Basic workflow

Check in at the warehouse

Open the app and check in at your home base. Get familiar with how supplies are organized and meet the Support team running the warehouse.

Watch the Requests queue

Open the Requests page. As Group Leaders submit material requests, they appear here with the item, quantity, and worksite. Claim the ones you'll handle.

Gather the order

Pull the requested items from the warehouse with the Support team's help. Mark the request as "In Progress" so others know it's being filled.

Deliver to the worksite

Use the Map to navigate to the site. Hand off the materials to the Group Leader and confirm you've brought the right items and quantities.

Mark the delivery complete

On the request, tap "Delivered." This logs the delivery and clears it from the active queue so leadership can see what's been fulfilled.

Return and restock at day's end

Bring unused materials and tools back to the warehouse. Flag anything that ran low on the Warehouse page so Support can restock for the next day.
