Inventory and parts management software
Keep parts, stock bins and an append-only transaction ledger together across locations. Staff explicitly record each stock movement while connected.

The challenge
Why parts records drift from the shelf
When parts are managed in spreadsheets, bin cards and paper dockets, teams may not have a trusted quantity, bin or transaction history when maintenance work starts.
Thresholds are not reviewed consistently
A minimum or maximum value is only useful when the team has a defined review and replenishment process. Confirm who checks below-minimum stock and where procurement begins.
Stock value is hard to reconcile
If receipts, issues and adjustments are not recorded consistently, quantity and value drift. Explicit transactions and AVCO history provide a record to review.
Manual counting and paper-based tracking
Bin cards, whiteboards and spreadsheets may describe different quantities. A connected stocktake or adjustment gives the system an explicit transaction rather than silently changing history.
Parts and work-order records are confused
A part cost line on a work order and a stock movement are separate records. The team needs to define when a user records each one and how the task reference is used.
One platform
Parts catalogue, stock bins and transaction history
Use MapTrack for the supported inventory record, then keep replenishment, procurement and reporting boundaries explicit.
Parts catalogue and stock bins
Record part details and stock bins by saved location, including on-hand quantity and configured minimum and maximum thresholds.
Explore parts catalogue and stock binsExplicit stock transactions
Record receive, issue, consume, return, transfer, adjust, dispose and stocktake actions while connected. Each action updates the ledger deliberately.
Explore explicit stock transactionsAVCO and append-only history
Retain quantity, unit-cost and average-cost valuation history without rewriting earlier stock transactions.
Explore AVCO and append-only historyTask references without hidden deduction
Reference a task from an inventory transaction and enter part cost lines on work orders. Completing a work order does not automatically deduct stock.

Parts catalogue and stock bins by location
Keep a parts catalogue and stock bins by saved location. Each bin can retain on-hand quantity, minimum and maximum thresholds, valuation information and its transaction history.
- Parts catalogue for spares and consumables
- Stock bins linked to saved locations
- On-hand quantity from recorded transactions
- Minimum and maximum thresholds
- QR identification for stock bins
Stock control
Every quantity change is a deliberate transaction
A connected receive, issue, consume, return, transfer, adjust, dispose or stocktake action changes the stock record and appends ledger history. Scanning identifies the relevant record; it does not complete the transaction.
- Receive and return stock
- Issue and consume stock
- Transfer between stock bins
- Adjust, dispose and stocktake
- Append-only transaction history
Maintenance boundary
Reference work without hiding the stock movement
An inventory transaction can reference a task, and a work order can retain entered part cost lines. The user still records the stock movement separately. Procurement, low-stock email, parts migration and extract requirements need separate confirmation.
- Task reference available on an inventory transaction
- Part cost line available on a work order
- No stock deduction from work-order completion alone
- Procurement workflow confirmed separately
- Reporting and migration scope confirmed separately
Field-ready
Record stock movements where the parts are handled
Use the MapTrack web app to identify the stock bin and record the required transaction. Stock setup and transactions need a connection. Existing external barcodes are scan-only after the exact workflow is confirmed.
Confirm current pricing, plan inclusions, user entitlements, trial and subscription terms directly with MapTrack before relying on them.

Get started
How teams set up inventory management in MapTrack
Setup depends on data quality, labels, workflows and team size. Start with one asset class or site, test one field workflow, then expand.
Build a controlled catalogue
Add a small set of parts and stock bins in the product. Parts import and export are not documented current capabilities, so confirm any larger migration before rollout.
Set bins and thresholds
Link each stock bin to a saved location, enter its opening quantity and set minimum and maximum thresholds. Define who reviews below-minimum items outside any unconfirmed automation.
Test each transaction type
Record controlled receive, issue, consume, return, transfer, adjust, dispose and stocktake actions. Reconcile quantity, AVCO and ledger history after each test.
Confirm work-order and procurement boundaries
Test task references and work-order cost lines without assuming automatic stock deduction. Confirm purchase-order, supplier, migration and reporting requirements before expanding.
Key features for inventory and parts management
Supported records for parts, bins, transactions and entered maintenance costs.
Control the record
Know which transaction changed the stock position
MapTrack keeps stock-bin quantity, valuation and append-only transaction history together. The team still owns replenishment and every connected stock action.
