In the world of construction, managing your project’s electrical materials can be a large undertaking and a huge headache.
Does this sound familiar? It’s the end of the month, and you are calculating the gross profit across your current projects. Not only are the losses higher than normal, but they are easily avoidable. If you had a proper place to store electrical materials, the lighting fixtures would not have gotten damaged, and the wire reel wouldn’t have been misplaced on the jobsite.
If this sounds familiar, it’s clear you need a better way to manage your project’s electrical materials.
This is where partnering with a trustworthy electrical distributor to provide project material management comes in.
Electrical Project Material Management Services
Project Material Storage
An expert electrical distributor will order and store the electrical supplies your project needs, only delivering the material to your jobsite based on your project schedule.
Benefits
- Less jobsite downtime
With project materials set on a timeline, you will receive the materials right when you need them—that means less time on the phone ordering supplies or driving to your local electrical supply store. - Minimize storage costs
With material being delivered in phases aligned to your project timeline, you’ll reduce the need for large on-site storage solutions that can be costly. - Keep materials safe & secure
The longer materials sit on the jobsite, the higher the risk of damage, theft, or them being misplaced.
Material Kitting
Do you repeatedly use the same set of electrical supplies for one type of application? The kitting of electrical supplies typically refers to the process of assembling and packaging a set, or “kit,” of electrical components (cables, connectors, switches, outlets, etc.) that are needed for a specific project.
An expert electrical distributor can customize material packages to your exact specifications by kitting electrical supplies. This can include different parts from different manufacturers and in quantities that meet specific needs.
Benefits to kitting electrical supplies include saving money by keeping your team focused on installation instead of tracking down material, as well as reducing errors, misplaced components, and unnecessary returns.
Custom ID Labeling
While material storage will significantly decrease lost and damaged items, custom ID labeling takes it a step further.
Custom ID labeling keeps assets, such as wire reels, organized and easy to identify on the jobsite. These assets can easily end up in the wrong area, causing delays, damage, and loss to your project timeline and bottom line. With clearly marked custom IDs, each asset is delivered and placed exactly where you need it.

Project Material Shipments
Storing your electrical project materials is only part of the equation—how and when they arrive is just as important. A reliable electrical distributor will provide project management of your materials to ensure delivery based on your project schedule. Only installing fixtures on the second floor that day? That bill of material (BOM) is the only material shipped—nothing extra to lose or get damaged.
Look for these additional shipping and pickup solutions designed with your schedule and convenience in mind, including:
- Advanced shipping notifications
Via email and/or text, know exactly when your order will arrive so you can plan accordingly and avoid delays. - Smart order pickup lockers
Order online and pick up materials at your convenience with locker order pickup—even outside of business hours. - Convenient pickup locations
Need to grab something in person? A distributor with multiple locations makes it easy to order online, over the phone, and through text, and pick up your supplies, many times the same day.
