Your Most Go-To-est Small and Medium Parts
by Josh Bisker 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Pals, we've got a bunch of long skinny red u-line bins (like 4" x 18") on a couple long shelves now that are BALLING. They're super easy access for people to get their hands on small and medium sized parts. What are your like, top ten or top twenty small or medium sized things that people need to get ahold of? What would I not think of, but you're like "oh folks actually need XYZ like all the damn time"? Or do you have cautionary tales, like "don't put fifteen pounds of M5 bolts in one of those, they will get mixed up immediately with other things and it will suck"? Also check it: we're going to take a tip from Kickstand in Vancouver and hot-glue the part itself to the front of the bin, so that no one needs to remember just what a thing is called to have access to the magic.

B!KE uses Lightspeed. It has good inventory management and (slightly outdated) integration with our major suppliers. Non-profits get a $50 per month discount making their basic plan totally free.
