Inventory management built for garage door companies
Track springs, openers, panels, and hardware across trucks and warehouses. Purpose-built inventory management for garage door installation and repair businesses.
Pain points we solve
Garage door companies face unique inventory challenges. Ply was built to solve every one of them.
Spring and panel compatibility is impossible to memorize
Torsion springs, extension springs, and panel sections differ by door height, weight, and manufacturer. Without a cataloged parts database, technicians misidentify parts on the job and make a second trip — every time.
Residential truck stock runs dry before the shift ends
Installs burn through springs, rollers, and opener hardware fast. Without per-truck visibility, you can't predict which parts will run short or which techs will be waiting on a shop run mid-day.
Emergency opener replacements delay customers for days
When a motor needs same-day replacement and it's not on the truck, creating a PO manually costs hours. Customers expect same-day service — slow ordering puts that at risk.
Motor diagnostics and warranty data get lost at job close
Opener serial numbers, install dates, and motor diagnostics need to be on file for warranty claims and callbacks. Tracking them on paper across hundreds of residential jobs is error-prone and unscalable.
Key features for garage door
Purpose-built tools that solve the specific challenges garage door companies face every day.
Parts library by spring type, panel, and opener model
Build a searchable library organized by door height, weight rating, manufacturer, and opener model. Technicians confirm the right spring or panel section before loading the truck — no more costly mismatch returns.
Truck stock par levels tuned for residential installs
Set per-truck par levels calibrated to residential install and repair volume. Ply flags overnight replenishment needs so every tech starts the day stocked with the springs, rollers, and opener hardware they'll actually use.
One-click PO for same-day opener replacement
Create purchase orders in seconds from the field or the office. Pre-built supplier catalogs and one-click reordering mean emergency opener replacements get ordered before the technician finishes the call.
Serial number capture for openers and motors
Record opener and motor serial numbers at installation. Pull up full install history — serial number, install date, model — instantly, for warranty claims and motor diagnostics callbacks.
Accounting integration
Material costs sync to QuickBooks or Sage Intacct by job, department, or cost code. Your bookkeeper gets clean data without chasing receipts.
