Truck Parts Tracking

Every plumbing shop loses 30–60 minutes of billable time per day to midday hardware-store runs. Tech rolls up to a job, finds out the truck is out of wax rings or 1/2” PEX fittings, drives 12 minutes to Home Depot, drives 12 minutes back, charges the customer for the time but loses the next job in the queue.

The parts-tracking feature eliminates that hardware-store loop.

How it works

1. Each truck has a virtual inventory — populated during installation from your existing parts list
2. When a tech installs a part on a job — system auto-deducts from the truck’s inventory
3. Threshold alerts fire when stock drops below your reorder level
4. Auto-reorder list gets emailed to the owner each morning
5. Re-stock at the shop — scan in the new parts, inventory updated

What this prevents

• The midday hardware-store run
• The “where did all our 1/2” copper go?” mystery
• The “we billed the customer but never charged for the part” gap
• The lost half-day when a tech can’t run a job because parts aren’t on the truck

What this enables

• Predictable per-truck parts costs (you see exactly what each truck consumes)
• Accurate job profitability (parts costs flow into the customer record)
• Better purchasing decisions (you see what actually gets used, not what you guess)
• A real shop inventory you can audit

Setup

We import your existing parts list (CSV or photo of the shelf) during your 30 hours of dedicated support. Tablet UI is built for techs to use in 5 seconds at end-of-job — pick the parts they installed, system handles the rest.
