Why Inventory Management Matters?
Spare parts are a major cost centre in maintenance. Mismanaged inventory leads to stock-outs, emergency purchases, idle technicians and inflated carrying costs. Proper parts management keeps maintenance agile and cost-effective.
Key Capabilities
- Complete Spare Parts Cataloguing: Create and maintain a parts inventory with descriptions, serial numbers, part numbers, images and supplier details.
- Minimum/Maximum/Reorder Level Setup: Define optimal stock levels and get automated alerts when stock is low.
- Multi-Location Warehouse Tracking: Manage parts across multiple plants, stores or warehouse locations. Transfer parts, issue to work orders and update stock in real time.
- Barcode / QR / RFID Scanning: Technicians can scan parts for quick issue, count, or record consumption.
- Purchase Order Integration: From low-stock alert to PO generation, vendor management, receipt of goods and update to inventory.
- Consumption Tracking & Analytics: See which parts are used most, cost trends, obsolete parts, and tailor your reorder strategy.
- Batch & Serial Number Tracking: For parts that need traceability (motors, control modules, expensive spares) — track serial numbers, warranty, expiry.
Benefits to Your Plant
Prevent Maintenance Delays
With the right parts on hand, work orders aren’t held up due to stockouts.
Data-Driven Decisions on Parts Spend
Understand consumption trends and negotiate better with vendors.
Lower Carrying Costs
Optimize inventory levels, reduce unused spare parts and free up capital.
Seamless Integration with Maintenance
When parts are tied to assets and work orders you get full context, real-time updates and fewer mistakes.
Real-Life Use Case
A technician receives a work order flagged as “requires part # X”. The inventory module shows that only one unit is left across all sites. A low-stock alert was already generated. The system auto-creates a PO, the part is received, issued to the work order, and inventory levels are updated — all captured with audit trail.
