Field Spare Parts Inventory

Lightweight spare parts and site inventory for on-site service engineers

Problem

Spare parts are scattered across hospitals, customer sites and a central store, and engineers manage them by memory and spreadsheets: which part is at which site, how many remain, who took it last. Enterprise inventory systems are too heavy and expensive for small teams and independent engineers.

Solution

A mobile-first inventory app for solo engineers and small teams: track parts separately per customer site and central store, fast scan or search check-in/out, low-stock alerts, tie parts usage to service tickets, and work offline with sync when back online.

Users

Field service engineers in medical or industrial equipment and their small teams; service providers with many customer sites and broad but low-volume parts

MVP

Two-level inventory (site and central store); fast check-in/out and search; low-stock alerts; link usage to service tickets; offline-first with sync

Revenue

Per-seat subscription ($9–19/engineer/mo) with small-team bundles; paid report export

Why now

Mobile offline sync and barcode scanning are mature, while enterprise systems remain costly, creating clear replacement demand for small service teams; vertical enough for a solo builder
