Inventory management is one of the most important parts of running a high-performing yard. But understanding inventory in real time can be overwhelming if you’re on spreadsheets or old software. Inventory numbers quickly become outdated, cost visibility is shaky at best, sales decisions become hard to make, and everything slows down.

Manual processes seem quick in the moment, but slow your yard way down

Traditional inventory management using spreadsheets or dated software:

  • Siloed spreadsheets prevent team visibility, collaboration, and useful reporting
  • Disconnected purchase data and costs block accurate analysis
  • Manual updates lead to compounding errors and unreliable numbers
  • No integration into your downstream processes

These challenges waste both time and money. They also limit how fast you move material and shrink revenue potential.

💡 The Solution: Smart Inventory Tagging

ReMatter’s industry-leading inventory management system gives you complete visibility in real time. As a part of that, smart inventory tags with QR codes make it easy for you to manage inventory through your process.

No more manual spreadsheets – use ReMatter’s inventory tags to track both ‘Work in Progress’ and ‘Finished Good’ loads. Quickly reference status, location, costing, and more.
