# Material flow management Language: en Canonical: https://sitedrive.com/get/material-flow-management-sitedrive ##### MATERIAL FLOW MANAGEMENT ## The right material. The right floor. The right day. Sitedrive connects your takt schedule directly to material flow - so the right materials arrive at the right zone, on the right day. No surprises, no idle crews.  [Get started on your next project](https://sitedrive.com/get/apartment-buildings#interactive-demo) ## Material chaos breaks your takt rhythm #### ****Materials arrive late — and work stops.**** Crews stand idle. The takt window closes. Every delayed delivery puts the next zone at risk. #### ****Wrong floor, wrong time — someone has to find them.**** Materials land somewhere on site but not where work is happening. Time is lost before a single task begins. #### ****No visibility until it's too late.**** Deviations surface at the last minute. There's no early warning — just firefighting on the day. #### ****Schedule and materials managed in silos.**** Your takt plan lives in one tool, material orders in another. Coordination falls on people instead of the system. ![Caverion\_logo](https://sitedrive.com/hubfs/Caverion_logo-w176.png) ![fira-logo](https://sitedrive.com/hubfs/fira-logo-w139.png) ![Mangrove logo](https://sitedrive.com/hubfs/Mangrove%20logo-w298.png) ![skanska-logo](https://sitedrive.com/hubfs/skanska-logo-w217.jpg) ![Saint-Gobain\_logo.svg](https://sitedrive.com/hubfs/Saint-Gobain_logo.svg-w165.png) ![jmalm-logo](https://sitedrive.com/hubfs/jmalm-logo-w212.png) ![vrp\_logo](https://sitedrive.com/hubfs/vrp_logo-w151.png) ![hartela\_logo\_mv](https://sitedrive.com/hubfs/hartela_logo_mv-w243.png) ![bonava-logo](https://sitedrive.com/hubfs/bonava-logo-w91.jpg) ![AF Gruppen](https://sitedrive.com/hubfs/Customer%20logos%20\(500%20x%20100%20px\)%20\(2\)-w120.png) ![logo-backe](https://sitedrive.com/hubfs/logo-backe-w137.png) ![mittaviiva-logo](https://sitedrive.com/hubfs/sitedrive-mjwv1s-1-w255.webp) ![Betonmast](https://sitedrive.com/hubfs/Customer%20logos%20\(500%20x%20100%20px\)%20\(1\)-w120.png) ![tencon-logo](https://sitedrive.com/hubfs/tencon-logo-w132.png) How it works ## From BIM to build site — in one connected flow. Sitedrive closes the gap between your schedule and your supply chain. The takt schedule becomes the trigger for everything downstream. 01 BIM model Material quantities enriched with zone and floor location — straight from the model. 02 Takt schedule Sitedrive defines every work package by zone and day — the operational backbone for the entire site. 03 Material planning Pre-approved products and quantities automatically mapped to each takt zone and delivery day. 04 Precision delivery Materials arrive where work is happening — tracked, verified, deviations visible the moment they occur. What's included in Sitedrive ## More than scheduling. On a complex site, four questions need an answer every single day: what's happening, who's doing it, where, and when. Sitedrive keeps your material flow in sync with your schedule — so nothing stops production. 01 ### The backbone of your material flow No material, no production. Sitedrive's takt schedule is the single source of truth that tells everyone on site — and every supplier — exactly what needs to be where, and when. Before the day starts, not after it breaks. - What's happening — work packages defined per zone and day - Who's doing it — contractor and crew assigned to every task - Where and when — materials arrive at the right floor, on time ← Replace with your image URL 02 ### Right material, right place, right time When materials land on the wrong floor, crews stop working and start searching. Sitedrive routes every delivery to the exact zone where work is happening that day — so your teams walk in and get straight to work. - No more searching for materials on site - Delivery timing driven by the live takt plan - Only pre-approved materials reach the floor 03 ### Know before it stops production A missing delivery on Monday can halt work on Wednesday. Sitedrive surfaces material deviations early — while there's still time to act — so problems get resolved in the office, not discovered on the floor. - Deviations flagged before they hit the site - Less firefighting, more planned production - Full log so every exception is traceable ← Replace with your image URL ← Replace with your image URL 04 ### Everyone on the same plan When the main contractor, material partner and subcontractors all work from different systems, things fall through the gaps. Sitedrive gives every party one shared live plan — so no one is working from yesterday's information. - GC, material partner and subs in one system - No version confusion or lost messages - Connects to BIM, ERP and logistics tools ![shape4-wht](https://sitedrive.com/hubfs/shape4-wht-w2000.webp) ## Ready to connnect your schedule to your site?
