Field Service Inventory Planning, Management and Parts Tracking

Inventory governance is one of the biggest challenges faced by field service businesses today. To effectively manage work order demand, you need to know the who, what, where, when, and how of every job. The “what” focuses not only on what the job entails but also on what parts are required to complete it. When you schedule your field workers, do you have visibility into the stock levels of the parts they need? Can field workers transfer inventory in real time while on site?

From the warehouse to the truck to the job site, the Field Squared Field Service Automation Platform gives you full control over your inventory processes. You can manage and track every type of inventory across its entire lifecycle, knowing exactly where each item is, when it arrived, and who took possession. No more wondering which warehouse has the parts you need or if your technician’s truck has the proper components to complete a work order.

The Field Squared Mobile Application equips your field technicians with the tools they need to locate, transfer, and manage inventory in real time—even when offline.

All stock levels are updated automatically, so you never have to guess what is on hand. This cloud-based inventory management solution helps teams reduce excess stock, streamline inventory processes, and ensure parts are always available when and where they’re needed.

Track Inventory Movements in Real-Time

Knowing who has which parts can be time consuming without the right system. With Field Squared, you can track inventory movements across every location in real time.

For example, a technician installs rented parts at a customer site. Later, they discover the parts are not needed and transfer them back to the warehouse for reuse. Every transfer automatically creates an inventory record with a detailed audit trail including date, time, user, and location.

This level of visibility helps reduce loss, maintain compliance, and improve overall operational efficiency.

Schedule Jobs Knowing You Have the Parts On Hand

Scheduling and dispatching technicians involves more than selecting a date and time. You need confidence that your technician has the correct parts before arriving at the job.

With Field Squared, schedulers can monitor stock levels in real time to ensure all required materials are available before assigning a task. This approach helps you complete more work orders, minimize repeat visits, and deliver an enhanced customer experience, getting the job done right the first time.
