Within UpKeep, you can maintain your entire inventory so you know exactly where things are. You can also use our barcode scanner for simple and easy access from a mobile device. You can set a minimum quantity for your parts. So when the quantity of a part dips below that minimum, you’ll be able to tell those parts are running low!
If your team already has a record of your parts, you can import them into UpKeep using our CSV template! We can also download our current list of parts, make updates, and re-import the information to update it.
NOTE: The CSV template to Update your parts is different from the one used to import new parts. Click here for more information on updating your parts!
