Built What SimPROCouldn't Deliver
A custom inventory management system for a security contracting firm — because their field service platform left a paper trail on zero jobs. FieldStock changed that completely.
SimPRO is strong at billing.
Inventory accountability? Zero.
This security contracting firm was using SimPRO as their core field service platform and paying for it every month. What they weren't getting: any reliable answer to "what did we actually use on that job."
Before FieldStock — SimPRO's Inventory Failures
- Allocates items to a job but has zero mechanism to track what was actually consumed vs. what came back
- No way for a field technician to say "I used 6 cameras, not 10 — here's what I'm returning"
- Inventory discrepancies accumulate silently — missing parts, phantom stock, unresolvable job costing
- Techs showing up to warehouse with no structured pull process — just memory and paper
- No warehouse-level visibility into what's been picked, staged, or in-field per job
- Multi-visit jobs with no running tally — each visit looked like a new, unrelated transaction
- No damaged/returned goods workflow — items just disappeared from the record
- No mechanism to handle returned or damaged goods — there is no workflow for a tech to say "this camera was DOA, here is what came back"
- SimPRO staff IDs and actual technician profiles are disconnected — job assignments sync with null assigned_tech_id, meaning automated routing is impossible
- Pick ticket and pull workflow does not exist — your warehouse manager is working from memory, whiteboards, or a text message from the dispatcher
"SimPRO is a billing and scheduling tool. It was never built to be an inventory accountability system. That gap costs field service companies real money every month."
Eight workflows SimPRO never had.
Real Scenario
A real morning without FieldStock
It's 7:15am. Two techs are heading to the warehouse to pick up parts for separate jobs. Neither has been formally told what to pull. One looks at a group text from yesterday. The other calls the dispatcher. The warehouse manager pulls items from memory. One job gets the right cameras — the other gets shortchanged and the tech doesn't find out until he's on site 40 minutes away. That job gets rescheduled. The customer is frustrated. Nobody knows how many cameras are actually left in the warehouse because SimPRO says one number and the shelf says another.
FieldStock eliminates every failure point in that scenario.

Replaced
Off-the-shelf inventory add-ons that didn't integrate with field workflow — and a spreadsheet system held together by hope.
The Outcome
"For the first time, this security contracting company knows exactly what left the warehouse, who took it, what job it went to, and whether it came back."
Not in SimPRO. Not on a spreadsheet. In a system built specifically for how their team actually works.
Also built for van-based field service
Running HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or low-voltage crews? The same core platform adapts to track what's in every vehicle.
Barcode & QR Scanning
Scan parts in and out of vans, job sites, and warehouses with any mobile device. No dedicated scanner hardware required.
Van / Vehicle Stock Tracking
Each technician van maintains its own live inventory. Dispatchers see exactly what every vehicle is carrying before scheduling a job.
Syncs with SimPRO
Two-way sync with SimPRO means parts usage on a job is reflected immediately. No double-entry, no spreadsheets, no reconciliation headaches.
Usage & Cost Reporting
Know exactly which parts are consumed most, which techs use more material than quoted, and where shrinkage is happening.
Asset-Level Accountability
Serialized assets like tools and equipment are assigned to a specific technician. Accountability is built in, not bolted on.
How we get you up and running
Most field service companies are live with FieldStock in under two weeks.
Connect to SimPRO
We integrate FieldStock directly with your existing SimPRO tenant using the SimPRO API. No data migration, no disruption.
Set Up Your Stock Locations
Define warehouses, vans, and storage locations. Import your existing parts catalog from SimPRO.
Go Live with Mobile Scanning
Technicians start scanning on day one. The interface is intentionally simple — no training required.
Monitor & Optimize
Live dashboards give management real-time visibility. We help you tune thresholds and reports over the first 30 days.
Built for field service companies running SimPRO
FieldStock is designed for companies that run SimPRO as their core field service platform and are frustrated that warehouse or van-level inventory still lives in spreadsheets, whiteboards, or nowhere at all.
Ideal for security, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and low-voltage companies with 5–100 technicians. Whether you have 3 vans or 30, FieldStock scales without complexity.
Not on SimPRO? FieldStock can be adapted for ServiceTitan, Jobber, HouseCall Pro, or any platform with an accessible API — or built as a standalone system with no dependency on your current FSM platform. Let's talk.
