Location: Virtual Event
Presenter: Blair Sackney, Sales Executive, Remarcable

Inefficient material management is one of the biggest silent threats to an electrical contractor’s profitability. Disorganized procurement workflows, supplier delays, and lack of visibility into material pricing can create costly overruns and slow project delivery.

This ECAO webinar, presented in partnership with Remarcable, will help electrical contractors, project managers, and purchasing teams uncover and fix the hidden pitfalls that erode margins.

You’ll learn practical strategies to reduce the five hidden costs of material management that impact every construction project:

  1. Wasted labour hours from manual purchase order entry and fragmented communication.
  2. Material waste and overstocking due to poor warehouse inventory management and lack of real-time data.
  3. Price volatility and missed bulk-purchasing opportunities with preferred suppliers.
  4. Downtime caused by delayed deliveries, inaccurate shipping timelines, and poor coordination between the field team and purchasing department.
  5. Invoice and payment errors that disrupt cash flow and strain relationships with suppliers.

Whether you manage procurement for large-scale electrical projects, oversee construction supply chain operations, or lead estimating teams, this session will equip you with tools to:

  • Improve procurement efficiency
  • Enhance supplier integration
  • Boost jobsite productivity
  • Reduce project delays and budget overruns
