Simplifying Construction Warehousing Starts Here

Managing a warehouse for construction or building materials comes with unique challenges – heavy, oversized stock, fluctuating demand, time-sensitive deliveries, and multi-site logistics. A basic system or manual process just won’t cut it. 

Canary7’s WMS is purpose-built to support your construction supply chain, helping you streamline operations, reduce downtime, and meet the demands of contractors, tradespeople, and project managers. 

Whether you’re storing timber, cement, steel, fixtures, or electrical fittings, Canary7 ensures your warehouse runs smoothly.

Key Challenges in the Construction & Building Materials Sector

Without the right warehouse solution, businesses in this sector face: 

  • Inaccurate stock tracking – leading to over-ordering or project delays 
  • Inefficient space management – wasting valuable racking and yard space 
  • Complex delivery scheduling – with multiple suppliers and time-critical orders 
  • Manual errors – from mispicks to missed shipments 
  • Limited scalability – systems that can’t grow with your business 
  • Lack of visibility – making it hard to track inventory across multiple locations

Our WMS Solutions for Construction & Building Goods

Here’s how Canary7 solves your warehousing problems: 

Heavy & Oversized Inventory Management

Managing bulky inventory is one of the biggest challenges in the construction and building materials industry. Whether it’s pallets of bricks, steel beams, insulation rolls, or raw materials like cement and timber, these items are not only heavy but awkward to store, track, and move.

With Canary7, you can simplify the process from warehouse to worksite.

Our WMS is designed to handle the complexities of heavy-duty stock. From receiving and storing large items to picking and dispatching them efficiently, Canary7 ensures your warehouse runs smoothly—even when dealing with the bulkiest goods.

Dynamic Storage Allocation

Construction warehouses are fast-moving environments where space is at a premium and stock types vary in size, weight, and turnover rate. Traditional static storage methods often lead to wasted space, poor accessibility, and costly delays. That’s where Canary7’s Dynamic Storage Allocation comes in.

Our intelligent WMS automatically allocates the most suitable storage location for each item based on real-time data like item size, weight, frequency of access, and stock levels. Whether it’s steel pipes, bulk cement bags, scaffolding, or electrical supplies, Canary7 adapts to your warehouse layout and maximises available space.

Real-Time Inventory Visibility

In the construction industry, delays and stockouts can halt entire projects. Knowing exactly what materials you have, where they are, and how quickly they’re moving is critical to meeting tight timelines and avoiding costly downtime.

With Canary7’s Real-Time Inventory Visibility, you gain full control and instant insight into your entire warehouse operation—from raw materials to finished goods.

Whether you’re managing concrete blocks, roof trusses, fixings, or large-format tiles, our WMS provides a live snapshot of your stock across multiple zones, bays, or warehouse sites. No more manual stock checks or guesswork—just accurate, up-to-date data at your fingertips.

Project-Based Order Fulfilment

Construction projects run on strict schedules and phased deliveries. Supplying the right materials, to the right site, at exactly the right time is critical—and that’s where Canary7’s Project-Based Order Fulfilment stands out.

Our WMS allows you to group orders by project, site, or contractor, giving you complete control over how and when goods are picked, packed, and dispatched. Whether you’re fulfilling a multi-phase housing development or supplying materials to multiple commercial sites, Canary7 helps you manage complex, high-value orders with ease.

Barcode & RFID Support

In a warehouse filled with bulky, irregular, and high-value construction materials, accuracy and traceability are everything. Whether you’re managing pallets of insulation, lengths of timber, or crates of fixings, Canary7’s Barcode and RFID support ensures every item is accounted for and easy to find.

Our system supports both traditional barcode scanning and advanced RFID tracking, giving your warehouse the flexibility to handle a wide range of materials—while reducing errors, improving speed, and boosting confidence across your supply chain.

Multi-Site Coordination

Managing construction materials across multiple warehouses, storage yards, and job sites can quickly become a logistical nightmare without the right system in place. That’s why Canary7’s Multi-Site Coordination feature is a game-changer for building materials suppliers, distributors, and manufacturers.

Whether you’re supplying to a single large development or managing inventory across various projects and depots, our warehouse management system gives you full control and real-time visibility over your entire network.

Reverse Logistics Support

Returns, damaged goods, surplus materials, and reusable packaging are all part of the everyday reality in the construction supply chain. Without a structured process, managing returns can lead to wasted stock, costly errors, and operational delays.

Canary7’s Reverse Logistics Support ensures that returned materials are processed efficiently, tracked accurately, and re-integrated into your inventory system or routed for disposal—all with minimal disruption to your warehouse workflows.
