About Order3 use cases

Asset tracking vs. inventory management: what's the line?

Inventory is what gets used up, sold, or moved through. Assets are what stays: the laptop, the impact driver, the autoclave. A box of nitrile gloves: inventory. The MacBook the receptionist uses: asset. Most teams need both, run side by side.

Barcode inventory vs. serialized inventory.

Different axes. Barcode is how you record movements (scan instead of type). Serialized is how you identify units (each has its own serial number and history). You can, and often do, combine them: scan a serialized item's barcode to record its move. They're complementary, not alternatives.

Can a single workspace cover multiple use cases?

Yes, and most do. An electrical contractor might run parts, tools, PPE, and supplies in one workspace. Locations, fields, and reorder rules separate the work without making the team learn a different tool for each.

Where should I start?

With the workflow that's bleeding. Stockouts, drift, missed reorders, a spreadsheet on the verge of collapse: start there. Layer on the rest in week three or four. You don't need a 16-use-case rollout plan.

Start with the painful workflow

Start with the workflow that hurts most.

Pick one recurring inventory problem, fix the record, then add the next workflow once the team is using it.
