Inventory management for electrical contractors
No trade has as many small parts as electrical: terminals, boxes, switch ranges in three colours, cable offcuts on drums, plus meters and machines in every vehicle. Lavesy keeps workshop, warehouse and vehicle stock current in real time, reports when standard material runs low, and prepares the reorder for your electrical wholesaler – straight from the smartphone on site.
Sound familiar?
- A third opened drum of cable because nobody knew two were still there.
- Switch-range leftovers from five projects that nobody can assign anymore.
- The technician drives to the wholesaler because the right terminals are missing in the van.
- Bulk orders grow out of paper notes on the workshop wall.
How Lavesy helps
Small parts with minimum stock
Standard material (terminals, boxes, screws) reports itself before it runs out.
Separate vehicle stock
Every van is its own vehicle warehouse with target stock – technicians post in the warehouse app, the refill list shows what is missing.
Wholesaler data via Datanorm
Load your electrical wholesaler’s items and prices from the Datanorm 4 file – with preview and price history.
Track lengths & offcuts
Manage drums and cable offcuts with remaining quantity instead of buying new.
Reorder from the wholesaler
Order drafts bundled per supplier – one click instead of paper chaos.

Frequently asked questions
Can we track stock per service vehicle?
Yes. Every vehicle is its own storage location with its own movement history – transfers between workshop and van are one scan.
How do we handle lengths like cable drums?
Track lengths via the unit (e.g. metres) and post partial withdrawals – remaining quantities on drums stay visible.
Does reordering work with our wholesaler?
Lavesy creates order drafts per supplier with item numbers and quantities. Send the order by email or transfer it to the dealer portal.
Can we take over our wholesaler’s item data?
Yes, from the Business plan via the Datanorm import: upload a Datanorm 4 file per supplier, review new items and price changes in the preview, apply.
