Can I see which plumbing parts are on each van?

Yes. Every van can be a location with its own stock, so you know before leaving the yard whether the part is on board.

Can materials used on a job go onto the invoice?

Yes. Materials issued to a CONTRACTOR job are deducted from stock and can be added to that job's quote and invoice lines.

Can I import my existing parts list?

Yes. Upload Excel or CSV, review a preview with duplicate SKUs flagged, then import.

What usually goes wrong

Return trips to the supplier

A tech arrives on site without the part that was 'definitely on the van'. Per-van stock fixes that.

Materials vanish into jobs

Parts leave the yard and never get billed. Issuing materials to a job records who took what, where.

Counting vans takes all Friday

Cycle count one van or shelf at a time from a phone, then apply the differences in one go.

How StockSimple handles it

Every van is a location

Track stock per van, yard and warehouse, and move it with approved transfers. Multi-Location plan.

Scan with any phone

Print barcode, QR and bin/shelf labels, then scan to book parts in or out. No handheld scanner to buy.

Job kits and materials

Save a standard kit of fittings, valves, pipe, traps and geyser parts and issue it to a job in one tap, with stock deducted automatically.

Low-stock emails

A daily email lists everything at or below its minimum so you reorder before it costs you a call-out.

CONTRACTOR jobs, quotes & invoices

Quote from live stock, dispatch crew, log site photos and send VAT invoices. Included from Starter.

Bin & shelf labels

Label every shelf and bin in the yard so new staff find parts first time.

Starter is $15/month with CONTRACTOR jobs, quotes and invoices. Business is $30/month and adds stocktakes and valuation reports. Multi-Location is $70/month for per-van stock and transfers. 14-day free trial, no card.

A normal day for a Plumbing business on StockSimple

7:00 — the tech loads the van from a saved job kit; stock moves from the yard to the van.
10:30 — on site, extra parts are scanned onto the job so they end up on the invoice.
14:00 — the low-stock email flags three items; a purchase order goes to the supplier.
16:30 — the delivery is scanned in line by line against the purchase order.
Month end — export the stock valuation for your accountant.
