How This Automation Works
Inventory Level Reaches Reorder Point → Automated Reorder and Stock Update
Monitor Inventory Levels
The system continuously tracks parts quantities across all warehouses, storage facilities, and service vehicles in real-time, monitoring against predetermined minimum and maximum stock levels for each component type.
Detect Reorder Trigger
When a part's quantity falls below the reorder point, is consumed during a service call, or is projected to run low based on scheduled maintenance, the system automatically initiates the reorder process without manual intervention.
Generate Purchase Order
The system automatically creates a purchase order with optimal quantities based on economic order quantity calculations, supplier lead times, and current usage rates, then routes it to the preferred vendor with complete specifications.
Update Stakeholders
Relevant team members including warehouse managers, procurement staff, and field technicians receive automated notifications about stock status, incoming shipments, and any critical shortages requiring immediate attention.
Track and Reconcile
The system monitors shipment status, automatically updates inventory records upon receipt, reconciles delivered quantities against orders, and maintains complete audit trails for compliance and financial reporting purposes.
How It Works
Manual elevator parts inventory management leads to costly service delays, emergency orders at premium prices, and technician downtime. This automated inventory tracking system monitors stock levels in real-time across multiple warehouses and service vehicles, automatically updates quantities as parts are used, generates purchase orders when levels hit reorder points, and provides predictive analytics on parts consumption. By connecting your inventory database with procurement systems and field service management tools, you eliminate manual counting, prevent stockouts of critical components like door operators and control boards, and optimize carrying costs. The system tracks serial numbers, warranty information, and supplier lead times to ensure the right parts are available exactly when needed.
The Trigger
The system continuously monitors parts quantities across all locations and triggers actions when stock levels fall below predetermined thresholds, when parts are consumed during service calls, or when scheduled inventory audits are due.
The Action
The system automatically generates purchase orders to preferred suppliers, updates inventory databases, notifies warehouse managers and technicians of stock status, creates tracking records for audit compliance, and adjusts reorder points based on historical usage patterns and seasonal demand fluctuations.

Results You Can Expect
Eliminate Stockouts
Automated reorder triggers and predictive analytics ensure critical parts are always available when technicians need them, eliminating costly service delays and emergency expedited shipping charges.
Reduce Manual Counting
Real-time automated tracking eliminates the need for manual cycle counts and spreadsheet updates, freeing warehouse staff to focus on value-added activities like vendor management and process improvement.
Optimize Carrying Costs
Smart reorder points and demand forecasting prevent both overstock situations that tie up capital and understock scenarios that cause service disruptions, optimizing your total inventory investment.
Improve Cash Flow
By maintaining optimal stock levels based on actual consumption patterns rather than guesswork, you reduce excess inventory investment while ensuring parts availability, improving overall working capital efficiency.
Enhance Service Quality
With the right parts always available, technicians can complete repairs on the first visit, improving customer satisfaction, reducing callbacks, and maximizing billable service efficiency.
Ensure Compliance
Automated tracking creates complete audit trails for every part transaction, warranty claim, and regulatory requirement, ensuring instant compliance reporting and reducing audit preparation time.
