Material Inventory · the supply side
Record the part before it disappears.
Legacy parts, opened stock and surplus components are removed, written off or thrown away before anyone writes down what they were. Material Inventory is where professionals record visible plumbing, heating and installation parts, with photos, markings, condition, quantity and location, so a working one can be found later instead of bought new.

The problem
Useful parts disappear when nobody records them in time.
Discontinued parts, opened boxes, surplus from a job and components pulled out in a renovation are gone the moment the skip leaves. Nobody wrote down what they were, what condition they were in, or where they sat.
PartSignal is the demand side: someone is looking for a part. Material Inventory is the supply side: the record of a part that still exists. When the two meet, a professional checks the match.
How it works
From a part on a shelf to a record someone can act on.
- Step 1
Register the part
A visible part, or a box of stock, before it is removed or written off.
- Step 2
Photos and markings
Add photos, legible markings, quantity, location and condition.
- Step 3
Keep the context
Where it came from and why it is coming out. That context is what makes it findable later.
- Step 4
Assumptions stay visible
What was read from the part and what was guessed are kept apart.
- Step 5
Ready for review
A professional can evaluate reuse, sourcing or a match against a search.
Record examples
Where supply records begin.
Before renovation, removal, write-off or disposal, so a visible part stays reviewable instead of leaving circulation.
Opened thermostatic part
Opened stock with model notes, quantity and storage location preserved for review.
Visible valve component
Photo, markings, source location and condition captured before removal.
Surplus sanitary part
Documented before write-off or renovation waste handling, while the stock context still exists.
What you get
Records with scenario and report support.
Supply record
Photos, category, quantity, location, condition and source context, structured for professional review.
Candidate match
A record can match a search or a sourcing case. It stays a candidate until a professional or supplier verifies it.
Value indication
Condition, quantity and demand can support a suggested value range. It is not a guaranteed sale price.
CO₂ and report support
Reuse-versus-replacement scenarios with assumptions kept visible, prepared for later impact or ESG/LCA reporting.
Pricing
Professional access, priced by scope.
From €49
Material Inventory access
Final pricing depends on record volume, storage needs and workflow scope. Scope and terms are confirmed in the access flow before anything is charged.
Scope
What is included
Review-ready records of visible components and materials. Compatibility and demand signals, not approvals. Records kept before replacement, disposal or write-off.
What Material Inventory does not do
Records and scenarios, not certification.
Material Inventory does not confirm fit, CO₂ savings, availability, price, reuse, sale, supply or installation. Records support professional review. Qualified people verify before any external claim or action.
Got parts leaving a job?
