Objective third-party statistics and research benchmarks relative to inventory & parts tracking and property maintenance workflows.
Maintenance techs pull parts from a central storeroom — filters, faucet cartridges, light fixtures. A paper sign-out sheet is the only tracking. Inventory counts are always wrong.
Untracked parts inventory means emergency supply runs for items that should be in stock, plus 10–15% shrinkage that is invisible until the annual physical count.
