Description

Ply is a cutting-edge inventory and purchasing solution designed exclusively for trade businesses, leveraging artificial intelligence to optimize operations. By reducing urgent supply runs, it empowers contractors and service teams to enhance their billable hours through automated procurement processes, smart reorder notifications, and vendor comparisons, while also providing real-time insights into inventory across trucks, warehouses, and job sites. The platform features essential tools such as usage-based minimum and maximum thresholds, barcode printing, mobile scanning, and the ability to generate and reconcile purchase orders, all while seamlessly integrating with field service and accounting software like ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, and QuickBooks Online. It effectively consolidates material catalogs, monitors both in-use and consumed items, and identifies instances of over-ordering or excess stock to help maintain healthy cash flow. Users have reported a recovery of 5 to 10 additional hours each week by streamlining operations and eliminating the chaos associated with spreadsheets, all while ensuring complete visibility of material locations and timely replenishment needs. This comprehensive approach not only boosts efficiency but also supports better decision-making across trade businesses.
