Construction and installation: Inventory software for facade cleaning contractors
Inventory software for facade cleaning contractors that tracks cleaning agents, equipment and barrier materials per van and per job, so a crew never arrives at a facade without the right product.
Where stock drifts for facade cleaning contractors.
Facade cleaning contractors use different agents for different soiling: one for green growth, another for efflorescence, a graffiti remover and sometimes a water repellent. Then there is equipment such as steam cleaners, low-pressure sprayers, hoses, collection trays and barrier materials. What is in which van is often known only to the crew leader. A crew heads to a graffiti job and finds on site that the right remover has run out. A steam cleaner is in for service but booked for tomorrow. And how much agent each facade used goes unrecorded, so reordering happens by feel and the cost per job stays unknown.

Record agents and equipment
Each agent gets a record with soiling type, packaging and location: warehouse or which van. Equipment gets a record with condition and service date. You can see which steam cleaner is available and how much of each agent exists in total, not just what is in the warehouse.
Reserve per job
Based on the job card and facade sections, agents and equipment are reserved for a job. The crew leader sees what to load. If an agent is missing or equipment is in for service, the scheduler sees it beforehand rather than on the day itself.
Update usage after the job
Afterwards the crew records how much agent was used and what goes back to the warehouse. Faulty equipment is reported with a reason. Stock stays accurate and a picture emerges of usage per facade material and soiling type. Reordering then follows real usage.
Alongside your purchasing and suppliers.
There is often a list in the warehouse, an account with a wholesaler and a van set up per crew. The wholesaler's product names and item numbers stay in charge. The warehouse owns stock levels, the crew leader owns what is in his van, the scheduler owns reservations. Safety data sheets stay with the supplier and in your own documentation; the inventory links to them. Purchase invoices stay in the accounting package.
Fixed van kit or load per job
A fixed kit per van makes loading simple but means every van carries a bit of everything. Loading per job is more precise but takes time. A fixed base of common agents, topped up per job with specific products like graffiti remover, works well for many facade cleaning contractors.
Estimate or measure usage
Measuring usage per facade exactly is hard on a scaffold. Estimating by container is realistic: a full can out, a half can back. Over several jobs that gives a useful picture of usage per material, without the crew carrying scales. The crew leader simply notes what goes out and what comes back.
Own equipment or hire
Own steam cleaners and low-pressure sprayers are always available but need maintenance. Hiring for peaks is flexible. The inventory shows how often own equipment is in for service and how often hiring is needed, which helps decide whether to buy more. Buying then becomes a decision you can back up.
How it already runs at similar businesses.
Which stock we record.
Agents and equipment by location, reserving per job and updating usage: that is in inventory from the start. Before it goes live, we practise with a week of standard facades with green growth, and with a graffiti job for which the right remover is almost gone while the steam cleaner is in for service. Service scheduling for equipment and an alert at a minimum stock per agent are added once the count is reliable.

Explore pricing and optionsDo crews have to record usage after every job?
A short entry after each job keeps stock current. It is a few choices: which agent, roughly how many containers, what goes back. It takes minutes and stops the next crew setting off without a product.
Can we track equipment servicing?
Yes, equipment has a status and a service date. When a steam cleaner is in for service, it cannot be reserved. The scheduler sees this while planning and can switch to other equipment or a hired unit.
How do we know which agents suit which stone?
That remains the planner's expertise. The inventory can note per agent which soiling type and material it is meant for, so a warning appears when reserving an agent that does not suit the chosen stone. The decision stays with a person.
Does inventory include barriers and protective sheeting?
Yes, barriers, signs, protective sheeting and collection trays can be tracked like agents. Barrier materials in particular get scattered across jobs. Reserving them per job shows where they are, and after the job the crew reports what is back in the warehouse.
