Stock Pilot

Stock Pilot watches your stock levels and reorders parts before a truck runs dry. It checks every truck and warehouse location against the reorder points the Inventory Coordinator set, and when a location drops to its point, Stock Pilot places the order with the preferred vendor on its own. Bigger orders wait in a queue for the coordinator to approve first. When the parts show up, the coordinator logs them against the order and the counts update on the spot. The reorder loop runs itself, and the coordinator works the exceptions instead of chasing every reorder by hand.

The promise

Trucks stay stocked and urgent jobs do not stall waiting on parts. The Inventory Coordinator stops chasing replenishment by hand and works a loop that runs itself, where the routine reorders place themselves and only the bigger orders need a look. Inventory counts stay close to what is actually on the trucks, so the tech who needs a part finds it there.

How it works

The path from input to value.

  1. 01

    Stock levels are watched

    Stock Pilot tracks stock across the truck and warehouse locations the coordinator set up, checking each one against its min and max reorder points.

  2. 02

    Reorders place themselves

    When a location hits its reorder point, Stock Pilot generates the order automatically and routes it to the preferred vendor with lead times and buffers applied.

  3. 03

    Big orders wait for a look

    Orders over the approval threshold the coordinator set are held in a queue for them to review before they go out.

  4. 04

    Receiving is logged

    When parts arrive, the coordinator logs the intake against the open order, and Stock Pilot updates the inventory counts.

  5. 05

    Counts stay accurate

    With reorders and receiving both running through the platform, the inventory levels reflect what is actually on the trucks.

The day before. The day after.

Same moments. Lived differently.

  • 8:00 AM

    Before

    The Inventory Coordinator checks truck stock levels by hand. Three trucks are below minimum on two common parts. They place the orders themselves.

    After

    The coordinator opens Stock Pilot. Three trucks dropped below their reorder point over the weekend, and the replenishment orders are already placed. They review the approval queue for the one order over threshold.

  • 11:00 AM

    Before

    A part arrives. No one updates the inventory record until the coordinator checks again on Thursday.

    After

    A part arrives. The coordinator logs the intake against the open order, and the inventory counts update.

  • 2:00 PM

    Before

    A tech calls from a job site, missing a part that was supposedly in stock. The record was never updated after last week's delivery.

    After

    The tech's truck shows stocked on the dashboard. The part is there. No call needed.

  • 4:30 PM

    Before

    The coordinator spends ninety minutes reconciling what was ordered, what arrived, and what is actually on the trucks.

    After

    Inventory reconciliation takes ten minutes. The record matches reality.

What it doesn’t do

The edges we drew on purpose.

A product that tries to do everything ends up doing nothing well. Here’s what we left out, and why we don’t feel bad about it.

  • ×Does not manage vendor relationships or negotiate pricing.
  • ×Does not handle returns, warranty claims, or defective-parts workflows.
  • ×Does not replace the FSM or ERP as the system of record for inventory.
  • ×Does not forecast future demand or optimize reorder points over time automatically.
