Few things kill a profitable week like running out of your best-selling film. A light inventory system prevents it without tying up cash in dead stock.

Know your movers

Track which films and VLTs actually sell. Stock to demand, not to a supplier’s suggested order.

Set reorder points

A simple “reorder when you hit X rolls” rule beats eyeballing the shelf and discovering an empty box mid-install.

Tie usage to jobs

When film usage links to completed jobs, your counts stay honest automatically.

Built into the shop OS

Inventory tied to jobs is part of a real tint shop platform like SalesThumb.
