Hotel inventory with a store per department
Hotel departments consume real goods — amenities, linen, cleaning supplies, mini-bar items. In ScanServe each department is a store inside central inventory, so a hotel request draws stock from the central warehouse and the valuation stays correct.
Departments as stores
Housekeeping, laundry, mini-bar and maintenance hold their own balances instead of sharing one pool.
- Store-scoped balances per department
- Mapping between hotel services and inventory items
- Independent low-stock thresholds
Requests and approvals
A department requests stock, the owner or inventory manager approves it, and the issue moves quantities with an audit trail.
- Purchase and stock requests
- Owner Approval Center routing
- Immutable stock transaction history
Consumption from guest services
Mini-bar consumption and amenity usage reduce the department's stock as the charge posts to the guest folio.
- Service-linked consumption
- Folio charge and stock movement together
- Valuation and usage reports
