How do you manage parts inventory across multiple vans?

Deja Washington

Hi everyone!

So our team is growing — we just went from 4 vans to 8 vans this quarter (HVAC install and service) — and I am STRUGGLING to keep track of who has what parts. Right now I'm basically texting technicians "do you have any 3/4" couplings??" and it's... not sustainable lol.

What I want to know: Are you using FieldPulse's inventory features for van stock, or is that overkill? Do you track everything down to the fitting, or just the expensive stuff? And how do you handle restocking — do vans come back to the warehouse or do you do mobile restock days?

We're not huge but we're not tiny either and I feel like there's a smarter way to do this that I'm just not seeing. Any workflows that have worked for your team would be SO appreciated!!

Thanks so much!
