CAMS Inventory · For maintenance, facilities and infrastructure

Stock control, tied to the work that uses it.

CAMS Inventory is a centralised stock platform that links every item, spare part and tool to the maintenance that consumes it. One governed register, real-time movements, demand-driven replenishment, and consumption costed straight back to the asset.

Why CAMS Inventory

Inventory is only useful next to the work

A standalone stock system tells you what is on the shelf. CAMS Inventory tells you what the maintenance plan will need, what each job consumed, and what to reorder now.

One governed register

Every item, spare, consumable and tool in one queryable record across all sites, stores and vehicles.

Tied to the work

Issue straight to work orders. Consumption and cost are allocated back to the asset that used it.

Replenished by demand

Reorder thresholds and forecast demand raise low-stock alerts and procurement requests automatically.

The system

From goods receipt to consumption

One register, every movement audited, replenishment driven by demand, all on the same governed platform as the CMMS.

Inventory register and movements

Every item, every transaction

A central register with multi-site locations, barcode and QR support, valuation and a complete movement audit trail across receipts, issues, transfers and adjustments.

  • Central register with categories, valuation and attachments
  • Eight transaction types, fully audited and real-time
  • Hierarchical locations down to bin, vehicle and mobile store

Replenishment and suppliers

The right stock, before it runs out

Minimum levels and reorder thresholds raise low-stock alerts and generate procurement requests, with supplier lead times and performance feeding the decision.

  • Reorder thresholds and low-stock alerts
  • Procurement request generation
  • Supplier register, lead time and performance

Stocktake and tools

Accurate counts, controlled custody

Cycle counts and full stocktakes reconcile variances before adjustment, while tools and equipment are tracked through check-in, check-out and usage history.

  • Cycle counts with variance management
  • Reconciliation workflows and audit reporting
  • Tool custody, availability and usage history

Beyond a stock list

Key capabilities

What makes CAMS Inventory part of an asset management platform, not just a warehouse log.

Demand forecasting

Forecasts demand from consumption history and the maintenance plan, so replenishment is led by what the work will actually need.

Predictive

Inventory optimisation

Surfaces slow-moving and obsolete stock and recommends reorder points that cut holding cost without risking stockouts.

Holding cost

Maintenance-linked consumption

Every issue is tied to a work order and asset, so consumption and cost roll up exactly where they belong.

One platform

Full movement audit trail

Every receipt, issue, transfer and adjustment is recorded with user, reference and time, ready for audit.

Audit-ready

Multi-site and mobile stores

Hierarchical locations track stock across warehouses, depots, buildings and vehicles, with inter-site transfers and in-transit visibility.

Multi-site

Tool and equipment custody

Check-in and check-out track who holds what, due-back dates, availability and the full usage history of each tool.
