Inventory
Tool and inventory tracking across shops, yards, and trucks
The pipe threader is not missing; it is on the wrong truck. CrewCommand tracks inventory items by location (shop, yard, warehouse, vehicle), shows field crews what is on their assigned truck, and routes transfer requests through admin with email alerts.
Stop playing phone tag about what is on Van 4
Trade inventory is not warehouse pallets; it is fittings in a van, a jetter at the shop, and a camera reel that moved to a jobsite trailer. Spreadsheets go stale the day after someone counts stock.
Admins set up items and locations. Field crews see truck inventory from field mode and can request transfers between places. New requests can email the office so nothing sits in a notebook.
This is operational stock visibility, not a full parts department or accounting system. It pairs with fleet records so you know which vehicle carried which gear last.
Real shop scenario
Need the drain camera on Truck 7 by tomorrow
A sewer crew leader realizes the inspection camera is at the shop, but their van leaves at 6 AM from a different yard. Usually that means texts to the office manager and a lost hour in the morning.
The tech submits a transfer request from field mode. Admin gets an email, approves the move, and stock locations update. No one drives to the shop on guesswork.
