Does ServiceM8 track inventory?
Short answerServiceM8's support site answers yes, with a condition: its inventory management works with a connected accounting package where stock levels are tracked [1]. For integrated items, stock adjustments are managed in that accounting package, not in the job app itself [2]. Check which accounting tools are supported first.
The explanation
The vendor's question and answer page says ServiceM8 can show stock levels because they are tracked in a connected accounting package [1]. The help center article on viewing stock levels says that if you use Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks Online, you manage stock for integrated items in your accounting package, and that tracking and stock adjustments for those items happen there [2].
In practice, the accounting software is the record of how many units you hold, and the job app displays it. If you use a different accounting tool, or none, check the vendor's pages for what is supported before assuming stock tracking will work.
Decide what you need from inventory. A trade that carries a few common parts on the truck may need only a checklist. A business with a warehouse, reorder points, and purchase orders needs real stock control. Write down which case is yours, then test it in a trial with real parts.
Steps
- Write down which parts you stock and how you reorder them.
- Check the vendor's help article on viewing stock levels for supported accounting tools [2].
- Connect a trial accounting file and enter a few real parts.
- Check that stock changes after a job reach the accounting record.
