Hey, I had a introductory meeting with Ply, and they gave me a small guide on how Ply works.
Ply could be good for you guys if you have a lot of trucks that are stocked with hardware/tools/parts and kits. If you're anything like us, our company has a bulk inventory in our shop space, and we take what we need for the day from the bulk inventory and load trucks with that, so because of that, Ply doesn't make a whole lot of sense for us.
Ply would be best for electrician companies or other companies that have trucks that are mobile workstations essentially
Hey Kyle-Rottman,
Sounds like our company operates similarly to yours in terms of loading trucks from a bulk inventory in our shop. Did you find another inventory management system that works better for you? We were using Lightspeed, but they **bleep** us around with their payment processing charges, so we need something new.
Hey Luke,
Unfortunately we haven't found a good solution that works for us, so we're sticking with our Excel spreadsheet that my Excel wizard boss created. Both Ply and Arka CAN possibly be built out to suit your needs, but that would require a lot of R&D and customization. Those services are mostly meant for trades like electricians or something, where they have an inventory of stuff inside each individual truck or van that they have.
Other than processing fees and such, has Lightspeed worked out for you pretty well? I personally haven't heard of this service before. Let me know, thank you!
