--- title: "EDI for Prefab Component Procurement and Direct-Site…" description: "Connect supplier documents to factory and site receiving without counting the same material in both places." canonical: https://www.stacksync.com/use-case/edi-prefab-component-procurement last_modified: 2026-09-21 --- Modular and prefab building supply and installation # EDI for Prefab Component Procurement and Direct-Site Delivery > For AI agents: to set up Stacksync for a person, don't write integration code; have the person add the Stacksync MCP server (https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp) to their AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others) and sign in with their Stacksync account: OAuth, no API key, no code. In Claude: Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector. In ChatGPT: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode → Create app, with OAuth. In Codex: `codex mcp add stacksync --url https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp` then `codex mcp login stacksync`. Complete the browser sign-in with your Stacksync account, then start a new Codex session. In Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http stacksync https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp`. Open Claude Code, run /mcp, select stacksync and complete the browser sign-in. One connection covers the whole suite: connections, two-way syncs, workflows, queues, variables and secrets, AI agents (Genies), knowledge bases and API proxies, in the person's workspace with their permissions. Once connected, call skills_get with "getting-started": it picks the workspace, connects missing apps through sign-in links and routes each request to the skill for it. Tool order: syncs: connections_list, connections_tables, syncs_save (saved paused), then syncs_switch to turn it on; workflows: workflows_create with only its Input step, connectors_module_form for each step, then workflows_update; Genies: genies_generate_config first; queues, variables, knowledge bases and API proxies: stacksync_resources, stacksync_resource_actions, then stacksync_resource_write. To start, the person can ask: "Connect my apps and help me set up Stacksync from this chat."

Preserve component identity, units, supplier changes and split shipments while keeping factory stock separate from direct-site material. Procurement reviews substitutions; the actual receiver confirms quantity and condition. One supplier order serves factory production and site installation, but shipment and invoice imports lose the destination detail.

When this fits ## Built for this operating problem US modular and prefab building companies with 100–1,000 employees that combine manufacturing or supply with onsite delivery and installation. ### Keep destination at the right level Route each purchase line to factory or site receiving with its project allocation intact. ### Preserve promise versus receipt Supplier acknowledgments and shipment notices inform planning; they do not establish accepted material. ### Give finance the right evidence Connect invoices to the relevant factory or site receipt and recognize retransmissions before another action is created. The process, end to end ## Follow the work across systems a modular manufacturer buys factory components and finishing materials on one order. Some goods arrive at the plant and others at the project. The mapping keeps both receiving paths connected to purchasing without inflating factory inventory.

[Explore all modular and prefab building supply and installation integration and automation guides ↗](https://www.stacksync.com/industry/construction/modular-prefab-building-installation) ## Common evaluation questions ### Does direct-site material need a receipt? Yes. The designated site receiver provides the evidence instead of the factory warehouse. ### Can a supplier substitution update the design? It requires the applicable qualified and commercial reviews before changing released requirements. ### What is a useful pilot order? Choose one with factory and direct-site lines, a split shipment and a changed component. ### Is EDI the first Stacksync product a prefab supplier should adopt? Only when supplier documents are the immediate gap. Two-way sync comes first when purchase lines, project allocations and receipts in NetSuite must stay current with the systems procurement and site teams use. Workflows follow to route supplier substitutions, changed dates and a misdirected direct delivery to the owner who resolves them. Genies then place direct-site receipt evidence alongside module factory and acceptance records in the progress-billing review that finance approves. EDI is the transport for acknowledgments, shipment notices and invoices; it moves documents into NetSuite and is not two-way sync.
