Inventory Tracking for Designer Projects (Receiving → Storage → Installation)
When multiple vendors ship items at different times, inventory management becomes the #1 risk on install day.
We can track each shipment from receiving through delivery so you know what has arrived, what’s pending, and what’s staged for install.
What We Track
- Project labeling: Items tagged by project name, room/zone, and designer instructions
- Receiving records: Carrier, delivery date, carton/pallet/crate counts
- Condition notes: Visible damage, missing parts, exceptions documented
- Photo documentation (optional): Quick visuals for designer approval and dispute support
- Install staging: Items organized by room and install sequence for fast placement
Designer-Friendly Updates
- Inbound status updates: “Received / Staged / Ready for Delivery / Delivered”
- Pre-install checklist so your team can confirm everything is ready before reveal day
