## What is ship stock control software?

Ship stock control software tracks a vessel's spare parts and stores — where they
are, how many are held, what they are worth and when to reorder — so crews neither
run out of critical spares nor tie up cash over-ordering. NOZZLE handles this as
part of [Inventory Management](/solutions/maritime-inventory-management-software/).

NOZZLE tracks each spare part and store by storage location, showing total stock
across the vessel, stock in each location and open requests, with minimum and
maximum levels configurable per vessel and FIFO valuation in the base currency.
Dangerous goods (by UN class) and critical spares are flagged, every stock
movement is recorded, and periodic stocktaking keeps inventory matching reality.
Because stock is linked to procurement and to the planned maintenance system,
low-stock items can become requisitions and spare-part stocktaking stays aligned
with maintenance.

Stock control works with
[purchase order management](/solutions/purchase-order-management-software/),
[planned maintenance](/solutions/pms-planned-maintenance-system/) and the
[Inventory of Hazardous Materials](/solutions/ihm-inventory-hazardous-materials-software/).

## Capabilities

### Every spare accounted for, in every storeroom
_Storage Locations & Stock_

When no one is sure what is on board, vessels either run out of critical spares or over-order "just in case." NOZZLE tracks each spare part and store by storage location, showing total stock across the vessel, stock in each location, and open requests, so the real position is always clear.

* Stock tracked by storage location and across the vessel * Spare parts identified by item, part, drawing and internal numbers * Minimum and maximum stock levels per item, configurable per vessel * Dangerous-goods (UN class) and critical-spare flags * FIFO stock valuation in the vessel's base currency

### Counts you can trust, movements you can trace
_Stocktaking & Transactions_

NOZZLE records every stock movement and supports periodic stocktaking, so inventory reflects reality and discrepancies are found and corrected rather than carried forward.

* Stocktaking with recorded counts and adjustments * Full history of inventory transactions * Stock control, stock value and spare-part transaction reports * Shared spare-part stocktaking with the planned maintenance system

### Reorder before you run out
_Reorder & Procurement_

Because stock levels are linked to procurement, items that fall below their minimum can be turned into requisitions, so reordering is driven by the real stock position rather than guesswork.

* Low-stock items visible against minimum levels * Requisitions raised from the stock position * Ordered and received goods update stock automatically

## Frequently asked questions

### What is ship stock control software?
Ship stock control software tracks a vessel's spare parts and stores — where they are, how many are held, their value and when to reorder — so crews neither run out of critical spares nor over-order. In NOZZLE this is part of [Inventory Management](/solutions/maritime-inventory-management-software/).

### Does NOZZLE support minimum and maximum stock levels?
Yes. Each item can carry minimum and maximum stock levels, configurable per vessel, so low stock is visible against the minimum and can be turned into a requisition before a shortage occurs.

### How is stock valued?
NOZZLE values stock on a FIFO basis in the vessel's base currency, and provides stock value, stock control and spare-part transaction reports.

### Does stock control connect to procurement and maintenance?
Yes. Stock links to [procurement](/solutions/purchase-order-management-software/) so goods receipt updates stock, and to the planned maintenance system for spare-part stocktaking, keeping parts, purchasing and maintenance aligned.
