Tool inventory
Garage inventory fails quietly: the second bottle of the same additive, the socket set bought twice, the brake fluid that was on the shelf all along. Nobody audits a garage, so nobody knows what is in one.
How BuildBay handles it
BuildBay’s inventory covers tools, parts, fluids, and consumables in one system. Items carry a location, and stocked items carry a low-stock threshold, so running out shows up before the job starts.
Install records connect inventory to vehicles: when a part goes on a car, the record shows where it went and when.
In detail
- Tools, parts, fluids, consumables
- One inventory holds all four, so checking stock does not mean standing in the garage in front of the shelf.
- Locations and thresholds
- Every item can carry a storage location, and stocked items a low-stock threshold that surfaces them before they run out.
- Install records
- When a part or fluid is used on a vehicle, the install record ties it into that vehicle’s history.
- Feeds tool readiness
- The tools you own here are exactly what tool readiness checks jobs against. Keep one honest and the other stays honest.
Who it is for
- Owners who have bought a tool they already owned.
- DIYers stocking fluids and consumables across several vehicles.
- Anyone who wants to check the shelf without standing in front of it.
