Sage 200 Construction Materials Management

Control Construction Materials Across Projects, Sites and Warehouses

Construction and infrastructure projects rely on accurate control of materials across multiple locations, suppliers and field teams. Delays caused by missing stock, poor communication or inaccurate project allocation can quickly affect labour productivity, project timelines and profitability.

ES Consulting has developed a specialist solution for Sage 200 Construction Materials Management, establishing a dedicated architecture within the Barcoder 250 Cloud Warehouse Management System designed specifically for companies operating large project-based environments.

The system integrates directly with Sage 200 and Sicon Projects to provide complete operational visibility of materials from purchasing through to site usage.

Materials Management for Construction and Infrastructure Projects

Many construction businesses manage project materials using disconnected systems and manual processes such as:

  • Spreadsheets
  • Phone calls between site and warehouse
  • Paper requisitions
  • Manual goods receipt
  • Informal stock allocation methods

As projects grow, this often creates:

  • Unknown stock usage
  • Duplicate purchasing
  • Materials unavailable on site
  • Delayed project costing
  • Lost stock
  • Poor visibility between warehouse and field teams
  • Difficulties tracking supplier deliveries

Barcoder 250 Cloud introduces structured operational control across the entire materials lifecycle.

Integrated Directly with Sage 200

The platform delivers comprehensive Sage 200 Construction Materials Management, designed specifically for businesses using Sage ecosystems.

Sage 200 remains the accounting and commercial management platform while Barcoder manages operational warehouse and project workflows.

Integration typically includes:

  • Purchase order import
  • Sales order synchronisation
  • Stock movement updates
  • Goods receipt posting
  • Project material allocation
  • Stock valuation alignment
  • Warehouse transaction processing

This ensures financial reporting within Sage 200 remains accurate while operational control is significantly improved.

Compatible with Sicon Projects

For businesses using Sicon Projects, the system supports project-based workflows allowing materials to be allocated directly against:

  • Projects
  • Works orders
  • Cost centres
  • Site activities
  • Engineer requests

This provides improved visibility of material consumption across live projects and strengthens project costing accuracy.

Mobile Material Requests from Site

One of the key features of the Barcoder system is the ability for engineers and site teams to request materials remotely using the mobile application.

Site users can:

  • Request stock required for a project
  • Link requests to works orders or projects
  • Add delivery instructions
  • Specify urgent requirements
  • Submit requests directly to warehouse teams

Warehouse staff can then process these requests through barcode-controlled picking and dispatch workflows.

This removes dependency on:

  • Informal phone requests
  • Manual paperwork
  • Email chains
  • Spreadsheet-based requisitions

Direct-to-Site Purchase Order Receipt

Construction and infrastructure projects frequently involve suppliers delivering materials directly to site rather than through the warehouse.

Barcoder supports direct-to-site receipt workflows allowing engineers or site supervisors to:

  • Receive goods directly against Sage 200 purchase orders
  • Confirm delivered quantities
  • Record shortages or damages
  • Capture serial or batch numbers
  • Take photographs of delivered items as proof of receipt

This creates a complete operational audit trail linked directly to the project and purchase order.

The proof-of-delivery photo capability is particularly valuable for:

  • High-value materials
  • Supplier disputes
  • Damage claims
  • Remote project locations
  • Compliance documentation

Construction Warehouse and Site Stock Control

The cloud infrastructure unifies stock management across multiple operational locations including central warehouses, site compounds, temporary storage areas, engineer vans, remote project stores, and trade counters.

Operational Actions

  • Transfer stock between locations
  • Allocate materials to projects
  • Perform stock checks on site
  • Track material movement history
  • Return unused materials back into stock

This provides complete visibility of project inventory across the organisation.

Barcode Scanning

Barcode scanning helps improve stock accuracy and warehouse efficiency across project operations.

Supported workflows:

  • Goods receipt & picking
  • Site transfers
  • Returns processing
  • Stock adjustments
  • Project allocations

Industrial barcode scanners and Android mobile devices are fully supported.

Project Costing

Many construction companies struggle to accurately track which materials were consumed by specific projects.

Barcoder improves project costing visibility by linking warehouse activity directly to:

  • Projects & Works orders
  • Site requests
  • Material issues & POs

This reduces delayed costing adjustments and improves operational accountability.

Designed for Construction and Infrastructure Businesses

The solution is particularly suitable for:

  • Fibre infrastructure companies
  • Electrical contractors
  • Mechanical and electrical installers
  • Civil engineering firms
  • Water infrastructure contractors
  • Utility providers
  • Multi-site construction operations

Existing Users Include:
