The tech taps the panel on the 3D model, so the form carries Hood and Roof instead of a typed note that nobody can filter later.
The platform
Every roll and every bottle, counted.
Most shops find out a roll is finished when a car is already on the lift. ShopHawk takes stock off from the usage saved on the appointment, and adds it when a purchase order is received, so the count moves with the work.

Usage
Stock leaves when the job is done.
Stock does not leave when somebody remembers to write it down. It leaves when the appointment is marked Completed or Job Done, from the usage saved on its Inventory Usage dialog, with the area of the car it went on. After that the usage cannot be edited, and a claim two years later still names the product that was used.

Every product is counted in its own unit. A coating in millilitres, a roll in feet, a towel by the piece.
Every row shows what is left of that exact product after this job, in its own unit, before the tech presses save.
Film that is cut and thrown carries its own column, which is the only way a shop learns what a bad cut really costs.
A tracked product asks for its Roll ID. Staff type that ID when they verify a delivery, and it becomes a tracked roll when the order is Received, so a fault can be traced back to one roll.
Low stock
A low roll shows up before it stops a car.
A Minimum Threshold is set per product, not per shop, because a roll of film and a bottle of coating do not run out the same way. When a product drops under it, it shows on the Low Stock Inventory card and on the dashboard’s Low Inventory Alert, where Order more opens a purchase order with its first supplier filled in.
Every product sits against its own minimum
The marker is that product’s Minimum Threshold, shown as a share of a full roll or bottle. The bar is what is left.XXPEL Ultimate Plus 60"Paint protection film, tracked by length38 ftIn stock

Purchase orders
An order that raises the shelf when it lands.
An order is not a note about buying film. Items are checked in per unit, so a part delivery is a real Partial state, and stock is added once, when the order is marked Received. An order can be Draft, Ordered, Partial, Received, Closed or Canceled. Watch one walk from Draft to Closed, and watch what each step does to the order and to the shelf.

Why the order and the shelf are one record
A purchase order is not a note about buying film. It is the entry that adds the stock when the order is marked Received, so the shelf count comes from what was checked in.
- The supplier is a list, not free text, so products and orders point at the same supplier
- Receiving is counted per unit, so a part delivery is a real state, not a guess
- Accepted and rejected quantities are counted apart, so a bad roll never becomes stock
- Each roll’s Roll ID is typed when it is verified, and it is what the usage form asks for later
Suppliers
The people you order from, on the same card.
Suppliers are a list, not free text typed into a field. Each product carries its suppliers, which is why Order more on a low-stock product already knows who to fill in.
