Why do you need materials management software?

Without centralized inventory — materials run out unexpectedly, warehouses pile up with surplus, real project cost is a mystery.

Running out at wrong moments

Cement runs out on site, work stops. Low stock alerts warn before this happens.

No supplier analytics

Which supplier sells cheaper? Who delays? getSuppliersByWarehouse provides the answer.

Mixed batches

Cement from different deliveries at different prices — without batch tracking you don't know which batch remains and what you paid.

No multi-warehouse visibility

Material is in warehouse A but site is near warehouse B. Without getByWarehouse — consolidated picture impossible.
