Onetrace allows you to categorise materials into groups, helping you stay organised and work more efficiently. Grouping materials enables you to:

  • Quickly filter and locate specific material types.

  • Manage materials more effectively across multiple projects.

  • Generate detailed reports based on material categories for better insight and cost tracking.

  • Helps operatives to quickly find and choose materials in the mobile app when on site.
