Track inventory or supplies if needed

Running out of supplies stops jobs and frustrates customers; overstocking ties up cash. Tracking inventory means you always have what you need without money sitting on a shelf.

Do this

1. List the supplies you use regularly.
2. Set a minimum level for each — when to reorder.
3. Check stock on a set schedule and reorder before you hit zero.
4. Track usage so you can predict what you'll need.
