Multi-location inventory for field service teams

How warehouses, vans, and job sites stay in sync when your crew moves stock every day.

Field service teams rarely keep all their materials in one place. Parts leave the warehouse in the morning, sit in a van all day, and sometimes move again to a customer site before anyone updates a spreadsheet.

Antsfield treats locations as first-class records so stock reflects where work actually happens.

Start with the places you operate

Create a location for each warehouse, van, truck, or job site your team uses. Every item gets an on-hand quantity per location, not one store-wide number that hides shortages in the field.

When a technician checks stock before a call, they see what is available at that van or site — the same number the office sees on the web dashboard.

Move stock with a clear history

Transfers between locations update balances immediately and write to the movement ledger. That matters when you reconcile vans on Friday or audit a job that used more fittings than expected.

Approvals on supported plans let a manager sign off before materials leave a warehouse shelf, which reduces “where did those parts go?” conversations later.

Connect inventory to billing

The same catalog that powers stock levels can populate estimate and invoice lines. When a crew uses tracked parts on a job, billing does not start from a blank document in the office.

If you are evaluating Antsfield for a trades or service business, start with inventory locations and invoicing — then invite the crew to the iPhone app so updates happen on site.
