# Introduction to InventoryHQ: Contractor Platform Overview
> Discover what InventoryHQ is, who it's built for, and how its connected warehouse, office, and field modules solve real contractor problems.
InventoryHQ is a contractor inventory management platform built specifically for roofing contractors and trades teams that warehouse materials. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, whiteboards, and disconnected apps, you get a single platform that connects your warehouse operations, office workflows, and field activity — so your whole team is always working from the same accurate data.
## Who InventoryHQ is for
InventoryHQ is designed for roofing contractors and trades businesses that need to track materials across one or more locations, assign costs to specific jobs, and keep field crews supplied and accountable. If your business warehouses materials, manages equipment, or runs service trucks, InventoryHQ was built with your workflows in mind.
## Three connected environments
InventoryHQ works across every part of your operation. Changes made in one environment are immediately reflected in the others, giving every member of your team a live, accurate picture at all times.
* **Warehouse** — Manage stock levels, receive incoming materials, set reorder alerts, and track inventory across multiple physical locations from a central dashboard.
* **Office** — Run reports, manage job costs, configure user permissions, review purchase history, and integrate with your CRM — all without leaving your browser.
* **Field** — Your crews use the InventoryHQ mobile app (iOS and Android) to log material usage on the job site, check what's in stock, and flag items that need reordering.
## Core modules
Each module of InventoryHQ is purpose-built for a specific part of your business. They work independently, but they're most powerful when used together.
Track materials by location, set reorder thresholds, and maintain an accurate count of everything you warehouse.
Tie material pulls directly to jobs so you always know what each project actually costs — in real time.
Log every tool and piece of heavy equipment, track its location, and maintain a complete asset history.
Give each service truck its own inventory profile so field crews can see what's on board and managers can restock proactively.
## Key platform features
Beyond the core modules, InventoryHQ includes a set of capabilities that tie everything together:
* **Multi-location tracking** — Manage inventory across unlimited warehouse locations on the Custom plan.
* **Reorder alerts** — Get notified automatically when stock drops below the threshold you set.
* **User permissions** — Control exactly what each team member can see and do.
* **CRM integrations** — Connect InventoryHQ to the tools your office already uses.
* **Reporting** — Pull job cost reports, inventory valuations, and usage history whenever you need them.
