Parts & Services: Overview
Parts and services are the backbone of every job you run—whether it’s a full generator install, a service call, or an annual maintenance visit. In Zuper, these items power everything from job costing to quoting and invoicing, giving you full visibility into what’s being used, sold, and billed.
Parts & Products
These are the physical items used in your jobs.
For generator dealers, this typically includes:
-
Oil filters
-
Spark plugs
-
Batteries
-
Transfer switches
-
Generator units
These items are either stocked in your inventory or purchased as needed and are tracked as they’re used in jobs.
Services
Services represent the work your team performs.
Examples include:
-
Generator installation
-
Troubleshooting and repair
-
Preventative maintenance
-
Load testing
Services can be set as billable or non-billable depending on your workflow.
Bundles
Bundles group multiple parts and/or services together into one package.
This is especially useful for:
-
Maintenance plans (e.g., annual service packages)
-
Standard install packages
-
Pre-built service offerings
Bundles help streamline pricing, ensure consistency, and reduce manual entry.
Why This Matters
Using parts and services correctly allows you to:
-
Track inventory in real time
-
Ensure technicians have what they need before the job
-
Maintain accurate job costing and margins
-
Standardize your install and service workflows
Zuper automatically updates inventory levels as items are used in jobs or transferred between locations—so you always know what’s in stock.
Pro Tip
If your team is doing the same type of work repeatedly (like maintenance or installs), set up bundles ahead of time. This saves time, reduces errors, and keeps your pricing consistent across every job.
