# [PU-011] Stock Management
What is it?
Running out of parts mid-job costs you time and money. Stock Management lets you track your inventory of parts and materials so you always know what's in stock, what's on the van, and what needs reordering. No more guessing whether you have the right part — check your stock from anywhere.
How it Helps Your Business
- Field Techs: Check parts availability before heading to a job, and log what they use so stock levels stay accurate.
- Office Staff: Get low-stock alerts so you can reorder before running out, and see exactly what's on each van.
- Managers: Track material costs per job and reduce waste by having clear visibility into what's being used and where.
- Customers: Jobs get completed on the first visit more often because technicians arrive with the right parts.
