Setting Up Inventory Locations

Inventory locations are the physical places where you store your parts — tech vans, shop racks, delivery trucks, or any other storage area. You need at least one location before you can start tracking inventory.

Setting Up During Onboarding

Step 2 of the setup wizard asks you to add your locations. Enter a name for each one (e.g., "Tech Van — John", "Main Shop Rack", "Delivery Rack") and click Add. You can add as many as you need.

Adding Locations Later

If you skipped Step 2 or need to add more locations:

1. Go to Inventory from the main navigation
2. Click Manage Locations
3. Click + Add Location
4. Enter a name for the location
5. Click Save

Types of Locations

• Tech van locations — when a location is tied to a specific technician, GlassFlow uses it for automatic parts deduction when that tech's jobs are completed. Set this up by associating the location with a technician in the location settings.
• Delivery rack — a location designated for incoming parts deliveries
• Shop locations — any named rack or storage area in your shop

Tips

• Name locations clearly so they're easy to identify when adding parts or reviewing logs
• If a technician works from their own van, create a dedicated location and link it to them — this enables auto-loading
• There's no limit to the number of locations you can create
