Yes Crowley I assumed that, I'm hoping the shed a little light on whether its old fashioned paper and pencil, or computer based or a spreadsheet, ect.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by inventory system Steven but will try to answer.
Everything we buy is loaded into our accounting software, with quickly consumed items being expensed the month they are purchased and large purchases like 3M Scotchgard, Vans, Machinery etc. either being loaded in as a pre-paid expense (then expensed over the est life) or as an asset (vehicles/equip) and depreciated according to GAAP.
Rugs brought to us or picked up for cleaning are entered into our order entry system and tagged with a bar code allowing us to track it from anywhere in the world. Every rug movement is scanned. Rugs are not considered inventory in our cleaning operation, but rather as items that are Work In Progress. In our retail business all rugs are entered into the inventory module and then released from inventory when sold.

We have a spreadsheet inventory system for chemicals and materials. Its all monitored by one person for all three of our companies. The product is counted daily and there is a preset reorder point on the spreadsheet that tells Norman when to order.
The equipment is counted daily and is monitored by Norman and the locations of the equipment confirmed daily against active work orders.
The rugs are tagged and tracked through the accounts receiveables since the customers pay for the rugs upon delivery.
I may actually have a base template for inventory if I looked hard enough.
It was created by a college intern who was assigned to my company.

We out of our league with Snow and Oz, we sent out 2-4 carpet crews a day, we're not really big carpet cleaners. 84.3% of our sales this year are
in restoration.
Spread sheet for equipment, old schools for chems and rugs.
Our distributor is 10-minutes away so we purposely don't stock more than a case of most chems. We will stock a little more of the encap chems and pads just because those need to be ordered.

Everyone has to have some sort of inventory system, but it doesn't have to be complex. In fact Boeing scrapped their real-time, scanner-based parts ordering and replaced it with "When the bins gets to this line, order more."
Our rugs are tracked and stored by work order number via a computerized system, paperwork storage is too cumbersome at high volume.
Other inventory like chemicals or carpet repair materials are ordered using a paper form. They're set up so that ordering can quickly be done by looking at what's in stock. Supplies are ordered at different stock points depending on the lead time needed to get replacement products and a general idea of how much of the product we use in the time between order and arrival. Just like a grocery store, more shelf space is allotted to the big sellers.
Like Richard, we'd prefer to buy locally and let the supplier carry the inventory.
