System

Parts on hand before you need them.

Real-time inventory across every site and warehouse. Auto-reorder triggers before stock runs out. Predictive demand based on scheduled jobs and equipment health data.

What it is

A job halted for a missing part is a day lost, a crew standing around, and a customer not getting serviced. A warehouse overloaded with the wrong stock ties up capital that should be in the field. Most operations manage inventory reactively - ordering when they run out, stocking what they're used to buying, and absorbing the cost of both extremes.

TMI's Smart Inventory system tracks every part, material, and consumable across every site and warehouse in real time. When stock drops below threshold, reorder requests are generated automatically. But the real leverage is predictive: the AI agent forecasts demand based on scheduled jobs, historical consumption rates, and equipment health data from your maintenance system - so purchase orders are drafted before stock runs out, not after the job stalls.

Every part consumed ties directly to a job cost code. No more estimated material costs. Actual consumption against actual budget, visible while the job runs.

How it works

From stockout risk to purchase order - automatically.

Step 01

Track real-time inventory across all locations

Every part, material, and consumable logged across every site, truck, and warehouse. Consumption recorded at the point of use, not at end of shift. Stock levels visible without calling anyone or walking to a shelf. Discrepancies flagged automatically when usage doesn't match records.

Step 02

Predict demand before jobs start

The AI agent analyzes the jobs scheduled for the next 30 days, the historical parts consumption on similar jobs, and the current equipment health signals from your maintenance system. It surfaces which parts are likely to be needed, when, and in what quantities - before anyone orders reactively or runs short mid-job.

Step 03

Auto-draft POs with vendor lead times factored in

When demand is forecast or stock hits reorder threshold, purchase orders are drafted automatically - quantities calculated, vendor lead times factored in, approval routed to the right person. No more emergency orders at premium freight. No more overstock from over-ordering to compensate. Procurement optimized without anyone managing it manually.

Systems included

Tracking and prediction, working together.

Real-time inventory visibility paired with AI-driven procurement - the combination that eliminates both stockouts and overstock.

Who benefits

Industries where a missing part costs more than the part.

Manufacturing

Production and maintenance teams

Production halts cost thousands per hour. Predictive procurement keeps critical spares on hand before equipment health signals turn into unplanned downtime. Every part consumed on a maintenance job tied to the asset's cost record automatically.

Oil & Gas

Field and well servicing operations

Remote locations and long vendor lead times make reactive ordering punishing. The procurement agent factors in vendor travel time and site accessibility when forecasting. Parts arrive before the job starts, not after three days of a crew waiting on a supplier.

HVAC & Plumbing

Service fleet operators

Technicians with missing parts make second trips that kill margins on residential and commercial service calls. Truck stock optimized by job type and season. The most common service-call parts always on hand - the rest ordered for scheduled jobs before the crew leaves the yard.

The shift

From reactive stockouts to predictive supply.

Before TMI

Reactive, manual, and expensive

  • Parts ordered reactively after stockouts halt jobs
  • Overstock on slow-moving items ties up cash the operation needs
  • Emergency freight premiums paid regularly because nobody planned ahead
  • Parts consumption not tracked to job cost - materials estimated, not measured
  • Technicians making second trips because the van was stocked by habit, not by job type
VS
With TMI

Predictive, automated, and margin-aware

  • AI forecasts demand based on scheduled jobs and equipment health data
  • POs drafted automatically before stock runs out - vendor lead times factored in
  • Zero emergency freight because procurement happens on the right timeline
  • Every part tied to a job cost code - actual material cost visible in real time
  • Truck stock optimized by job type - right parts on the right vehicle

Stop ordering reactively. Start predicting.

Every mid-job supply emergency and every overstock expense is a system problem, not a purchasing problem. We'll show you what predictive procurement looks like in your operation.
