Tie the PO to the requirement
Planned for launch: attach a manually prepared PO to the cab job and the material line it serves.
Planned for Q3 2026 launch
Software for the elevator supply chain
Your promised date needs a job behind it.
A wrong stainless finish or short hardware shipment can stop the shop floor. The planned launch workflow will tie each vendor handoff to the cab job without exposing the manufacturer’s full operation. Purchasing is not available today.
PO context
A purchase order should tell you what it is holding up.
A PO number and ship-to address do not tell you which custom panel the shop is waiting for. Planned for launch, the purchasing record will connect the requirement, supplier timing, and receipt outcome. Build It Track It does not generate or manage POs today.
Record the vendor’s date
Planned for launch: keep supplier timing with the job for staff review.
Keep the shortage open
Planned for launch: leave short shipments, wrong finishes, and damage open until staff resolve them.
Stages 7 through 9 — planned for launch
The material line stays attached to the cab job.
A vendor date matters only when the buyer knows which shop work depends on it. The Q3 2026 launch plan will carry that material line from the PO record through receipt and into production planning within the full elevator cab workflow.
Stage 7
Purchasing and inventory
Planned for the Q3 2026 launch: the manufacturer will attach a manually prepared PO record to the cab job, material requirement, vendor, and purchasing documents.
Stage 8
Material receipt
Planned for the Q3 2026 launch: staff will record what arrived. A short quantity, wrong finish, damaged panel, or missing component will remain an open receipt issue.
Stage 9
Shop capacity
Planned for the Q3 2026 launch: the supplier’s stated timing will remain with the job. A live capacity calendar and station-hour risk calculation are not current capabilities.
Catch a material shortfall at receipt, not at the station.
The shop floor is the wrong place to discover a short shipment or wrong finish. Planned for launch, Stage 8 will let staff record the actual receipt against the requirement. Any exception will stay attached to the PO record and cab job.
The planned record will preserve promised quantity, received quantity, condition, and unresolved gaps for the buyer’s follow-up. It will not be an inventory ledger or automated low-stock system.
Vendor-visible does not mean company-visible.
A specialty supplier needs the requirement, finish, quantity, ship-to details, and timing for its order. It does not need the manufacturer’s margins, other bids, full customer file, internal messages, or shop-wide bookings.
Planned for launch, supplier access will be limited to the relevant job and action, not the manufacturer’s full workspace. See how this boundary is designed across every elevator project role.
Planned for Q3 2026 launch
The supplier sees the order, not the whole shop.
The launch plan will let suppliers confirm the requirement and quote lead time. They will also be able to raise finish or quantity questions, coordinate receiving, and resolve shortfalls against the order. Supplier and receipt workflows are not available today.
A vendor date is not a customer promise.
Supplier timing is one input. At launch, the manufacturer will still make the delivery commitment. A vendor date will not automatically schedule production or become a customer promise.
The Q3 2026 launch plan will keep those inputs with the cab job for staff review. Elevator contractors and installers will receive a staff-approved project date, not an automatically calculated promise.
Software for the elevator supply chain: supplier questions
Direct answers about planned PO records, quoted lead times, receipt exceptions, capacity, and vendor access.
What does elevator supply chain software give a material vendor?
Planned for the Q3 2026 launch, a vendor-facing handoff will provide job-specific purchasing context without exposing the manufacturer’s internal estimate, margins, other quotes, or unrelated jobs. Purchasing and supplier access are not available today.
Which elevator cab materials can be coordinated in the platform?
The planned launch workflow will support project context for specialty materials such as stainless steel, glass, stone, laminate, lighting, and hardware. Build It Track It will not replace a supplier’s fabrication or inventory system, and it does not provide an inventory ledger today.
How are vendor lead times connected to the cab delivery date?
Planned for launch, staff will record supplier timing against the job for delivery planning. Vendor-delay warnings, capacity calculations, and automatic delivery-date scheduling are not current capabilities; the manufacturer will remain responsible for assessing the effect.
What happens when a material shipment is short or incorrect?
Planned for launch, staff will record receipt exceptions such as a shortfall, wrong finish, damage, or partial shipment against the PO record and job. Build It Track It does not manage receipts or inventory today.
Can a supplier see the manufacturer’s production capacity plan?
No. Build It Track It does not have a production capacity plan today. Supplier timing and scoped vendor access are planned for the Q3 2026 launch; any future vendor view will exclude unrelated jobs, internal labour assumptions, and commercial information.
Does Build It Track It send purchase orders automatically?
No. Purchasing is not available today. The Q3 2026 launch plan begins with staff recording a manually prepared PO and attaching its document to the job. Build It Track It will not auto-generate a PO from a BOM or inventory shortfall at launch.
Know which vendor date the shop is waiting on.
See how planned purchasing records and receipt exceptions will connect to the elevator cab manufacturer’s operation at the Q3 2026 launch. Those workflows are not available today.
