Inventory Management

BcStep's flexibility in allowing suppliers to maintain their own Godown/Store with customized material naming conventions, while also accommodating the naming conventions used by clients in MRS/PO documentation, is commendable. This feature streamlines the tracking process for suppliers without necessitating changes to existing documentation. Furthermore, the platform ensures seamless communication between suppliers and clients by enabling suppliers to generate invoices with material names formatted according to the client's requirements. This capability enhances efficiency and minimizes the need for manual adjustments or reconciliations, ultimately contributing to smoother transactions and improved collaboration between parties.

Material Management with clients

The platform also ensures that dispatches are properly connected with both POs and MRSs, and it maintains records to facilitate the completion of the loop/track in case either document is missing at the time of dispatch. This feature enhances transparency and accountability throughout the supply chain process. Additionally, suppliers can receive notifications about defects in their supplies and manage the process of returning and collecting defective materials.

Tracking status of Invoice Certification

BcStep's streamlined process of submission and tracking of invoices eliminates the need for suppliers to navigate various contacts within client organizations. By providing visibility into the entire invoice certification process and offering contact information for individuals involved, suppliers can proactively address any issues that may arise, such as delays or clarifications needed. This feature empowers suppliers to efficiently manage their invoicing and payment processes while maintaining communication channels with relevant stakeholders at the client's office, ultimately fostering smoother transactions and stronger business relationships.

With the platform handling communication regarding POs/MRSs, material receipt, invoice submission, certification, and payment processing, suppliers can focus on their core operations without worrying about administrative hassles. This seamless coordination enhances efficiency and reduces the likelihood of errors or delays in the procurement and payment process.

With features such as quantity tracking and matching at different stages, BcStep provides suppliers with a centralized solution to efficiently manage their operations and maintain accurate records.

Tracking Signing of Checklists, Curing stages, Rectification of Quality-Notices/Snags and Testing of Materials

BcStep also addresses concerns about timely testing and monitoring of activities at the site. Invoicing prompts the site team to sign checklists, and checklist signing prompts the upload of test reports, curing, ponding, etc. This ensures enforcement of required all quality processes. Contractors are informed of instant quality matters and snag points, tracked until satisfactory resolution. Architects, consultants and visiting faculties can also report quality matters effortlessly.

Material tracking, from BOQ to MRS to PO to delivery and storage, is seamlessly managed in BcStep. Dispatch records from suppliers/contractors/sub-contractors automatically reach the developer's office, site team, and security team. Complaints to supplying companies are communicated efficiently, allowing for better and timely responses. The developer's office can monitor which test reports are verified by the architects or consultants and which ones are not.
