Metro Detroit
It is the last Friday of the quarter in Metro Detroit and your accountant wants a number for what is sitting on your shelves. You walk the back room with a clipboard and find two boxes of something you ordered last week, a case nobody has touched since spring, and an empty bin where your most used item should be.
With an inventory system in place, every item has a home, a count, a minimum and a reorder point. Stock comes in against a purchase order and goes out against a job, and the numbers in your software match the shelf because someone checks a few bins every week instead of the whole room once a year.
Now the quarter-end number takes minutes. You stop paying for the same thing twice, you stop running out halfway through a job, and the cash that used to gather dust in the back room stays in the bank.
Tap the ones that sound like your week.

Fix this in Metro DetroitWe do a baseline count with your team, clean up item names and flag anything that has not moved in months.
We set minimums, reorder points and who can pull and receive stock, matched to how you actually work.
We load items into your software, label the shelves and give your team a short routine for receiving and pulling stock.
Weekly cycle counts and a monthly review catch drift early, and we adjust par levels as the seasons change.
What we report every month: Inventory value on hand, Count accuracy from cycle counts, Dead and slow-moving stock, and Stockouts and emergency buys.
It is knowing what you have, where it is, what it is worth and when to buy more. For most shops that comes down to a clean item list, a home for every item and a routine that keeps the count right. Software helps, but the routine is what makes the numbers true.
The price depends on how many items you carry, how many places hold stock and how messy the starting point is. One stockroom with clean item names is a short project. Several locations, vehicles or walk-ins with years of duplicate item codes take longer, and ongoing monthly counts add a monthly fee.
A spreadsheet works when one person owns it and the list is short. Once several people pull stock, you need software that ties stock to purchase orders and jobs, like QuickBooks inventory, your field service platform or your POS. We set up the tool you already pay for before suggesting anything new.
A cycle count means counting a small group of items every week instead of the whole room once a year. High value and fast moving items get counted most often. It takes minutes, catches mistakes while they are small, and the dreaded year-end count mostly goes away.
A par level is how much you want on hand. A reorder point is the count that tells you to buy more, with enough cushion to cover your supplier's delivery time. Good par levels move with the season, so a Metro Detroit business carries different amounts in January than in July.
Cheap and familiar, but the numbers are wrong most of the year and the count eats a weekend.
A big help in a large operation, but it is a full salary, and someone still has to build the system they run.
We build the item list, labels and routine, set it up in the software you use, and run monthly counts and reports with your team.
