You are here: Home1 / Stock Right Now

We let you send any responsive order anywhere, send van stock replenishment orders to one or many suppliers to collect the next day. As Matt Harrison the CEO of Great Places Housing Group says ‘You can save an awful lot of time and an awful lot of money, an awful lot of everything so why wouldn’t you?

What we provide for PfH members

PROVIDE VISIBILITY:

We provide you with complete visibility of what is on your fleet of vans. We detail exactly what your operatives are carrying and the value of that stock at every second of every day. This is a feature that is often overlooked by many organisations, and those who think they have it, find that it is usually wildly inaccurate. Upon auditing the van against the ‘van list,’ it rarely matches more than 30% of the time.

GIVE CONTROL:

We give you the ability to take control of what is on your vans by detailing exactly what has been used, by whom, and on what job. Our system also provides reports that allow you to establish what is ‘normal’ versus what is ‘abnormal’ usage of stock parts. You can compare the two to establish whether there might be an inaccuracy in recording of too much or too little.

ALLOW IMPROVEMENT:

Our system provides significant improvement in managing your fleet of vans. We can turn your greatest liability (stock holding and stock reconciliation) into your greatest asset by providing you with the ability to significantly improve the chance of a genuine first-time, first-visit fix in the eyes of your customers. Our intelligent software collates and knits all of the usage data for every app user to advise you on ‘what should be on the vans’ and, more importantly, ‘in what quantities’ to get your first-time fix rate as high as 99.5% for most trades.

IMPROVE CUSTOMER SERVICE:

At the heart of what we do is our commitment to improving your service. We understand that waiting for a repair or planned maintenance can be frustrating, but it’s even worse when the repair or maintenance can’t be completed due to a lack of the right parts at the right time. A great repair and maintenance service requires convenient appointments within a narrow window of time and effective, long-lasting work.

Why do we do this for PfH members?

TO LOWER COSTS

Our goal is also to lower your costs. The most expensive part of a repairs service is often the cost of sending an operative to the job. Therefore, it makes sense to send them with all the necessary parts to complete the repair on the first visit. Our app does this perfectly, and it saves our customers over £568 per year per operative in fuel costs alone. Our customers’ operatives spend less time driving and searching for parts and more time fixing, which leads to significant savings in both effectiveness and efficiency.

TO IMPROVE MORALE

We also strive to improve your staff morale. Skilled repairs operatives take pride in their work, and they enjoy the satisfaction of repairing and maintaining things. However, when they are the second or third person to visit a property, the experience can be demoralising for both the operative and the customer. Our app empowers your operatives by providing them with visibility into what’s on their van and confidence that they have the correct parts to complete the repair on the first visit. As a result, staff morale increases in line with customer satisfaction, and everyone benefits from only having to wait for a repair once.
