I just ran into the same issue with tracking parts between trucks and the shop.
I just downloaded PLY, it’s available right inside Jobber’s app marketplace. I am using this because in my electrical business It helps track inventory per technician, per truck, or per job.
You can add part numbers, link them to jobs, and it’ll even notify you when stock is low or when it’s time to reorder. my guys love to have a cushion and then we do one order instead of the typical head to the supply house kill 2 hours before showing up on site.
Might be worth checking out before switching platforms entirely. I’m testing it this week, but on paper, it looks like exactly what you’re describing.
EnergizeUs Would love to hear how PLY works out for you!
We're in house cleaning, so our challenge is a bit different - we need to track which teams are taking supplies from our stock room. Right now we have our operations manager use a ChatGPT setup where she voice inputs what supplies each team takes (written on a sign-out sheet), our current stock levels, and when we restock. It outputs an itemized list plus an Excel sheet so we can cross-check that team usage + current stock + starting inventory all add up correctly.
Planning to connect that to Google Sheets and use Gemini to help track usage patterns and know when to reorder, plus catch any discrepancies before they become bigger issues.
Curious if PLY might work for supply tracking across teams too, or if it's more geared toward the appliance/parts inventory side of things.
martellapp Jacob - hope you find a good solution that keeps you on Jobber!
WIll do !
I love how you are planning to apply it to your cleaning business, very interesting. I feel like people just get into the work work work mode, so the fact you thinking ahead is very impressive brother.
