Van stock
The van stock is the set of parts available in your assigned vehicle. The stock belongs to the vehicle, not to you personally — the app shows only the parts loaded in the vehicle you are currently assigned to. This page explains how to view it from the Technician App, check availability and report a shortage before it blocks a job.
The stock updates itself automatically: it decreases with every part used on a job and increases when the manager restocks your vehicle from central inventory.
Van stock: parts available in the vehicle, quantities and alert thresholds.

Section titled “Report a shortage”What it’s for: alert your manager that a part is missing or approaching the minimum threshold, in order to trigger a restock.
When to use it: as soon as a quantity drops below the threshold or falls to zero.
- Identify in your stock the part that is out or close to the threshold.
- Open Messages in the Technician App.
- Indicate the name of the part and the quantity you need, then send.
- The manager prepares the transfer from central inventory to your vehicle.
Expected result: your request is passed on to the manager, who restocks your vehicle on the next visit to the warehouse.
Stock cycle
Section titled “Stock cycle”Warehouse ──(replenishment)──▶ Vehicle van stock ──(part used)──▶ Service consumptionThe manager transfers parts from the warehouse to your vehicle. Each part fitted on a job is then automatically deducted from that vehicle’s stock and booked to service consumption — so the figures always match what is really in the van.
