Warehouse Management

It is important for maintenance companies to keep their stock levels up-to-date. The service staff’s car inventories can be a handy remedy at a customer’s place, but invoicing the used parts is often forgotten about.

Valpas field service management has an electronic warehouse management system, specifically for maintenance companies. This helps keep track of stock, and even the staff’s car inventories will be held up-to-date. It is easy for employees to check the system to see if a colleague happens to be nearby and have the needed spare part or tool. The staff can easily log on completed activities and used materials directly form the field. Management and customers can see these in real-time. The warehouse view can be used to check stock balances, and parts can be invoiced accordingly and truthfully.

Minimum and maximum stock quantities can be set for all products. A well-functioning, electronic warehouse management system facilitates inventory stocktaking, too. When balances and other information are kept up to date, counting stock is quick and efficient.

Using a unified naming system for products and services is an integral part of efficient warehouse management. Industry-specific standard nomenclature serves as a good basis for naming parts – for example the Finnish RT 10-10968 system.
