Construction · Field sales · Stock reservation
Turn your construction field reps into
ultra-reactive field sellers
Electrical equipment, construction tools, building consumables, professional gear. Your reps see stock in real time, reserve on-site with the customer, and never lose a sale again.
Every sale lost due to lack of visibility
is a sale handed to the competition.
GSE-Web for construction and field teams, in brief
GSE-Web is an online stock management software for construction companies and building-supply distributors: electrical equipment, tools, consumables. It suits SMEs, from a sole tradesperson to teams of several dozen users, with one or more depots. It replaces the shared spreadsheet, the paper stock-out log and the phone calls to the warehouse to find out what is available.
- Stock reservations: from a tablet or phone, the sales rep blocks quantities for a customer or a site, and the warehouse follows each request by status (to process, in progress, ready for collection, to be resupplied).
- Tracking by site: stock issues are linked to a project or a job site, so you know what left the depot and for which job.
- Several depots: each depot, branch or vehicle can be managed as a warehouse; the sales rep sees the stock held in the other warehouses, and transfers between warehouses are recorded.
- In the field: web browser, Android and iOS app, barcode and QR code scanning with a smartphone, a tablet or a handheld terminal; entries made without a network are synchronised when the connection returns.
- Threshold alerts: an email warns when an item falls below its threshold or runs out, so you can restock before a sales rep promises a missing product.
- Pricing: from €199 excl. tax per year for one user (PRO plan) and €500 excl. tax per year for a team of 5 (TEAM plan). Free online demo.

The construction sales rep starts his round
Antoine is a sales rep in a construction distribution company: electrical equipment, construction tools, building consumables, professional gear. Today, 5 customer visits are waiting. One objective: sign fast, no stock-outs.
« Before, every time a customer asked, I had to call the warehouse, wait for a callback, and sometimes the customer had already ordered elsewhere. Today I answer in 10 seconds. »
First visit: the customer wants an immediate answer
On the site, the customer asks: « Do you have 12 rotary hammers and fixings available today? »
Before GSE-Web:
- ✕ Call to the warehouse — if they pick up
- ✕ « I'll call you back » — the customer waits
- ✕ Meanwhile, the competitor answers faster
8:03 am — With GSE-Web: answer in 10 seconds
Antoine opens his interface. He sees in real time :
Available stock — ready for sale
Reserved stock — blocked by another rep
Stock being prepared — available soon
Awaiting supply — estimated date
He can answer immediately: « Yes, available, I'll reserve it for you now. » or « There are 8 left, I'll block them for you and order the missing 4. »
Reservation created live — the warehouse is instantly informed
From his tablet, Antoine creates a reservation in a few seconds :
Reservation #RES-2026-0847
Instant notification to the warehouse:

The warehouse prepares — the sales rep is continuously updated
The storekeeper prepares the products. The reservation updates in real time according to two possible scenarios :
Everything is available. Products ready, correct quantities. The customer can come and collect.
Insufficient stock. Supplier order required. The sales rep is informed immediately.
8:15 am — Antoine receives confirmation
An email arrives: products ready, reservation confirmed, availability validated. He can return to the customer without uncertainty.
Reservation lifecycle
Back on site :

Total control from the field
Antoine is on the road. From his phone, he checks at a glance the status of all his reservations :
Bâti-Pro SAS
12 rotary hammers + fixings
Electro-Sud
Cables + circuit breakers
Maçonnerie Dupont
Additional tools
Les Ormes Residence
Electrical equipment lot 2
He knows exactly what is sold, what is in progress, what is blocked. Zero surprise, zero oversight.
From a sales rep who hopes to a sales rep who controls
The real change: the sales rep no longer 'assumes' the stock exists. He sees it, reserves it and secures it in real time.
Before: a blind sales rep
- ✕
Constant warehouse calls
« Do you have stock? » — several times a day, with no certainty.
- ✕
Stock uncertainty
The rep promises without knowing. The customer is disappointed when the promise doesn't hold.
- ✕
Lost sales
By the time he called back, the customer had ordered elsewhere. Every hesitation costs a sale.
- ✕
Promises not kept
« It's available » → arrives at warehouse → stock-out. Credibility damaged.

Frequently asked questions — construction stock and field teams
Which software can manage the stock of a construction company or a building-supply distributor?
GSE-Web is an online stock management software that meets this need: it tracks equipment and consumables by depot and by job site, and lets sales reps reserve stock from the field. It runs in a web browser, with nothing to install, and as an Android and iOS app. It replaces the shared spreadsheet and the phone calls to the warehouse.
How do you know what left the depot, and for which job site?
In GSE-Web, every stock issue can be linked to a project or a job site. Tracking by site shows what was consumed on each job, and the data can be exported to Excel. A site kit can also be set up as a composed product, with one level of bill of materials.
Can a stock issue be recorded on site without a network?
Yes. GSE-Web can be used offline: entries made on a smartphone or tablet are stored on the device, then synchronised when the network returns. Items are scanned by barcode or QR code with a smartphone, a tablet or a handheld terminal.
How much does GSE-Web cost for a team of 5, sales reps and storekeepers included?
For 5 users, GSE-Web costs €500 excl. tax per year on the TEAM plan (or €50 excl. tax per month), for 2 sites. Each additional user costs €100 excl. tax per year, up to 10: a team of 8 comes to €800 excl. tax per year. Beyond 2 depots or 10 users, the ENTERPRISE plan costs €1,200 excl. tax per year for 10 users and unlimited sites.
Is there anything to install, and where is the data hosted?
No: GSE-Web opens in a web browser, with nothing to install, and is also available as an Android and iOS app. The data is hosted in France by OVH, with daily backups kept in France; the service is GDPR-compliant and each organisation has its own isolated space. Products can be imported from an Excel file, and a free online demo lets you explore the application.

what is genuinely available?
- →Can you reserve a product live with a customer?
- →Do you know the real-time status of each reservation?
- →Can you guarantee immediate availability?
