Software for building materials suppliers that deliver to job sites

Job-site deliveries are where disputes start: who received the load, when, and in what condition. SPS documents every drop and gets every contractor sign-off into the ERP.

// The challenge

A job site is not a loading dock

Building materials go to places without a receiving desk: an open lot, a high-rise under construction, a road project that moves every week. Access depends on the site, the truck and sometimes a crane booking, and the person who signs may be a foreman, a subcontractor or nobody at all.

When there is no clear record, every delivery can become a dispute - over quantities, damaged materials or a load left at the wrong gate. And when part of the fleet is hired haulers, the paperwork is even harder to collect.

Back in the office, the gaps show up as delays: invoices held until a signed ticket is found, quotes waiting for a contractor’s signature, and change agreements negotiated by phone with nothing in writing.

// A day in the operation

A day of job-site deliveries - and where SPS fits

01Planning

ShipSnap plans routes with vehicle type, site constraints and the delivery windows agreed with each contractor - and learns the site rules your dispatcher applies.

ShipSnap
02Hired haulers

Loads given to hired haulers carry a ShipSnap QR code on the delivery note.

ShipSnap QR
03At the site

The driver - or the site contact through the QR code - records signature, photos of the unloaded materials, time and GPS location.

// Outcomes

What changes for a building materials supplier

  • Every drop documented - with photos and location.
  • Hired haulers covered - by the same proof of delivery.
  • Agreements signed remotely - without a site visit.
  • Invoices backed by evidence - that contractors accept.
// Where to start

Begin with the customers who dispute deliveries most often. Turn on photo and GPS proof for their drops, add ShipSnap QR to the loads you give to hired haulers, and let your dispatcher’s knowledge of each site build up in the planning over time.
