🧰 Inventory, Tools & Equipment
Truck stock, yard inventory, and tools walking off site are an unglamorous but reliable profit leak, and so is the second trip to the supply house. Tools here track material by van and job, reorder against minimum levels, pull pricing straight from distributor catalogues so purchase orders match the invoice, and keep a check-out record for expensive equipment. Equipment and asset platforms add utilisation, service intervals, and telematics for machines rather than trucks.
Before you buy in this category
- Barcode or QR scanning on a phone is the difference between an accurate count and an aspirational one.
- If purchasing is the pain, prioritise live distributor catalogue and pricing integration.
- Check it costs material to the job automatically, or inventory accuracy never reaches your margins.
- Tool check-out only works with a simple, enforced habit. Pick the lightest tool your crew will tolerate.
- For equipment, confirm hour meters and service reminders can come from the machine, not a spreadsheet.
