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. Leaders and maintainers get one system for managing bench stock, tools, POL, serialized components, and organizational inventory. With BenchStock, units can track parts, monitor stock levels, run cycle counts, scan barcodes, manage issue and turn-in activity, assign tasks, and maintain better visibility across shops, areas, and organizations. The app is built for the realities of motor pools, aviation maintenance shops, supply rooms, and other military maintenance environments where speed, accountability, and accuracy matter. It keeps working even when connectivity doesn't. 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for inspections, improving CMDP readiness, reducing lost parts, and keeping leaders informed without relying on outdated manual processes.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 - Barcode scanning, including Code 39, PDF417, and Codabar - Cycle counts, with the option to exclude specific areas - Task assignments for maintainers and sections - Shop and area assignments for each user - NIIN-based item lookup, fast part search, and an installable NIIN catalog - Offline support that retries changes once you're back online - Full activity history for issues, turn-ins, and adjustments - Image uploads for parts and records - Secure push notifications with customizable preferences - User roles, organization-level access control, and join codes for quick onboarding - In-app bug and crash reporting - Digital records that 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.
