Procurement, materials and equipment
Materials, deliveries and rentals, followed up before they slip.
Brody keeps every order, delivery and rental on your jobs moving. He calls suppliers about long-lead items and late deliveries, confirms equipment and off-rent dates, chases returns and credits, and flags ticket exceptions for your team.
In short
Construction material tracking software
Construction material tracking software follows each item from submittal approval and order through delivery, receiving and any return or credit, so the field knows what is coming and the office knows what was billed. Brody by Buildalytic adds the follow-up: calls and texts to suppliers, rental companies and crews when a date or quantity changes.

What Brody handles
Every order and rental with a confirmed date.
Long-lead and procurement log follow-up
Track release, fabrication and ship dates for long-lead items and call the supplier when a date is missing or moves.
02Material tracking
Follow each item from approval to delivery so the field and office see the same status.
03Delivery booking and late deliveries
Book delivery windows, and when a delivery is late, call the supplier for a new time and tell the superintendent.
04Receiving, returns and credits
Record short or damaged deliveries at receiving and follow up until the return or credit is confirmed.
05Equipment rentals and off-rent
Confirm cranes, pumps and lifts the day before and call in off-rent the day the equipment is done.
06Rental invoices and credits
Check rental invoices against the dates on record and follow up on credits owed.
07Equipment breakdowns and tools
Take breakdown calls from the field, reach the service provider and track tool checkout by person and job.
08Haul, waste and concrete tickets
Match tickets to invoices and follow up on the exceptions with the hauler or supplier.
09Submittal to procurement handoff
Release orders as soon as submittals are approved and confirm prefab quantities with the shop.
How it works
Set the rule once. Brody makes the call.
Set the rule
For example: if the crane is not confirmed by 2 PM the day before, call the rental company, then the PM.
Brody follows up
He calls or texts the supplier, rental company or crew and records the answer.
Exceptions reach a person
A changed date, short delivery or disputed charge goes to the right person with the details.
The record stays current
Dates, quantities and credits are updated on the job and in the systems you already use.

Why it matters
A late delivery costs a crew-day.
Most procurement problems are found by calling: a release date nobody confirmed, a rental still on the clock after the work ended, a credit promised and never issued.
Brody makes those calls on the schedule you set, so your project managers hear about exceptions while there is still time to act.
