Inventory
Inventory lets you view the stock of items (parts, supplies, consumables), spot items that are low in stock, and request a replenishment before a part runs out in the field.
When to use it: whenever you prepare upcoming jobs, check the van stock loaded in your vehicles, or when a low-stock alert flags an item that needs to be reordered.
View stock
Section titled “View stock”Open Inventory to see all items: reference, quantity on hand, and storage location.
List of items in stock with quantities on hand and locations.
Understanding low stock
Section titled “Understanding low stock”An item becomes low in stock as soon as its quantity on hand drops below the minimum you have set for it. This is the signal that you should reorder it to avoid a shortage during upcoming jobs.
Understanding van stock
Section titled “Understanding van stock”Van stock groups the parts loaded by each technician in their vehicle. These parts are deducted automatically when the technician uses them in the field via the Technician App.
Van stock: parts loaded per technician, with quantities and thresholds.
