Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for elevator companies evaluating specialized CRM, ERP, AMC, service, installation, technician, inventory, and management software.
What is MRN and why does it matter for elevator spare parts?
A material requisition note records exactly which part was used on which job, which is what makes it possible to reconcile stock levels, purchase orders, and service billing against actual consumption instead of estimates.
How should elevator companies decide reorder points for spare parts?
Reorder points work best when based on actual usage history by lift brand and model rather than a flat quantity, since fast-moving parts for common lift models deplete much faster than parts for rare or older installations.
Can spare parts inventory be tracked separately for each service van?
Yes — tracking stock by van as well as by central store gives an accurate picture of what a technician can use immediately versus what needs to be requisitioned from the warehouse first.
