Inventory
Repair shop inventory tracking
tied to the job
Know what is on the shelf, what is on the truck in the bay, and what to reorder — with barcodes, purchase orders, and parts margin in one shop system.
Spreadsheets lie after the first rush. WrenchPilot keeps inventory next to repair orders so diesel and auto shops stop guessing at month-end.
Summary
Repair shop inventory tracking should connect shelf quantity to the repair order, support barcode scanning, and feed purchase orders when stock runs low. WrenchPilot tracks inventory parts on jobs, restocks through POs, and carries cost into margin and invoicing — so inventory is not a second app your writers ignore.

- Pull parts onto repair orders and see margin before close-out.
- Scan barcodes instead of typing part numbers under pressure.
