A builder can use Van Stock Pro to streamline operations, manage projects, ensure equipment and asset maintenance, and improve overall workflow. Here’s how a builder or construction company can benefit from using our software:
 
Building Maintenance Software

1. Project Scheduling and Work Orders

  • Scheduling Construction Tasks: Van Stock Pro helps builders manage and schedule various construction tasks such as site preparation, foundation work, framing, plumbing, electrical installation, and finishing. It ensures that tasks are completed on time and resources are allocated effectively.

​

  • Generating Work Orders: For each stage of the construction project, Van Stock Pro can generate detailed work orders, assigning tasks to specific crews or contractors. These work orders can include timelines, materials needed, and other specifics required to complete each phase.

​

2. Asset and Equipment Management

  • Tracking Construction Equipment: Builders rely on a wide range of heavy machinery, such as excavators, cranes, backhoes, bulldozers, and power tools. Van Stock Pro can track equipment, monitor usage, and schedule routine maintenance to ensure machinery runs smoothly without unexpected breakdowns.

​

  • Managing Tool Inventory: Van Stock Pro helps manage smaller tools like drills, saws, ladders, and safety gear, ensuring that they are well-maintained and readily available for each job.

​

3. Vehicle Fleet Management

  • Monitoring Fleet Maintenance: Builders often have a fleet of vehicles, such as trucks, delivery vans, and dump trucks, used to transport equipment, materials, and personnel to job sites. Van Stock Pro can track vehicle maintenance schedules, ensuring that vehicles are serviced regularly and ready for transport.

​

  • Fuel Usage & Mileage Tracking: Van Stock Pro can also track fuel consumption and mileage, helping to optimize routes and improve fuel efficiency, ultimately reducing operational costs.

​

4. Inventory & Materials Management

  • Tracking Building Materials: Van Stock Pro can track inventory levels of construction materials (e.g., cement, steel, timber, drywall, nails, and fasteners). This ensures that the right number of materials is on-site when needed, avoiding delays or overstocking.

​

  • Reordering Materials: When material stock levels are low, Van Stock Pro can automatically generate purchase orders to restock supplies, ensuring the project continues without delays caused by a shortage of materials.

​

5. Preventive Maintenance for Tools and Equipment

  • Routine Inspections: Van Stock Pro can schedule preventive maintenance tasks for tools, machinery, and vehicles. Regular inspections and maintenance help prevent costly downtime and extend the lifespan of assets, making the builder’s operations more cost-effective.

​

  • Workforce Efficiency: Ensuring that all equipment and tools are in good working order helps builders complete their tasks more efficiently, reducing the chances of delays caused by equipment failures.

​

6. Compliance and Safety Management

  • Safety Inspections & Tracking: Van Stock Pro can schedule and track safety inspections for tools, equipment, and even the construction site itself. This ensures that safety measures are in place and that compliance with OSHA or local building regulations is maintained.

​

  • Employee Safety Training: Van Stock Pro can store records of safety certifications and training for employees, making sure all personnel are properly trained to work on the job site and follow safety protocols.

​

7. Cost Control and Budgeting

  • Job Costing & Tracking: Builders can track costs associated with labor, materials, equipment, and other resources for each project. This helps manage budgets more effectively, identify cost overruns, and ensure that the project stays within financial limits.

​

  • Tracking Expenses: Van Stock Pro can log expenses, such as purchase orders, labor charges, and equipment rental costs, helping the builder stay on top of expenses and optimize financial management.

​

8. Document Management

  • Storing Blueprints & Plans: Van Stock Pro can serve as a centralized place to store project blueprints, permits, contracts, and other important documents. This allows easy access to critical files by the builder and other team members, helping avoid miscommunication or lost documents.

​

  • Tracking Change Orders: During a construction project, changes to plans or scope often arise. Van Stock Pro can track change orders, ensuring that modifications are documented, approved, and implemented properly.

​

9. Labor Management

  • Tracking Workforce Productivity: Van Stock Pro can monitor and record employee attendance, job assignments, and productivity. It can also track hours worked on specific tasks or job sites, helping the builder manage labor costs and optimize workforce deployment.

​

  • Scheduling Workers: Van Stock Pro can help manage labor scheduling, ensuring that the right workers with the necessary skills are assigned to each task at the appropriate time.

​

10. Mobile Access for Field Workers

  • Real-Time Updates: Builders and construction crews can use mobile devices to access Van Stock Pro on-site. This allows workers to receive real-time updates on work orders, log job progress, and report any issues or delays directly from the field.

​

  • Track Equipment & Material Usage: Crews can update equipment usage and materials consumption directly through their mobile devices, ensuring that inventory and asset management remain up to date.

​

11. Reporting and Analytics

  • Performance Analysis: Van Stock Pro can generate reports on project status, cost tracking, resource allocation, and maintenance history. Builders can use these reports to analyze performance, identify inefficiencies, and make data-driven decisions for future projects.

​

  • Forecasting & Planning: Builders can use historical data from the Van Stock Pro system to forecast future material needs, labor requirements, and equipment usage for upcoming projects.

​

12. Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

  • Managing Client Communication: Van Stock Pro can help builders track client communications, manage contracts, and store client feedback. This ensures that the builder maintains positive relationships with clients and stays on top of project expectations.

​

  • Warranty & Service Reminders: After project completion, the builder can use Van Stock Pro to track warranties and schedule any post-construction service or maintenance required for the client’s property.

​

13. Quality Control and Inspection Tracking

  • Track Inspections: Builders need to conduct regular inspections to ensure that construction meets quality standards and local building codes. Van Stock Pro can schedule these inspections, track issues, and create reports to ensure that everything is up to code.

​

  • Non-Conformance Reports: If there are any issues with quality, the software can help document and track non-conformance reports and ensure that corrective actions are taken promptly.

​

14. Supply Chain Management
