Ensure Supplies and Equipment Are Always Stocked
Employees often notice low supplies but may forget to notify their manager if the process isn't quick and easy. By having a convenient system for supply or equipment requests, employees are more likely to submit timely requests, giving managers enough time to restock.
How you might currently be doing this
- Verbal requests to supervisors or purchasing departments
- Phone calls, emails or text messages to managers
- Written logs or forms
- Daily or weekly supply checklists
- Inventory tracking spreadsheets
- In-person requests during team meetings
- Radio or two-way communication systems

- Simplicity: A straightforward system makes it fast & easy for employees to submit requests in the exact moment they realize supplies are dwindling.
- Efficiency: Employees can quickly submit requests without tracking down a manager. Team Engine’s text records also help managers remember specifics and follow up if needed.
- Accountability: Team Engine’s record-keeping ensures there's a clear history of supply requests, so nothing gets missed, and managers can track and prioritize orders based on urgency.
