Transport and delivery: Inventory software for archive relocation companies
Inventory software for archive relocation companies that tracks archive boxes, barcode labels and roll cages, so a packing crew never runs out of boxes or labels halfway through an archive.
Where stock drifts for archive relocation companies.
Archive relocation companies have materials that quietly disappear. Archive boxes go out in stacks and after the job some turn out to have stayed with the client, flattened in a cupboard. Barcode labels with a running sequence get split across several jobs, creating duplicate references. Roll cages sit at a client's premises for weeks after a move because nobody booked them back. The warehouse sees a pile of boxes on the rack but does not know they are already promised to tomorrow's job. The result is a crew on site with too few boxes, or a rush order from the supplier that turns out to have been unnecessary.

Record materials by type
Each type of material gets its own line: archive boxes by size, lids, label rolls by sequence, roll cages individually with their own number. Roll cages and crates are tracked as individual assets, boxes and labels as consumables. For every item it is clear whether it should come back.
Reserve per job
When scheduling a phase, the planner reserves the boxes, labels and roll cages needed. The warehouse sees which part of the stock is still free. A label sequence is tied to one job, so no two clients get the same references. If something is unavailable, the planner sees it before moving day.
Book back after the job
After each phase the crew leader reports what was used, what is coming back and what stays with the client. Roll cages still on site remain visible as outstanding, with the client named. The warehouse processes the returns and stock again shows what is genuinely available.
Alongside your purchasing and suppliers.
Materials are currently tracked on a list in the warehouse, or not at all. Boxes and labels are bought from regular suppliers. The inventory keeps the count itself and can flag when a type drops below an agreed minimum; the order stays with purchasing. Scheduling supplies the reservations, the job cards supply actual usage. The warehouse owns the count and decides when a recount is needed.
Selling boxes or lending them
Some archive movers sell the archive boxes to the client, others take them back after re-shelving. Selling keeps the admin simple but means every box is invoiced. Lending or taking them back means you have to track how many return. The inventory needs to know which arrangement applies to each job.
Label sequence per client or running
A running sequence is easy to order but makes it hard to keep references apart per client. A dedicated sequence per client avoids confusion, especially if the client later takes storage as well. It means a bit more admin, but it prevents duplicate references and makes reordering loose labels for one client simpler.
Roll cages by number or by count
Counting is quick, but you do not know which cage is where. Numbering each cage lets you see which ones are still with which client and for how long. For expensive assets that often get left behind, tracking them individually pays off, especially when several moves run in the same week.

Read the storyWhich stock we record.
Boxes, roll cages, labels and other materials are held in stock; you reserve what each phase needs, label sequences belong to a job and the crew leader reports back what is left over. We enter the opening stock together. An ordinary move is worked through in advance, and a job where roll cages stay at the client's site afterwards. An alert at low stock, a list of assets that have been out at clients for a long time and usage per job for final costing come later.

Explore pricing and optionsCan we see which roll cages are still at clients?
Yes, if they have their own number. For each cage the warehouse sees which job and client it belongs to and since when it has been there. That makes it easier to collect them on a later run in the same area.
What if a crew on site needs extra boxes?
The crew leader reports the extra usage through the job card. If a second crew or vehicle is still due, the warehouse sees straight away that boxes need to go along. Afterwards the stock adds up because usage is booked against the right job.
Does the system order new boxes by itself?
No. It flags when a type falls below the minimum you agreed. Purchasing decides whether and when to order, because supplier prices and lead times also play a part. The system supplies the information; a person places the order.
Can we invoice boxes the client keeps straight away?
The inventory records which boxes stay with the client and passes that on as a basis for invoicing. Whether they are actually invoiced depends on what the quote says. When the invoice is drawn up, those two sit side by side.
