Small parts, large catalogue, no time to look twice
Repair shops, installers and maintenance teams: nobody loses a pallet, everybody loses a box of the right fastener.
The catalogue grows one part at a time until the drawer labels stop matching, and finding something takes longer than fitting it. Meanwhile the parts that always run out are the cheap ones nobody thought to count.
A spreadsheet handles the list but not the place, and “second drawer, third shelf, near the window” is not a location you can filter.

01
Every part has an address
Aisle, column and height apply just as well to racking as to a wall of drawers, and the code is searchable.
-
02
Minimums on the parts that matter
Set a reorder level on the fasteners and consumables that always run out; the dashboard tells you before the job does.
-
03
What the last job consumed
Exits carry a reason, so the movement list answers what went out for a job and when.

04
Boxes mode keeps it short
No pallets, no SSCC — just how many of each part are in each place.
Where it stops It is not a jobs or work-order system: BasicInventory records that parts left and why, not who they were fitted for.
