Bill the parts you actually used, not the parts you think you used.
Consumables drawn from bins are tracked automatically. Tie usage to jobs or customers, invoice on actuals, and see exactly where margin is going.
See exactly what was used, by part and by period.
The activity log records every change to every bin. Export it to CSV and invoice from what was actually used.
What shops lose track of.
Consumables disappear untracked
Fasteners, fittings, adhesives, abrasives — they are drawn from bins but rarely recorded. Jobs are quoted with a consumables allowance, but actual usage is never measured.
Margin leaks on every job
If consumables are under-estimated in the quote, margin shrinks. If they are over-estimated, you are not competitive. Without data, it is a guess either way.
Reordering is reactive
Someone notices a bin is empty and raises an order. By then the job that needed those parts is waiting. Rush orders cost more and disrupt the schedule.
Track what is used. Bill what is consumed.
Usage tracked per bin
Every bin records exactly how much was taken and when. The activity log and consumption reports show usage by part, by period and by location.
Invoice on actuals
The activity log shows when parts left each bin and how many. Export it to CSV and use it to invoice customers or cost jobs.
Reorder before it stops the job
Set minimums per bin. Low stock is flagged early. The activity log shows how fast each bin is used, which helps set the right reorder points so parts are there when the job starts.
