Overview
Locations are one of the core organizational tools within Fuelled.
A Location represents a physical place where equipment, parts, inventory, or assets are stored, operated, maintained, or offered for sale.
Locations can be assigned throughout Fuelled and are used in:
Asset Manager Equipment
Asset Manager Parts
Marketplace Listings
Inventory Tracking
Reporting
Logistics Planning
Asset Transfers
Consignment Programs
Operational Management
Think of Locations as the physical footprint of your business.
Why Locations Matter
Locations help your organization answer questions such as:
Where is this equipment located?
Which yard owns this inventory?
Which facility is responsible for this asset?
Where can a buyer inspect equipment?
Which site contains these parts?
How many assets exist at a specific location?
Without Locations, inventory becomes difficult to manage as organizations grow.

Keep Addresses Accurate
Accurate addresses improve logistics planning and buyer confidence.
