Yard Stock and Bulk Pricing, Tracked by the Unit That Fits
A building materials distributor is not counting pieces, it is tracking tonnes of cement, bundles of steel bars and pallets of tiles across yards and warehouses, sold to contractors on credit terms that need watching. TCB Infotech connects yard stock, unit of measure conversion and contractor credit tracking to your existing ERP.
50+ ERP and software projects. Zero failed projects since 2021.
Bulky, weight- and volume-based stock does not fit a piece-count screen
Cement sold by the bag, steel sold by weight or length, tiles sold by square metre: a building materials distributor needs stock and pricing tracked in the unit that actually matches how the material moves and is billed.
Stock, unit conversion and contractor credit on one screen
Instead of a generic quantity field, each material is tracked in the unit of measure that fits it, with conversion between units where a bulk delivery needs to be split, and contractor credit visible alongside every order.
- Stock tracked by yard, warehouse and unit of measure.
- Bulk conversion between bags, tonnes, pieces and area.
- Contractor credit limits and terms tracked per account.
Delivery schedules and rate contracts that hold on their own
Your ERP holds contractor accounts and invoicing. The custom software layer manages delivery scheduling, vehicle tracking and rate contracts for bulk buyers, and AI automation flags a contractor account approaching its credit limit before the next order goes out.
- Delivery vehicles and schedules tracked against orders.
- Rate contracts applied automatically for bulk buyers.
- Credit limit exceptions flagged before dispatch, not after.

How We Track Yard Stock, Units and Contractor Credit
From a yard stock count to a converted unit and a checked credit limit. Here is the detail behind how we build it for a building materials distributor.
Stock, conversion and credit, tracked the way the yard actually works
Every material tracked by yard, warehouse and unit of measure
Bulky and weight- or volume-based stock, cement, steel, sand, tiles, is tracked in the unit that fits it, across every yard and warehouse, rolled up into one shared view instead of a single piece count.
- Stock tracked by yard, warehouse and unit of measure.
- Bulk deliveries logged against the correct location.
- Physical yard counts reconciled against the system record.
Bags, tonnes and pieces converted consistently, not re-keyed by hand
When a bulk delivery needs splitting across units, bags to tonnes, pieces to length, the conversion is handled consistently, and rate contracts or bulk pricing for contractor and project buyers apply automatically at order time.
- Conversion rules set once per material, applied everywhere.
- Rate contracts applied automatically for bulk buyers.
- Bulk pricing tiers tracked against project volume.
Credit checked before dispatch, delivery tracked to the site
Every contractor account carries its own credit limit and payment terms, checked automatically before an order is dispatched, and delivery vehicles and schedules are tracked against the site drop-off window.
- Credit limits checked automatically before dispatch.
- Payment terms tracked per contractor account.
- Delivery vehicles and schedules tracked against orders.
