How to Calculate Stockpile Volumes

Knowing how much inventory you have on hand at any given time is important for many reasons including aligning sales and operations, improving profitability, and becoming more efficient. Stockpile Reports offers various ways that you can calculate stockpile volumes in a few short steps.

With an iPhone:

  1. Download the SR Measure app
  2. Stand in front of the pile and frame the material on the iPhone screen
  3. Measure the pile by pressing “record” to begin the measurement, walking the perimeter of the pile
  4. Walk a full loop, the app will automatically calculate the stockpile volume in seconds.

With a drone service:

  1. Schedule your drone flights with Stockpile Reports
  2. Our pilots come out and fly your worksites on your schedule
  3. Identify which stockpiles you’d like measured
  4. Review and share the stockpile volume reports with your team
