Logistics & Inventory Module

The Logistics module ensures that the workforce is properly equipped and that physical resources are tracked and managed efficiently.

Key Entities

Requisitions

The internal procurement and issuance workflow. - Request Flow: Staff requesting equipment or uniforms. - Approval Engine: Multi-level approval rules based on item value or requisition type.

Inventory & Stock

Real-time tracking of warehouse and site stock levels. - Inventory Transactions: Logging receipts, issuances, and returns. - Stock Alerts: Notifications for low stock levels on critical items.

Uniform Management

A specialized subset of logistics for clothing and PPE. - Issuance Rules: Defining what items a guard is entitled to based on their role and tenure. - Return Tracking: Ensuring equipment is recovered when a guard leaves the company.

Supplier Management

Tracking external vendors and procurement history. - Catalog: Managed list of approved items and their standard costs. - History: Record of purchases and supplier performance.

Workflow

1. Requisition Initiation: A manager or guard requests items (e.g., a replacement uniform).
2. Approval: The request is reviewed against budget and entitlement rules.
3. Fulfillment: Items are picked from stock and issued to the beneficiary.
4. Allocation Tracking: The system records exactly who has custody of which asset (e.g., a specific radio or firearm).
5. Recovery: When an assignment ends, the system flags the expected return of issued items.
