Enhance stockroom workflow
Even the best inventory software and workflows can be undermined by poor warehouse organization. That’s why we’ve designed our inventory management feature around the daily workflows of storage locations—from arrival and check-in of new parts, to building picking lists and technician collection. With the mobile Stockroom App, inventory managers have a comprehensive solution to manage the flow of parts through their business, without lugging a laptop or checklist around.
Manage your storage locations
No matter how your business handles parts and inventory management, you can set up Commusoft up to reflect that. You can create and manage multiple inventory locations, whether it’s a small stockroom, a warehouse, or an engineer’s van. Each location will show you real-time inventory levels and how many parts are available, reserved against jobs, or scheduled to be returned. With this data, your office staff can oversee inventory levels and technicians can make more informed decisions when requesting parts.
Reduce excess inventory
Stockpiling is a symptom of inefficient inventory management and can put a significant burden on your business’s resources and cash flow. Instead of utilizing existing inventory, staff often raise new purchase orders with vendors when they need parts. With Commusoft’s inventory system, you know what’s in stock whenever parts are requested, ensuring technicians use available parts first.
Create automatic reorder lists
Keeping important parts in stock and readily available can ensure your business stays responsive, especially for parts that you use regularly. By creating reorder lists for each storage location, you can customize exactly which parts are kept in stock—and to what quantity. When available stock for a specific part reaches the minimum level, a purchase order is automatically raised to order more. With this reordering functionality, you’re less likely to run out of key parts and inventory when you need them most.

Streamline stock returns
Poor inventory management drains money out of your business through unreturned, damaged, and lost inventory. When parts go unused it’s easy to forget to return them to the vendor. Instead, they end up in the corner of the stockroom or left rattling around in a van, many ending up misplaced or broken. With effective inventory management, unused parts can easily be tracked, marked for return, and included in your stockroom’s workflow—giving your team the tools to reduce inventory wastage.
Improve customer service
By combining job management software and inventory management in one system, you’re able to offer your customers a better overall service. You’ll automatically receive a notification if a vendor delivery hasn’t arrived within a set time frame before a scheduled work order. This allows you to let your customer know in advance, so you don’t disappoint on the day. Additionally, when booking in jobs, you can quickly check whether the parts are in stock and assign them for that customer’s work.
A dedicated stockroom app
To enhance your business’s stockroom workflow, the inventory manager can utilize the dedicated Commusoft Stockroom app, available for both iOS and Android. This offers a compact and convenient way of seeing what is due in and due out, checking-in arrived parts, and building picking lists to prepare for technician collection. With the built-in barcode scanner, you can simply scan an item’s barcode and quickly mark it as available in the system.
