Ply Labs - Try Early Access Features

Labs is where you can try new Ply features before they're fully released. Trying them early lets you get a head start and helps our team improve them based on real feedback.

Each Labs feature is opt-in: it stays off unless you turn it on, and you can turn it off again at any time.


Where to find it?

Go to Settings → Labs.


Available features

  • Cost Lens - See your margin on every job: material cost vs. revenue, so you can catch jobs that are quietly eating into your profit. Once enabled, find it under Jobs → Cost Lens.

  • Spend Lens - See where every dollar goes: a breakdown of spend by supplier and PO, so you can spot price creep on the materials you buy most. Once enabled, find it under Purchasing → Spend Lens.

  • Inventory Lens - Track what's consumed, written off, and on hand, with flags for stock-outs and shrinkage before they cost you a job. Once enabled, find it under Stock → Inventory Lens.

  • Unstructured Document Upload - Turn any supplier document (invoice, quote, etc.) into catalog updates automatically — no manual entry. Once enabled, find it as "Document Upload" on the Catalog > Bulk Upload/Update > Upload Document
