Field Materials Reviews & Product Details

Field Materials has streamlined our procurement process by engaging our field team members and eliminating the need for three different systems (SmartSheet, Outlook and Vista). It has also saved our Purchasing department countless hours because they are more efficient and can do everything they need to do within Field Materials.

The user interface is excellent and our Operations team love the fact that they can get a quick summary of actual vs budgeted costs on a single screen.

The inventory feature has also been well-received. Historically, we've done a poor job of tracking inventory so being able to do so has been a huge value-add for us! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were surprised that Field Materials does not sync materials receipts to Vista. It syncs POs well, but not material receipts. They are working with us to change that though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer support is very good. Dylan is always there when we need help and makes sure we're taken care of. The user interface is really friendly and easy to navigate, which makes a huge difference for our team. What really stands out is the traceability this tool provides. We can track everything we need without any hassle. This is now a tool we use every day in our operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Getting field users up to speed on order placement can be pretty challenging. It takes some time to train them properly and make sure they understand the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Field Materials helps us manage our material costs effectively. By using their Bill of Materials feature, we can input our job budgets and track them closely. When we order materials through the Bill of Materials, the pricing is readily available, making it easy to verify that the invoice matches the quoted price. I use FM daily, and it integrates smoothly with our accounting software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found anything about Field Materials that I don't like. If I have run across something that I would need/like, all I have had to do is ask for it and it has been submitted to the team to be implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Field Materials turned our procurement into a streamlined, transparent process. What used to be scattered across emails, phone calls, and spreadsheets is now centralized in one system that integrates easily with QuickBooks Desktop. Superintendents use AI-powered ordering in the mobile app, and office staff see requests instantly for verification, supplier confirmation, and invoice matching.

The platform gives us real-time visibility, structure, and accountability. Customer support has been solid, and ease of integration made adoption smooth. AI-driven order making adds efficiency and reduces risk, letting us plan ahead with confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest challenge is adoption in the field. Superintendents used to quick phone calls or texts need time to adjust to logging orders in the app. It’s a shift in habit, and getting everyone comfortable with the new workflow takes training and consistency. Once they adapt, the benefits are clear, but the transition period requires patience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Field Materials really easy to use and appreciate how the information is organized in a way that's simple to navigate, especially between projects. Unlike Procore, where you have to go through many views, Field Materials conveniently keeps everything together. The view is easy to use, and the customer support is fast and nice, which I also like. The mobile app is very useful, especially for those working on-site, as it allows quick access to request materials directly from the field, which makes ordering easier.

I wish to have a better report, like a detailed report. The approval flow could definitely be better. It could be improved in the ways you can change the type of user and what the user can do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Field Materials integrates seamlessly with Procore to eliminate the manual process of checking invoices against orders, which significantly reduces my workload and allows me more time to focus on other job responsibilities. The mobile app is fantastic—it's easy and quick for our site managers to submit orders, and from an office perspective, it streamlines order processing and converts it to an RFQ much faster than our previous system. I really appreciate the AI feature that cross-references price quotes with invoices, which is an incredible time saver. I also found the setup process straightforward, and the support team was exceptional in customizing the software to fit our workflow, enhancing the overall flexibility and effectiveness of the tool. With all these efficiencies and robust features, I see Field Materials as an invaluable asset in managing our procurement and invoice processing, which has led me to confidently recommend it to others.

I dislike the challenges in integrating Field Materials with other systems like Xero. This issue seems specific to our company since other systems might integrate more easily, but it's still a limitation for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how Field Materials simplifies the entire procurement workflow. Its clear and organized platform allows me to easily track and compare supplier pricing, send out requests, and monitor orders without the hassle of juggling emails and spreadsheets. This tool effectively keeps my entire team on the same page, reducing the typical friction points that can slow down procurement processes. Additionally, it aligns the field and office teams by showing order status and delivery updates, which is invaluable for maintaining cohesion. The simplicity of the platform makes it easy for both field and office teams to pick up quickly, removing a lot of the headaches associated with procurement tasks. Furthermore, the transition to Field Materials was made seamless by Charles, which I found crucial for getting started without any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would have liked a few more detailed analytic options in Field Materials. Additionally, it would be nice to pull quick summaries without needing to export anything. A bit more customization for notifications or project view would also be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Field Materials is an effective tool that has allowed us to successfully organize and manage our job material and equipment repair/maintenance parts and service purchases. With the ability to create orders using AI and apply packing slips and receipts to those orders, it is much easier for the office to make sure the correct materials/parts are ordered, delivered, invoiced, and then paid. And best of all, it integrates with our accounting software, so no double entry into accounting. It is effective and easy to use. We are well pleased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For the notification emails sent to vendors/subs, I would like to see the ability to send our own company branded emails or generated forms for purchase orders or subcontracts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I liked most was how Field Materials ties everything together — prefab, purchasing, inventory, deliveries — all in one place. It saves us time and cuts down on mistakes. Customer support has been one of the highlights. Field Materials listens, responds fast, and actually makes improvements based on our feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I liked least is that we had to adjust some of our old habits to fully use the platform. But the change has been worth it because it’s eliminated a lot of manual steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how Field Materials has simplified onboarding for new team members by providing an easy method for ordering materials. This feature significantly reduces the hardships associated with previous standard procedures. The software is incredibly helpful in facilitating these tasks for new employees, making their integration into our processes smoother. Additionally, I find the feature that memorizes previous pricing and item numbers highly valuable, as it enhances efficiency by saving time on re-entering frequent information. It is clear that Field Materials is an upgrade from using Excel, offering an improved user experience that is much easier to navigate once you understand its capabilities. The availability of an advisor like Charles to answer any questions within the software is also a major advantage, as it empowers my team to use the program effectively.

I think Field Materials could improve in separating the items used per project. It would also be beneficial if the system could better accommodate the different units of measure used by various team members within our setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
