How Stocklyst helps
AI Import Engine
Spreadsheet exports and old stock lists map inconsistently — Upload your parts file, confirm AI mapping, and validate before import
Auto min/max calculation
Trucks run out of high-use parts between restocks — Research-based reorder points for van fast movers and warehouse consumables, reviewed weekly
Expiry tracking
Dated consumables and chemicals are missed — Zone-level expiry dates with automatic near-expiry monitoring for time-sensitive products
Zone-level tracking
Teams cannot locate parts fast across warehouse and vans — Precise bin, shelf, and van zones with required zone assignment for every quantity
Bundle management
Standard service and install kits are inconsistent — Build repeatable kits for routine jobs and monitor missing components
Variant management
Part variants for different system capacities are tracked separately — Group capacity and model variations under one parent part with independent SKU and quantity per variant
Related item links
Complementary install parts are not linked for coordinated ordering — Link complementary install parts so technicians see all related stock for a job
Offline mobile app
Field work happens where internet is unstable — Count, adjust, and review inventory offline on service vans, sync on reconnect
Activity logs
No per-user trail for part usage accountability — Full audit trail of every adjustment, transfer, and status change with user attribution
Barcode scanning
Wrong part pulled from van due to lookalike packaging — Built-in barcode scanner on mobile to verify picks and reduce wrong-part errors

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what hvac teams typically ask before setting up Stocklyst.
Can I track inventory on individual service vans?
Yes. Treat each service van as a branch with its own truck stock zone. The offline mobile app lets technicians update stock in the field with no connectivity, then sync when back at the shop.
How does Stocklyst help with seasonal demand changes?
Auto min/max calculations adapt to your actual usage patterns. Tune thresholds before seasonal peaks — heating season vs cooling season — so the right parts are stocked on every van.
Can I link parts usage to specific job tickets?
Use the Job Ticket ID custom field to associate material issues with service work. Activity logs track who used what and when for full accountability.
Does it support barcode scanning for parts verification?
Yes. The built-in barcode scanner on mobile supports EAN-13, UPC, EAN-8, Code 128, and Code 39 formats. Scan to verify picks and reduce wrong-part dispatches.
