Inventory Management – Furniture
- Silas Canning (Unlicensed)
Analytics
The Furniture type of the Inventory Management module allows you to list all common items of furniture that you may carry or store for clients, along with their volume, costs and other relevant details. The information recorded here generates the list that is used in the Inventory tab of the Jobs module. It is also the master for MoveSurvey and Mobi, Moveware’s handheld surveying programs.
You are able to set a default weight and volume, pack type (packing material), as well as the default rooms that the item will appear in on MoveSurvey or Mobi. These values can then be modified when a survey is performed.
