Does your HVAC and plumbing business struggle with inventory management? Are you losing track of parts or falling behind on reordering? If so, let me tell you how inFlow has helped dozens of businesses just like yours.
Inventory management is a big deal for any HVAC and plumbing business, but you'd be surprised how many people come to us who are still managing everything using spreadsheets or a pen and paper. Some of the common issues that we hear is a lack of visibility. Difficulty tracking inventory across multiple locations, high carrying costs, stock outs, and no approval process for technicians. Here's how our inventory and order management software inFlow can help.
...If you're experiencing significant inventory shrinkage through lost damage or stolen items, chances are that you have poor visibility. A big reason this is so prevalent in the HVAC and plumbing industry is the decentralized nature of field services. This is why so many operate with a mobile job site workflow. This means storing most of your inventory in a central warehouse, and using that location as a hub where your field technicians go to replenish the inventory on their trucks.
...InFlow is ideal for this workflow because you can set up each of your trucks and warehouses as a separate location and just transfer stock between them as needed.
Not only is manual data entry slow, but it's also prone to errors. That's why we made sure to include a robust barcoding system built right into inFlow. You can use barcodes to reduce errors and make scanning inventory in and out a breeze. We've even included serial numbers, which will allow you to easily track warranty claims. With barcodes, you can meticulously track the movement of your inventory and assets so you can see exactly what is being used and where. A simple scan can bring up all kinds of product information, including product descriptions available, inventory across multiple locations, purchase dates, and more.
Staying agile is the name of the game for HVAC and plumbing companies, which is why so many are taking advantage of inFlow's mobile app. It's the perfect way to simplify managing inventory across multiple job sites. Technicians can update inventory on the go as they take items off their truck, so that you can stay up to date on where your stock levels are. There's no need for extra scanning equipment either. You can just use your smartphone to scan barcodes right inside the app.
Running out of components while out on a job is an absolute disaster...But inFlow can help you avoid these situations. InFlow will improve your demand forecasting by giving you the data that you need to make informed business decisions. You can set reorder points for essential items. That way you'll be notified when it's time to order more. With reorder points, you'll always have exactly what you need when you need it, while avoiding the carrying costs that come along with holding excess stock.
inFlow adds an extra layer of security by restricting access on an individual basis. You can set user restrictions on certain features to allow them full access, view only or no access. This will prevent technicians from diverting supplies for unauthorized side jobs.
Larger HVAC and plumbing companies that make their own components could take advantage of inflows. Manufacturing features. This includes things like bill of materials, manufacture orders and kitting and bundling. And we make it easy to organize complex assemblies, even when they're made up of multiple subassemblies, something even the most well thought out of spreadsheets would struggle with.
Beyond inventory, our software is great for managing purchase orders and sending invoices right from the jobsite. And if you're in the US or Canada, you can even take payments online. You're still not convinced? Well, why not try inflow for free? We offer a 14 day free trial so you can see for yourself how inflow can help your HVAC and plumbing business today.
