Materials
Plan material deliveries, then record what arrived and what went down. Materials is where you plan a project's material deliveries and record the deliveries and installed quantities. Asphalt from a plant and granular from a pit are handled the same way, so the office has one record to reconcile against.
Problems solved
Where the day breaks down.
Tomorrow's material is on a notepad
The tonnes needed for each job get worked out on paper, and the dispatcher and the foreman each hold a different copy.
Delivered isn't the same as placed
A load arrives but can't go down. Without a record of both, the gap turns up weeks later when tickets are checked.
Quantities come in by phone
The office hears the day's tonnes in an evening call and types them in the next morning.
What it does
What Materials does.
In plain terms. Your version of STRACTA is shaped around how your team works, so bring your own workflow to the demo.
Plan deliveries
Plan the material each project needs for the day, such as 320 t of HL3 for a surface lift.
Record deliveries
Record the deliveries that arrive, so the office can see what came in against what was planned.
Record installed quantities
Record how much material was installed, so delivered and placed quantities can be checked against each other.

FAQ
Questions about Materials.
What does Materials record?
Planned deliveries, the deliveries that arrive and the quantities installed. Your team plans and records them in STRACTA.
How does Materials help with plant tickets?
Planned deliveries, recorded deliveries and installed quantities sit side by side, so the office has one record to check tickets against, including a load that arrived but wasn't placed.
Does Materials handle granular as well as asphalt?
Yes. In the example, the dispatcher plans HL3 asphalt from a plant for one project and Granular A from a pit for another, in the same way.
