Know what’s in every van.

Stop losing time to missing parts and fittings. partSmart gives engineers and the office a live view of van stock, job materials and purchase orders, so low stock is spotted and reordered before it can hold up a job. Know what you have. Order what you need. Keep every job moving.

Why it pays

Six ways it pays for itself.

None of this is clever. It’s the ordinary cost of not knowing what’s in the van, taken out of the day.

Fewer runs to the merchant

Every van and warehouse part is counted and every part has a minimum, so you order before you run out — no more mid-job trips to the suppliers.

Skip the trade counter

Purchase orders reach the merchant as PDFs. They pick and pack; you collect. No queueing and waiting while they get your order together.

No argument about what was ordered

Every order gets a clear, numbered PO showing exactly what was requested. When the delivery arrives, check it against the original order — no guesswork, no relying on memory.

See what colleagues’ vans have

Stock is tracked for each van. If you don’t have the part, you can check whether a colleague does — if they’re closer, that’s another trip to the supplier saved.

Bill for every part you fit

Materials are recorded for each job, so when it comes time to invoice, everything is billed for and nothing gets forgotten and given away.

Loss prevention through stock reports

Pull stock reports that show what each location should hold; intermittent stock takes show where stock has gone unaccounted for.

Stock control

Three numbers per part.

Stock fails when nobody knows what “low” means. partSmart keeps it simple with three numbers on every part, and works everything else out from them.

Qty (Quantity)

Current stock level

The live stock level for that part in each van. Adjusted automatically as parts are used on a job or bought through a PO.

Min (Minimum)

Never drop below

The level that decides whether a part reads as Min, Low or Healthy. Set it once per van/location and forget.

Std (Standard)

Back up to

The level you want stock restored to after an order. Order to “fill to Std” and every part tops back up to this number.

Min Low Healthy
Jobs

Record what went into the job, on the job.

Parts get fitted and forgotten. partSmart records them where the work happens — by voice if hands are full — and knocks the stock off the van right there and then.

  • Pick the client and job, then add materials by voice or text.
  • Saving the job automatically deducts the parts from the van/location they came from.
  • Add the same part more than once and it tallies them instead of duplicating lines, keeping everything tidy.
  • Copy a job’s material list out in one tap for a quote or a re-order.
  • Timesheets by user and date, with hours totalled per job.
  • Generate and send the invoice straight off the job record.

Ordering

From low stock to a PO in the supplier’s inbox.

The dashboard knows and highlights what’s below minimum. Turn that into a purchase order, split it by different suppliers as needed, and send it as a proper PDF — without leaving the app.

  • Build an order from dashboard low-stock parts, or pick items yourself.
  • Assign a supplier per part; the order splits into one PO per merchant.
  • Each supplier gets a branded PDF purchase order by email.
  • Replies come back to the person who sent it, not a no-reply mailbox.
  • Click “Mark Fulfilled” and van stock levels update automatically with the new parts.
  • Track orders as Open, PO Issued or Closed.

Built for the van

Plant rooms don’t always have reception.

A stock app that needs four bars is a stock app nobody updates. partSmart takes the change the moment you make it and holds onto it until there’s signal to send it.

  • Changes are saved on the phone first, not sent and hoped for.
  • Queued work survives the app being closed or the phone dying.
  • Repeat changes to the same part collapse into one, so nothing doubles up.
  • Everything syncs on its own once you’re back in coverage.

Dashboard

Stock health at a glance, filtered by location, with replenishment orders one tap away.

Purchase orders

Per-supplier POs as PDFs, emailed in your company’s name and tracked to fulfilment.

Quotes & invoices

Draft, edit line items and tax, then send to the client and keep the PDF on file.

Timesheets

Hours by person, date and job, with totals for review at the end of the week.

Suppliers & clients

Merchant and customer records, with a default supplier per part to speed up ordering.

Roles & locations
