What Is SiteSense?
SiteSense, by Intelliwave Technologies, is a cloud-based construction resource management platform that helps contractors and project owners coordinate materials, tools, and equipment across construction sites. It provides visibility into material deliveries, inventory quantities, storage locations, and equipment availability, helping teams understand which resources are ready for use and which are still pending.
The software also connects resource availability with workface planning, allowing construction teams to forecast material requirements and schedule installation activities based on actual site conditions. This helps planners identify potential shortages, arrange resources ahead of scheduled work, and track installation progress.
By connecting resource tracking with construction planning and field execution, SiteSense helps teams reduce time spent locating materials and equipment, limit avoidable installation delays, and maintain better control over project schedules and resource costs.
What Is SiteSense Best For?
The software is best known for its vendor portal for managing construction materials. Vendors and suppliers use it to upload packing lists and update shipment details. They can also attach photos, barcodes, or Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) information to materials. This fits organizations managing large industrial or Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects. It also helps teams that still track shipments through emailed packing lists and manual follow-ups, or those working with many vendors at the same time.
How Much Does SiteSense Cost?
SiteSense pricing is estimated to start at $500/month. This figure comes from comparing similar construction materials and inventory management solutions. What a specific organization pays will depend on factors like the number of users and projects, which modules are included, the level of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) integration and automation hardware required, and what implementation services are needed.
In addition to the base subscription costs, organizations should keep the following potential costs in mind based on industry benchmarks:
- Implementation: $5,000–$50,000 (one-time)
- Data Migration: $1,000–$10,000 (one-time)
- Training And Onboarding: $1,500–$10,000 (one-time)
- Customization And Configuration: $2,000–$20,000 (one-time)
- Mobile Devices And Rugged Tablets: $300–$1,500/device (one-time)
- Barcode Scanners And Label Printers: $200–$2,500/unit (one-time)
Disclaimer: Pricing references are based on publicly available third-party information and industry benchmarks. Actual costs may vary.

SiteSense Use Cases
Based on our analysis of user reviews and SiteSense’s current capabilities, we have identified key scenarios where this software is a good fit for construction projects:
Industrial Projects Coordinating Deliveries From Many Suppliers
Warehouse teams on industrial projects often find out what is arriving only when a truck reaches the site. Packing lists come by email, and shipment dates change over the phone. SiteSense lets vendors upload their own packing lists, change shipments, and attach photos or barcodes to materials. With that information in the system, project teams can see incoming deliveries ahead of time and plan receiving crews and storage space before the truck shows up.
Construction Planners Sequencing Installation Work Around Material Availability
Planning teams could use SiteSense to assign materials to installation work packages, based on what is in stock and when deliveries are expected. This matters on projects where crews get scheduled before the items they need have arrived. A planner can review a work package's requirements weeks in advance and confirm the materials will be there. That can mean less idle labor and fewer last minute changes to the work sequence.
Contractors Managing Owned And Rented Tools Across Multiple Sites
A contractor managing several active projects may struggle to track which tools are assigned to each site and whether they are owned or rented. SiteSense lets teams check tools out to projects or workers, log run time hours, and schedule inspections. The dashboards show which equipment is sitting idle. The company can then release assets it is not using and keep its maintenance records up to date.
Electrical Contractors Tracking Cable Drawn From Multiple Reels And Drums
SiteSense includes cable schedule tracking for projects where long runs are pulled from many reels and drums. Without tracing each run to its source, it could be hard to know whether enough cable is left to finish. By linking installed cable runs to specific reels or drums, electrical contractors can compare remaining quantities with installation requirements. If supplies fall short, they can identify the gap early enough to reorder cable before it delays installation.
Field Crews Operating At Remote Sites With Unreliable Connectivity
Crews at remote sites often work without a dependable network connection. Recording shipment receipts, material requests, and transfers on paper can lead to delays and transcription errors. SiteSense has an offline mode and syncs automatically in the background. Foremen and warehouse staff record each transaction on a mobile device, and the data uploads once a connection returns, giving office teams access to updated records.
Is SiteSense Right For You?
SiteSense may be a suitable fit if your construction projects face recurring delays because materials, tools, or equipment are difficult to track across multiple sites. It supports projects of different sizes and is used across six continents, making it useful for contractors managing resources across large or geographically dispersed projects.
The software protects data transfers with secure credentials and industry standard encryption. Its client list includes APTIM, Black & Veatch, and BMWC Constructors. Furthermore, Intelliwave, the company behind SiteSense, was named one of the 25 Innovators in Construction in 2024.
More construction companies are automating repetitive field tasks and data collection. SiteSense addresses this with automated location updates, event triggers, barcode scanning, and data imports. Integration adapters also pass information between SiteSense and outside systems, so staff have less data to enter by hand.
Intelliwave Technologies was acquired by Procore in 2024. Procore has begun integrating SiteSense capabilities into its platform with the aim of consolidating labor, equipment, and materials management into one solution. Interested customers can apply for its beta program.

SiteSense Features
Track And Trace
SiteSense records the current and previous location of each item using GPS data with coordinates attached. These locations appear on maps that can use drone or satellite imagery. RFID, Bluetooth, and IoT systems from other vendors can send automatic location updates when an item crosses into or out of a geofenced zone. Event triggers then advance progress steps according to logic that users define, and barcode scans update the status of individual items or packages.
Materials And Inventory Management
The platform follows materials from purchase order through receiving, storage, picking, and issuing. As materials are issued, it reduces inventory against current availability. Before a shipment arrives, vendors can upload packing lists, change the shipment, and attach photos or barcodes to materials. Field teams submit material requests from mobile devices. When a device is offline, the app holds the data and syncs it to the server after the connection returns, and every transaction receives a time stamped log entry.
Tools, Assets, And Equipment Management
Barcodes or RFID tags identify tools and equipment in the software, and teams can check items out to specific projects or workers. Field users can record engine run time hours and schedule inspections, which then appear in the list of upcoming tasks. Users log completed maintenance with the worker, date, and location. Dashboards report on equipment utilization and movement, while project reports list the assets assigned to each site.
Materials And Equipment Planning
Planners can view material availability and estimated delivery dates on SiteSense dashboards, which cover the full material pipeline. The software allocates materials to installation work packages based on current availability and delivery schedules, and users can review package requirements several weeks ahead. The scheduling tool plans critical activities with the latest data. Users can update work package progress either automatically or by hand.
