What to do about it

Each of those costs has a cause you can fix.

Here is how TICS (Total Inventory Control System) addresses each one. It is inventory, purchasing and receiving in one place, for operations teams who have outgrown spreadsheets.

Stock that goes missing

One stock list across every location, with scheduled cycle counts. Each correction records who made it and why, so a gap is found and explained instead of discovered at year end.

Time spent hunting for parts

Every item has one record: where it is, how many, what's on order and what came in. Search it from anywhere instead of walking the racks.

Rush orders

Minimums on every item, and a Next up list that flags what's running low and has nothing on order, before it runs out.

Buying things twice

Requests, quotes and purchase orders sit against the same item, so anyone can see it's already been ordered, received, or is sitting in the other building.
