FrameWatch Features

Inventory, usage, waste, and recovery in one simple system.

FrameWatch helps contractors, prefab builders, and small manufacturing shops see what came in, where it went, what was used, and what can still be recovered.

How FrameWatch follows your material flow

Instead of only showing a list of inventory, FrameWatch helps track the movement of material through the business.

1

Material Comes In

Log stock as it arrives so the team knows what is available before it is used or misplaced.

2

Material Gets Assigned

Move inventory to a job, building, site, crew, workflow, or storage location.

3

Workers Check Out Stock

Employees can claim or check out the material needed for their role or assigned task.

4

Waste Gets Logged

Track warped, damaged, missing, unusable, or overused material before it becomes invisible loss.

5

Usable Material Is Recovered

Keep scrap, salvage, surplus, and donation-ready material visible for reuse or pickup.

Scrap & Salvage Recovery

Save usable scraps by size, type, status, or location so they can be reused instead of thrown away.

The problem FrameWatch solves

Most material loss does not happen all at once. It happens through small gaps in visibility.

Without FrameWatch

  • Inventory gets tracked in scattered spreadsheets or notes.
  • Material leaves the stock area without a clear usage trail.
  • Waste gets noticed after the money is already gone.
  • Usable scraps are forgotten, thrown away, or buried.
  • Managers guess where overuse or missing stock is happening.

With FrameWatch

  • Material has a clearer intake and movement record.
  • Jobs and workers can be tied to actual usage.
  • Waste can be logged when it happens.
  • Reusable scrap and surplus stay visible.
  • Managers can review patterns instead of guessing.

Built for practical operations

FrameWatch is not limited to one rigid workflow. It can support different businesses that need better material accountability.

Prefab Builders

Track buildings and material use

Follow stock from intake to building assignment, checkout, waste, and recovery.

Contractors

Track jobs, crews, and sites

Keep visibility when materials move between job sites, crews, trailers, and storage areas.

Small Manufacturers

Track stock and workflow stages

Use FrameWatch to manage materials, order flow, surplus, scraps, and recovery.

Optional API expansion

For businesses that need FrameWatch data outside the dashboard, API lanes can support controlled data sharing.
