What it does

Turns an equipment request form into a fulfilled order with inventory tracking. It reads the manager's picks (laptop model, monitor, peripherals, phone), checks current stock in an inventory sheet, decides whether to allocate on-hand units or raise a purchase order, records the assignment against the hire, and reports the expected ready date.

When to use it

Use it when equipment provisioning is requested ad hoc and you lack a clean record of what's in stock versus what must be bought. Good for IT asset managers who track inventory in Google Sheets and want orders to deduct stock automatically.

How it works

  1. 1A form submission (webhook) arrives with the hire, requested gear, and start date.
  2. 2A logic step compares each item against the inventory sheet to split the request into in-stock and to-order.
  3. 3In-stock items are decremented and written as an assignment row in Google Sheets tagged to the hire.
  4. 4To-order items create a purchase task in Trello for the procurement queue with the needed-by date.
  5. 5The manager receives a confirmation listing what's reserved, what's on order, and the projected ready date.
