Inventory and Supply Management for Shampoo, Polish and Coating Kits
Inventory and supply management in Car Detailing Management System tracks shampoos, polishes, coating kits and microfibre against the jobs that consume them. A reorder alert arrives before Saturday morning starts with an empty bottle, and across a month you learn what an interior job genuinely uses up.
Stock that goes into a bay
Chemicals do not sit on the shelf. They leave with every car.
Recorded per job type
Consumables are logged against the kind of work, so a full detail and a quick rinse are never counted the same way.
Coating kits tracked
Opened kits and sealed ones are separate lines, because half a kit is not half a job.
Microfibre and pads
The things that vanish quietly are the ones most worth counting.
Before the shelf is bare
Nobody notices the last bottle until it is in somebody’s hand.
Alerts at your own level
A reorder level is set per item, and the alert comes when the count reaches it. You hear about a shortage before a customer does.
Purchase from the same screen
An order can be raised for the items flagged, without opening anything else.
Received against the order
What arrives is entered, so the figure on the shelf and the figure in the system stay together.
What consumption tells you later
Most studios guess at this cost, and the guess is usually low.
Use by job type
A month of records shows what a ceramic coating or an interior clean really eats through in chemicals.
Set against billing
Consumable use sits beside the billing for that job type on the dashboard.
Gaps become a question
A difference between jobs done and bottles gone is at least something you can now ask about.
Frequently asked questions
Do technicians have to enter every bottle they open?
No, use is recorded against the job type rather than measured drop by drop. What matters is that a full detail and a rinse are counted differently.
Will this stop us running out on a busy Saturday?
It warns you while the shelf still has something on it, which is as far as stock software can go. Someone still has to place the order.
Can supply management keep stock separately for two outlets?
Yes, each outlet holds its own stock and the owner sees both from one login. Moving material between outlets remains a decision your manager makes.
