Resources — Overview
Track materials, deliveries, and vendors across your construction project from a single module.
Resources is where you manage everything related to materials on your project — what you have in stock, what's being delivered, and who's supplying it. The three tabs work together to give you a clear picture of your material situation at any point during construction.
What's Inside
| Tab | What It Handles | When You'll Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory | Materials on your project with stock levels and budget tracking | Checking stock, logging consumption, adjusting quantities |
| Deliveries | Every delivery arriving on-site, with the vendor check on each record | Logging new arrivals, checking why a delivery was flagged |
| Vendors | Approved suppliers with contact details and status | Adding new suppliers, managing who can deliver to your site |
How the Pieces Connect
Materials flow through a defined path before they show up in your inventory:
Approved Materials Only
Only materials approved through Material Submittals can be added to your inventory — this ensures every material on your project has proper documentation and traceability.
Accessing Resources
- Click Resources in the sidebar navigation
- Resources is scoped to a project — open the project first, then Resources
The three tabs appear at the top of the page. The page opens on the Inventory tab each time.
Quick Tips
- Over budget is shown on a material's detail page when its total delivery cost passes budget rate × planned quantity
- Use category filters to quickly find materials — filter by Concrete, Metals, Masonry, and more
- Group by category or unit to organize large inventories on bigger projects
- The Deliveries tab doubles as your vendor delivery history — filter by vendor to see all their deliveries, costs, and approval status

Questions
Can I use Resources on my phone?
Yes. Open PleoStack in your phone's browser and Resources is there, with the same three tabs. It's a web app, so it needs a connection to save your work.
Who can see and change things in Resources?
Anyone on the project can see the inventory. Seeing deliveries and vendors, and making any change, depends on what your role allows. Your organisation's Owner sets that in Settings → Members & Roles. The buttons show to everyone, so if your role doesn't allow a change, you find out when the save is refused, and the message gives the reason.
Is Resources shared across my projects?
No. Each project has its own inventory, deliveries and vendors, so a supplier you use on two projects is added on each. To move material from one project to another, record it as a stock adjustment on both.
Can I export my inventory or deliveries?
No. Resources has no export or download. A material's page shows its whole history on the Usage, Deliveries and Adjustments tabs.
