Stock, PPE, Kit & Vehicles

Every Asset, Every Carer, Every Renewal: Tracked

Most agencies discover they are out of gloves at 06:50 on a Monday. They forget a vehicle's MOT until the day it expires. They have no idea which carer still has the spare door fob. homecareOS replaces those scattered spreadsheets with one register: PPE inventory, carer kit issue and return, a vehicle log with MOT, insurance and licence dates on file, and a full order trail. You stop firefighting and start managing.

Four Registers. One Place. Zero Spreadsheets.

PPE Inventory

Track gloves, aprons, masks, sanitiser and consumables.

Carer Kit Issue & Return

Log every uniform, lanyard, ID badge, fob and device issued. When a carer leaves, see exactly what they still have.

Vehicle Register

Agency vehicles logged by registration, with odometer readings taken when a carer collects one and brings it back. Each carer's own car sits on their staff file with MOT, insurance and licence expiry dates, flagged red or amber as they come round.

Order Trail

Order PPE and kit straight from homecareOS. What you ordered, when you placed it and what it cost, all on one trail instead of buried in a mailbox.

Low Stock Flags

Set a reorder level on any item and the Stock page flags everything at or below it, with a running count at the top. Kit that is still out stays on the issued list until someone logs it back in.

Evidence on Screen

Stock on hand, order dates and every item issued to a named carer, held in the system rather than in a cupboard notebook. Real records, not memory.

The Cost of Poor Asset Tracking

£1,000 Maximum fine for driving without a valid MOT
£2,500 Maximum fine if the vehicle is in a dangerous condition, plus 3 points
One record MOT, insurance and driving licence expiry on every carer's vehicle file, flagged before they lapse
