Hi all,

I've been searching for the last couple of weeks and haven't found anything that's quite right, most systems seem to be orientated to online stores, and I'm hoping someone out there can help.

We organise live events all over the UK and Europe using equipment that we own. We'll load trucks and send different equipment to different events, with 95% of it returning back to the same warehouse, the rest being consumables that get used at the events.

I'd really like some help with keeping track of what is in each flight case/pallet with our consumable items that we need to re-order and make sure we have enough of, of what items are where (if any items have been borrowed from other cases for certain events for example)

Something that can help us to load trucks and produce plans if we enter the dimensions of each flight case - currently we're doing that manually so that would be amazing.

Also to maintain an accurate inventory of what exactly is in the warehouse, the values, a copy of the invoice, any other data fields we may need, and in general any tools that could help us maintain it easier. Currently we're using Google Sheets to track what items are in which flight cases, which is working okay, but I'm curious about things being easier.

Thank you, any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

I don't know a great deal about all this but I'll do my best to explain what's going on...

I have a garage that I use for woodworking, it has a small fuseboard that's connected to the main fuseboard in the house. I called an electrician in as one of my machines (a jointer/planer) trips the power every time I turn it on, I know this thing is power hungry on startup as I've had similar problems with it in previous workshops, although sometimes it did actually start up without tripping anything.

Somebody came to take a look, and recommended adding a 16a feed from the garage box saying it should sort the problem, I went for it as I was on a budget and was happy with how little it would cost. It was installed over the weekend, but still the same problem, turning on this machine instantly trips the garage box every time.

They've now said this 'I hope you are happy with the work carried out over the weekend. He mentioned that the circuit was still tripping. There are now two options, have the machine serviced or check if the machine has a high start up current needing a type C breaker rather than B.'

Is anyone able to please provide me some advice/insight on what a wise thing to do would be? I'm hesitant to go ahead with more work from these guys, as they said that the first solution would work, so a bit of faith has been lost I suppose.

Thanks, and any help is very much appreciated.

I’ve looked everywhere but can’t find anything, would really appreciate it if anyone has any info
