Securing Supply Chains in Construction: Mitigating Asset Loss with Logistics Oversight
Explore strategies for preventing asset loss in construction through better logistics, inventory control, and site procedures — tailored for modern, high-speed operations.

Construction sites are dynamic environments — materials move fast, equipment is everywhere, and teams are constantly shifting. Without proper logistics oversight, assets can quickly go missing.
1. Centralise inventory control
Real-time dashboards let you track deliveries, usage, and storage across every job site. Know exactly what’s on hand — and what’s missing.
2. Standardise receiving protocols
Verifying deliveries on arrival helps catch discrepancies early. Use digital receipts and log every item upon arrival.
3. Secure storage zones
Set up controlled access to high-value materials and tools. Use locks, cameras, and location trackers to reduce theft or misplacement.
4. Run scheduled audits
Conduct physical counts regularly to catch inconsistencies before they become big problems.
5. Collaborate with logistics providers
Maintain strong communication with suppliers and delivery teams to ensure full visibility at every stage.
