Supply Chain for Irrigation businesses
Watches stock across the warehouse and every truck, drafts the reorder before you run out, and sends routine restocks to your suppliers automatically.
How irrigation shops run the numbers
- Typical labor rate: $80/hr
- Material markup: 50%
- Target margin: 30%
- Minimum job: $200
Industry ballparks — Automic Trades pre-fills these for your irrigation shop, then tunes to your books.
What the Supply Chain does
- Sweeps warehouse + per-truck stock daily for min/max and projected stockout from recent usage
- Drafts purchase orders with auto-numbering; Grainger orders auto-submit under your dollar threshold, above it they come for approval; partnership-gated suppliers always draft for you to send
- Surfaces emergency / same-day parts when a scheduled job needs stock that is not on hand
- Proposes the 3-way match (PO / receipt / invoice) and hands it to Bookkeeping to reconcile
- Tracks vendor performance — on-time, fill rate, defect rate, price trend — and feeds warehouse stock into job costing
Why it helps irrigation owners
A truck rolling without the right part is a wasted hour minimum, and margin leaks at the parts counter when nobody is watching price trend. Supply Chain keeps ordering, receiving, and inventory tight so a job never stalls waiting on a part nobody ordered.
