Read full description

**BenchStock is built for military maintenance teams that need faster, cleaner, and more accountable parts management.** Designed around real Army maintenance workflows, BenchStock helps units move away from paper logs, spreadsheets, and scattered tracking methods by giving leaders and maintainers a centralized system for managing bench stock, tools, POL, serialized components, and organizational inventory. With BenchStock, units can track parts, monitor stock levels, manage issue and turn-in activity, upload images, control user access, and maintain better visibility across sections and organizations. The app is built to support the realities of motor pools, aviation maintenance shops, supply rooms, and other military maintenance environments where speed, accountability, and accuracy matter. BenchStock is especially useful for teams preparing for inspections, improving CMDP readiness, reducing lost parts, and keeping leaders informed without relying on outdated manual processes. **Key capabilities include:** Inventory and bench stock tracking Tool and POL management Serialized component tracking Image uploads for parts and records User roles and organization-level access control NIIN-based item lookup and autocomplete Improved accountability for parts, tools, and supplies Digital records that help replace binders, paper logs, and spreadsheets BenchStock was created by military maintainers for military maintainers, with the goal of making unit-level logistics faster, more reliable, and easier to manage.
