Inventory

Know what is available and which work needs it.

Stock has an operational purpose: a repair, a planned service or a job waiting for materials. Lucendus connects items, stockrooms and movements to the work that consumes them, helping stores and service teams coordinate availability and maintain a usable transaction history.

Why it matters

Where disconnected records slow the work.

On-hand stock is not always available stock

Materials may already be committed to other work. A balance alone does not explain what can be issued next.

Movement records lag behind the stores

Receipts, returns and transfers need to be recorded consistently if teams are to trust stockroom quantities.

Consumption loses its job context

Parts issued without a work reference are harder to reconcile with repair history and operational costs.

What you can do

Follow stock from receipt to the work it supports.

Give stores, maintenance and procurement a connected record of items, commitments and movements.

Items and stockrooms in context

Maintain item records, units and stockroom locations. Review quantities and thresholds in the places where materials are actually held.

A recorded movement history

Capture receipts, issues, returns and transfers with their operational references. Retain transaction history so a changed quantity can be investigated.

Reservations connected to work

Reserve stock for work and track the relationship between commitment and issue. Help coordinators distinguish materials already allocated from stock available for other jobs.

Counts and replenishment follow-up

Use stock counts, low-stock information and procurement workflows to review discrepancies and replenishment needs. Keep the decision tied to the item and stockroom involved.

Example workflow

Two repair jobs need the same spare.

The coordinator checks stock and existing reservations before assigning the available part.

Stores records the issue against the chosen work. The second job's requirement remains visible for follow-up, so the team can decide whether to transfer stock or arrange replenishment.

The completed repair carries its parts consumption, while the stores record retains the movement. Maintenance and stores can examine the same transaction from their own perspective.

Plan your rollout

Start with stock your team can verify.

Agree opening quantities, units, stockroom responsibilities and the records needed for each movement. Confirm lot, serial, quality and procurement workflows for your item types during rollout. Mobile offline scanning and specialist sector traceability should be scoped separately from the core stores workflow.

Getting started

Start with a workflow your team knows.

01

Choose a stockroom and item group

Start with frequently used maintenance spares or consumables.

02

Establish a trusted opening position

Reconcile quantities and units, then agree issue, return and reservation practices.

03

Review movements with the team

Check stock discrepancies, job consumption and replenishment decisions before extending coverage.
