How often do you run out to purchase supplies for a particular project? Do you ever use everything on the one project or do you often have leftover supplies? Unless you buy prepackaged projects you probably end up with all kinds of odds and ends left over. Most of us hate to waste resources so we hold on to the little bits that are left hoping that we can find a way to put them to good use later. The problem is that after awhile we forget that we have those leftovers, or we can't find them when we need them so we end up buying more later. Before long we have a overstock of partially used materials and an area so full of clutter that we'd rather not even try to find something in there. Good news! Stockpile quick easy online inventory solution can help you keep track of the leftovers so that you actually can find them and use them later. Keep reading to learn more.
Incorporating Stockpile into a reorganization project is a great way to get started but if that seems like more than you want to take on right now, you can start small. The next time you purchase supplies for a project enter them into Stockpile. Include all the important details such as color, size, price, brand - really anything you'd want to know if you were going to run out and get a replacement. You can even add a picture to your item record so that you can see exactly what the item looked like. After you complete your project update your quantities. This way you'll know how much of each supply you have left on hand. If you used all of one item record that as well, but don't delete the item record. Why? Because if you want to get more of that item you'll know exactly what you used last time and be able to get a comparable item the next time.
As you're adding items pay particular attention to areas and locations. Different people have different ideas about how best to track their items, that's why Stockpile is fully customizable. You can create different locations within your home or you can use areas. For more on locations and areas click the links. A good example would be creating a location Bonus Room and then within that location having areas such as Tall Shelves or Gray Bin. The key is to make items easy to locate in the future so don't rush through and skimp on details. You don't want to waste time searching for items or waste money replacing things you already have on hand. Adding details now will save you in the long run.
If you're known as the crafty or handy one in your group, chances are your friends come to you when they need to borrow supplies. This can be tricky but it's easy to lose track of who has what. Not with Stockpile quick easy online inventory solution! You can easily "transfer" items to your friends so you'll always know who borrowed what. This will also keep you from looking for things that you don't have on hand right now. If you keep Stockpile up to date, it will be the most powerful tool in your organizational toolkit.
