Open Inventory to see what film you have, add rolls, approve tech deductions, and check usage. The page has four sections: Overview, Stock, Catalog, and Reports.

​
Overview

Overview shows:
  • Total stock items and current quantities
  • Estimated inventory value
  • Usage over the last 30 days
  • Low-stock and critical-stock alerts
  • Recent transactions
  • Usage trend chart
Check Overview at the start of each week so low stock does not surprise you mid-job.

​
Stock

Stock lists every item with quantity, status, film type, and brand.

​
Adding stock

1

Open Add Stock

On the Stock tab, click Add Stock in the top-right corner.
2

Select a film from the catalog

Choose a film from your catalog. The catalog entry fills in film type, brand, and unit.
3

Enter the quantity

Enter how much you are adding (rolls, linear feet, or the unit that film uses).
4

Confirm

Submit the form. The stock updates and the transaction is logged.

​
Stock statuses

​
Low-stock alerts

When an item hits low or critical, ShopWrk highlights it on Overview and in the stock list. Set per-item thresholds on the item detail page.
Low-stock thresholds are per item. Open the item detail to set the quantity that should trigger an alert.

​
Filtering stock

Filter by film type (PPF, Tinted PPF, Window Tint, Ceramic Coating), brand, or status. Use search to find a product by name.

​
Catalog

Catalog is your product library. Each entry defines a product (brand, film type, dimensions, pricing) separate from how much you currently have on the shelf.

​
Why the catalog matters

Catalog entries keep names and specs consistent. When you add stock, you pick from the catalog so transactions and reports stay aligned. ShopWrk ships with common PPF, window tint, and ceramic products. Add custom entries for products your shop uses.

​
Adding a custom catalog entry

1

Open the Catalog tab

Go to Inventory → Catalog.
2

Add a new entry

Click Add Film and fill in product name, brand, film type, and pricing details.
3

Save

The entry is available when adding stock or building estimates.

​
Approval-based adjustments

When a technician deducts material on a job, ShopWrk can require someone with permission to approve the adjustment before stock changes. That catches bad counts and unauthorized use. Pending approvals show as a banner at the top of Inventory. Open Approvals to review each deduction.
Pending approvals are not reflected in stock counts until you approve or reject them. Clear the queue regularly so numbers stay honest.
1

Review the request

Open a pending approval to see the item, amount, who submitted it, and the job.
2

Approve or reject

Click Approve to apply the deduction, or Reject to dismiss it without changing stock.

​
Film allocation on services

For tint and PPF services you can define how much material each service uses, by vehicle size or panel coverage, using shade (how dark the film is) and film type. When a job runs a service with an allocation, ShopWrk knows what the job should consume. Whether that amount deducts automatically or waits for approval depends on your inventory settings. Consumption posts against the job, waste logs separately, and cost-per-job reflects what actually happened.
Configure allocations on each service under Settings → Services. Services without an allocation still work; they just do not deduct film automatically.

​
Reports

Reports has three views over a date range (7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or 1 year).
See which materials were consumed, how much per film type or brand, and how usage breaks down across jobs. Filter by film type and brand.
See material cost for the period. Useful for job profitability and restocking budgets.
Track material logged as waste: offcuts, defective rolls, or install mistakes. Use it to cut loss.
