Field service inventory management
Track Parts and Equipment On and Offsite
Real time visibility and control over parts, materials, tools, and consumables across every technician, warehouse, and job site.
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.

Key Features
Enable Field Technicians with Mobile Inventory Management
In the field, your technicians need the right parts and equipment to complete work orders efficiently. Whether the parts are already on the truck or back at the warehouse, the Field Squared Mobile Application provides complete mobile inventory management.
Your field workforce can:
- Increase efficiency by leveraging native GIS to locate nearby parts
- Scan barcodes to instantly check stock levels in real time
- Maintain serial numbers and lot records for each part
- Reduce waste and excess stock through proper inventory management
- View available parts across warehouses, trucks, or storage facilities
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.

Why It Matters
Fewer delays
When technicians know exactly what parts are available, they can complete work during the first visit instead of returning later.
Better control of costs
Understanding stock levels prevents over ordering, emergency purchasing, and hidden waste across the operation.
Greater accuracy on every job
Parts used in the field automatically connect to the work order, improving quotes, billing, and job costing.
Smoother workflows for field and office teams
Everyone works from the same information. Dispatch sees technician stock. Warehouse teams know what needs replenishing. Technicians see what is assigned to upcoming jobs.
Improved customer experience
Arriving prepared, fixing issues quickly, and avoiding unnecessary repeat visits builds trust.
What Is Field Service Inventory Management
Field service inventory management is the process of keeping track of every part, tool, consumable, and piece of equipment that technicians rely on out in the field. It ensures you always know what you have, where it is, who used it, and what needs to be restocked. Instead of relying on outdated spreadsheets or paper logs, everything updates in real time as work happens.
This gives field teams the confidence that they are fully prepared before they leave for the job, and it gives operations leaders a clear picture of stock levels across warehouses, vehicles, and job sites.
