Intergraph Smart^® Materials is an integrated software solution for end-to-end materials management. Materials management solutions provide a common collaboration platform and project workbench for all supply chain partners. This materials management software helps to lower project costs, compress schedules, and improve risk management. Gain a competitive advantage in materials management from initial cost estimation through the supply chain to on-site management and more.

What is materials management?

Materials management is a key supply chain function that includes planning, organising and controlling the activities which ensure production or construction continuity.

Materials management software improves this function by standardising data and information between departments, contractors and sub-contractors which lowers costs and compresses schedules.

Management by Exception

High-level reports allow management to see the current material status at a glance and act only if needed. Our solution will make large amounts of complex data understandable for management and project directors.

Lower Costs

Access information online during all project phases: Correct information is handed over from engineering; then procurement makes the right decisions in project purchasing, supply chain engagement and scheduling.

Compress Schedules

Reduce plant schedule by avoiding shortages on materials. Using a daily forecast or simulation, materials managers are always in control of what materials are needed today, tomorrow, next week or next month.

Global Workshare

Enable global project worksharing and execution using correct, complete, consistent data. Smart Materials eliminates silo work and helps engineering, procurement and construction teams work together in a most efficient way.

Data Reuse

Reuse data throughout the plant lifecycle, including operations, maintenance and refurbishment. Use Smart Materials to compare your project performance across projects and also for creating quotes for new projects.

Onboard Third Parties

Using Smart Materials Portal, you can easily onboard suppliers, subcontractors and freight forwarders. Monitor vendor data and provide information related to requests for quotations, packing lists and logistics.

On-Site Management

Material site data collection can be automated for site receiving, inventory reconciliation, material issuing and more.

Expediting, Inspection & Logistics

Continual data reuse between departments ensures data is reliably maintained as subsequent revisions are issued.

BOM and Requisitions

This solution supports a BOM for bulk or itemized materials from estimate and basic (front-end) design through detailed design to the as-built plant.

Supplier Management

Reduces procurement costs by onboarding suppliers and online bidding capabilities. Use Materials to track account codes, enabling procurement reporting.
