Property Management Inventory Tracking

[Ronald Bowser]

Hello BP,

We are currently trying to come up with an accurate, yet cost-effective method of tracking inventory we stock on our trucks.  This includes regular items needed in order to repair and maintain rental properties; light bulbs, batteries, Drano, smoke alarms, drywall, etc.  Basically anything that is needed on a regular basis, we want to have a ready supply on hand for our techs to use, but need a means of keeping track of what is used and how to bill it back to the appropriate property accordingly.

If anyone has any systems they use, or tips that may be useful, anything at all... it would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance BP!
