INVENTAR at the Worksite

No matter how many field locations you have and how many employees in your field service company are handling assets and inventory, all equipment, parts and materials deliveries and usage are recorded in real time, as they happen. Therefore, you always have accurate inventory counts, equipment and tools locations and transactions records.

You can add any extra data to each record. This data can include job number, project, client, notes, and anything else you need to keep track of for your field operations. You can define what data should be collected in the field - and this data are recorded in the mobile forms and are available to you via reports.

Updates done in the INVENTAR mobile app are submitted to a back end cloud software in real time. All team members have live access to assets and inventory data, in the field and in the office.

Tools and equipment are valuable assets - make sure you always know where they are and how they are used.

INVENTAR Inventory software helps you create an accountability system for the tools and equipment that you use for the field service jobs. You will always know where the equipment is, what work order it is used for, who checked out the tool or equipment, and keep tabs on the tools which were not returned on time.

Using a smartphone and the INVENTAR mobile app field service technicians can check tools in and out of the warehouse, track equipment location and usage by scanning a QR code label. They can record any extra data: work order number, expected return date, asset conditions upon return. They can use a mobile app to take photos and attach to the equipment record for the visual documentation.

You can define what data should be collected via the INVENTAR cloud software web dashboard, and field employees or warehouse managers fill out this info on the smartphones.

Field Inventory Management Automation with INVENTAR NFC Or BLE Tags

If you want to further automate field inventory management process, you can use INVENTAR NFC or BLE tags for faster processing of the high volume transactions. Unlike QR code or barcode tags, INVENTAR NFC tags do not require you to focus smartphone camera for each scan.

INVENTAR NFC tags can be scanned fast, just by touching each asset or inventory item with a smartphone. No direct line of sight is required - an INVENTAR NFC tag can be fitted permanently to item if required.

INVENTAR BLE tags further automate field inventory and assets management. With the INVENTAR BLE beacon tags you do not need to scan each item, or even come close to it. A field employee can add all nearby assets to the batch with one click in the mobile app. Or you can opt for IoT asset tracking system, which is using Bluetooth IoT gateways for assets and inventory scanning and does not rely on the field employees.

Low Inventory Alerts for Warehouse and Field Service Vehicles

Make sure you have materials and parts in stock for the upcoming field service jobs, and your technicians have what they need in the service trucks to complete the scheduled work orders.

In INVENTAR software you can set min and max inventory levels, globally or by location. A location can be a technician service truck, a job site or a warehouse.

Field inventory software will automatically send a low inventory alert to the person responsible for each location. An alert includes a list of items to order, with the order link and quantity. Use INVENTAR Inventory software reports to forecast what you will need, and make sure that you always have an adequate inventory stock - not too high and not too low - in each field and warehouse location.

Use Mobile Forms for all Field Service Paperwork

Field service technicians can document equipment installation and service, materials and parts usage for each work order on site using the INVENTAR smartphone app and mobile forms.

Digitize your field service paperwork, and make sure that all documentation is done correctly, is securely preserved and is accessible on demand from anywhere. In INVENTAR Inventory software you can create custom mobile forms for all types of field service paperwork via the web dashboard.

Field technicians will be able to pull out the form on the smartphone, fill it out and submit to the cloud software in real time. Optionally, you can pre-fill a part of the form online, and push it to the mobile devices for completion on site.

Admin software users have instant access to the completed forms via the INVENTAR Inventory software web dashboard.

Field service technicians can instantly access equipment specs, as well as parts and materials stock in all locations with one scan.

Field service technicians can scan an INVENTAR NFC, BLE, QR code or Barcode label on the equipment, inventory or parts with a smartphone to get an instant access to all the data they need to effectively do their job.

The data on the equipment can include specs, images, drawings, pdf documents and instructions, as well as past service and maintenance history. The data on the materials and parts include specs and stock level in all field and warehouse locations. A technician can easily find the closest location where required parts for the field service work order are available.
