Stock control
Know what is on the van before you drive to the job
Track the materials you hold, what they cost, and where they are. Set a reorder level and GoSmoko tells you what is running low before a job stops for a fitting worth four dollars.
The problem
The expensive part of running out of stock is never the part. It is the hour of driving and the afternoon the customer waited.
What it does
How stock works in GoSmoko
Quantities and locations
Record what you hold and whether it is in the shed, on the van, or at a site.
Low-stock warnings
Set a reorder level per item and see everything below it in one list.
Real cost prices
Unit costs feed straight into job materials, so your margins are based on what you paid, not what you remember paying.
Linked to suppliers
Each item can carry a supplier and SKU, so reordering does not start with a search.
Step by step
What you actually do
- 1
Add your items
Name, SKU, unit cost, quantity on hand, and location.
- 2
Set reorder levels
Choose the point at which you want to be warned for each item.
- 3
Use it on jobs
Add materials to a job from your stock list so cost and billing stay consistent.
The details that matter
- Stock items are scoped to your business, with suppliers held separately so one supplier can serve many items.
- Cost prices are stored per unit, so quantities on jobs multiply out correctly.
- Materials on a job record their own price at the time, so a later cost change does not rewrite history.
Questions
Before you switch
Does stock decrease automatically when I use it on a job?
Not yet. Today stock levels are maintained by you and materials are recorded against the job. Automatic depletion is on the roadmap.
Can I track stock across more than one van?
Yes, using the location field on each item. Separate per-vehicle inventories are a future addition.
