Inventory Management

Always control over your materials.

The Inventory Management Power-Up gives you full control over your warehouses, vans and materials. You register exactly which items are in stock and where they are located. As soon as an item is consumed in a work order, it is automatically deducted from the correct warehouse.

You can create multiple warehouses, for example per branch or service van. You also easily set minimum and reorder levels. When an item falls below the desired level, OutSmart can automatically generate a task to order more. This prevents your mechanics from running out of parts on site and keeps your service reliable.

With the right tools on the job

Due to the connection with work orders and the OutSmart app, inventory management is fully integrated into your daily workflow. Employees simply indicate in the app when they use materials, and then the stock is updated immediately. This makes the system reliable and always current.

With Inventory Management you save time, prevent double administration and ensure that projects run smoothly. You always know which materials are available and where they are, so you can plan and execute more efficiently.

Practical example

An installation company with several service vans often had problems with missing parts. Since the introduction of Inventory Management, each van has its own digital warehouse. As soon as a mechanic uses material, it is automatically deducted. In addition, the warehouse manager automatically gets a task when the stock drops below the minimum. This prevents shortages and keeps projects on schedule.

Years of experience

We constantly had to create work orders manually with pen and paper. By providing a clear digital system with many options, along with an excellent helpdesk that assists with everything, even the smallest questions, Outsmart has helped us.

Thomas Loos, Display4all

We used to lose work orders now and then, which made tracking time a challenge. With the easy digital entry of work orders, it's much simpler for the technician to manage the administration. Having 100% accurate work orders has definitely cut our administrative time in half.

OutSmart Inventory Management ensures the right stock is in the right place before every job, and that every material used is captured accurately for invoicing.
