Field Materials: Solutions for Civil Contractors

Mechanical Contractor Software

Software to Manage Materials, Field Work, and Job Costs for Mechanical Contractors

We know your trade

We know that whether you’re wiring a ground-up build, running service work, or handling tenant improvements:

  • Large equipment POs must be secured early, often months before installation, tying up budget and increasing risk if plans change.
  • Once work begins, daily counter buys and unplanned material purchases add up quickly, making cost control and job tracking a constant challenge.
  • Service teams need visibility into van inventory and a simple way to capture parts and receipts before costs get lost or posted late.
  • Prefab work depends on tight coordination between materials, inventory, and production status to avoid delays caused by missing components.

FAQ

What should mechanical contractors look for in software for purchasing and AP?

Look for a system that connects purchase orders, delivery documentation, and invoices in one workflow. Mechanical contractor software should support field document capture, item-level matching, and clean ERP integration so teams are not rebuilding records later.

Does Field Materials AI work for both new construction projects and service work?

Yes. Mechanical contractors use it for planned project purchasing as well as service-related receipts, field buys, and inventory requests. This keeps both types of work visible without managing separate processes.

How does invoice matching work for partial deliveries?

Field Materials matches invoices to the PO and delivery records and flags differences in quantities or pricing. If something is missing or incorrect, AP can route the issue back to the project team or supplier before posting the invoice.

Can field crews upload delivery slips and receipts from the jobsite?

Yes. The mobile app makes it easy for crews to capture packing slips, delivery tickets, and receipts as the work happens. Those documents stay tied to the job and purchase order for faster review.

Does the platform support prefab workflows for mechanical contractors?

Yes. Teams can request prefab components, track production status, and connect material purchasing to each prefab order so the shop and field stay aligned.

Can we manage warehouse and service inventory in the same system?

Field Materials can manage many warehouses, provides visibility into  stock, and makes it easy for  field teams to request materials from mobile. This helps manage inventory across project work and service operations.

Which accounting software does Field Materials integrate with?

Field Materials integrates with major construction accounting platforms including Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300CRE, Sage Intacct, Viewpoint Vista, Viewpoint Spectrum, Foundation, Procore CMiC, QuickBooks Online, and QuickBooks Desktop.

Can we roll out Field Materials gradually?

Yes. Many contractors start with a single module such as invoices or purchase orders and expand over time, which minimizes changes and training effort.
