Inventory Management Software

Good inventory management means never having to rush deliver parts. Once you hit your minimum levels, lead times are short enough to get new inventory in before it’s needed. You never hit zero on any part. You’re never out of stock. For the last KPI, you want parts to be in stock but not for a long time. It costs money to carry stock, and if you’re timing your orders correctly, parts arrive just a bit of time before you need to use them. You’re pushing the carrying costs back onto suppliers.

Implementing a new system can be daunting, because it’s often hard to know even where to start. But when a maintenance department wants to take control of its inventory, the first steps are clear. To be successful at inventory management, you must maintain up-to-date records of the parts that the maintenance department has in inventory and then make those records accessible to managers and technicians in real-time and from anywhere. A CMMS gives you these capabilities, and over time, all the benefits that can be leveraged from them.
