Get control of inventory
Managing your inventory and knowing what to stock–and when and how much–shouldn’t be a guessing game.
Without an effective way to keep an accurate record, it’s nearly impossible to determine the exact value of your spare parts inventory. By automating and centralising inventory management functions with e-automate cloud-based field service management software, service organisations can save thousands of dollars in lost or wasted parts and materials.
