- Task
- track materials/parts/consumables across active job sites for accurate project costing
- Result
- ~2 hours/week saved on invoicing/ordering; estimated $200–$500/month consumable cost savings via low-stock alerts (fewer rush orders); tracking 50+ inventory types
- Tools

- Setup
- set up folders per project/site → photo + barcode items → low-stock alerts → pull usage reports for cost allocation → train non-technical staff on mobile app
Step-by-step setup guide + copy-paste prompt
Prerequisites
- Sortly account (mobile app on phones in the truck/warehouse).
- List of 50+ item types you care about (the TCM scale) with reorder points.
Recipe
- Create folders by job site or category (fasteners, adhesives, PPE…).
- Add items with photos and optional barcode/QR; set quantity and low-stock alert thresholds.
- Train the crew: every pull updates quantity in the app (or scan QR).
- Turn on low-stock notifications to whoever orders — rush orders drop when alerts fire early.
- Run a weekly report for invoicing/ordering instead of walking the shelves.
Copy-paste prompt
Turn this messy supply list into a Sortly starter CSV with columns:
