DISPATCHIQ · PARTSIQ OSBetaA turn that waits on a nine dollar part waits at the price of the unit.
Every maintenance shop has the same blind spot. Nobody knows what is on the shelf until somebody walks down there, so units sit, orders get duplicated, and the shortage is discovered on the day it costs the most. PartsIQ watches the shelf, so stock is a consequence of the work instead of a chore nobody has time for.
Free during the beta. Property managers already running Turn7 can start the survey from the app.
The part nobody believes at first
Your technicians do nothing. No scanning, no tapping, no form at the end of the day. They take what they need and walk away, exactly as they do now.
The cameras are mounted and stay there. When somebody steps up to the rack they block the view, and when they leave it clears — so the last clean frame before and the first clean frame after are the two halves of the same event. Any system that asks a technician to log a part is a system that stops being accurate in week three.
What gets counted, and what only gets measured
Counted
Fittings, valves, cartridges, motors, lock cores — anything individually distinguishable and worth knowing the exact number of. These sit in shallow bins under a close camera and are counted properly.
Measured
Filters, flappers, bulbs, GFCIs, blind slats, wire nuts. Nobody needs to know there are forty-seven. They need to know it is running low, so these are read by fill level against a printed scale — cheaply, from across the aisle.
Telling those two apart is most of what makes a shop affordable to fit out. A system that promises to count four hundred washers from a photograph is promising an accuracy nobody can deliver, and we would rather say so on this page than on your invoice.
It starts with a survey, and the survey is free
Live nowNo two shops are alike — a small building has a closet, a five-hundred-unit property has an open shop with aisles. So nothing ships as a fixed kit and every install is scoped first.
- 01
Walk the shop
Nine sets of photos on a phone, about ten minutes. The app tells you exactly what to point at and why. Or ask us and a rep comes out and does it.
- 02
We build the plan
A drawing of your shop with camera positions, which racks are counted, what has to move onto the count shelf, and the risks — the window throwing daylight across rack three, the outlet twenty feet from where it is needed.
- 03
A plan and a price
Back within two business days. You say yes or no. Nothing is ordered either way, and the record of your shop is yours regardless.
It counts parts. It never identifies people.
There is no face recognition, no dwell time, and no record of who was standing at the rack. The system knows that three elbows left bin B-14 at 2:14pm and infers the job from the work order. It does not know who took them, and it is built so it cannot learn.
That is a design decision, not a policy one. A camera your maintenance team reads as surveillance is a camera that gets unplugged or covered within a month — and they would be right. Shrinkage falls anyway, because counted inventory always reduces it. It is a side effect, and we do not sell it as anything else.
Where this actually is
- The shop survey, inside Turn7, for supervisors and managers
- The ledger that counts events rather than storing a number
- Reorder timing driven by how fast a bin actually empties
- Camera placement that survives a knocked or replaced mount
- Vision accuracy in a real shop, under real light, on real bins. We have specified the threshold and have not yet met it.
- So no shop is being fitted with cameras today, and nobody is being asked to pay for one.
We would rather you read that here than find it out after an install.
Start with the survey.
Ten minutes of photographs and you get a measured record of your parts shop and a plan for what it would take to track it. Free, and yours whether or not you ever put a camera in there.
