Distributed stock, professional customers and the need for simple control
YESSS Electrical is one of the UK's leading electrical distributors, with a branch network that provides direct service to installers, contractors and professional customers across the country.
Like any distributor in the sector, it operates in an environment where material availability, traceability of consumption and seamless replenishment are critical to delivering great service. The challenge is not just having enough stock in a central warehouse — it's knowing exactly what's in each van, each job site, each store, and acting in time before something critical runs out.
With customers spread across construction sites, facilities and temporary locations, the question was how to digitalise stock control without complicating the field technician's workflow.
- Stock repartido entre furgonetas, almacenes, depots y ubicaciones de cliente
- Need to record movements with minimal friction from the field
- More organised replenishment, without relying on emergency orders
- Information accessible from any mobile device, no app install required
- System easy to adopt for non-technical profiles
Smart Asset Solutions, powered by TicTAP: una plataforma, tres formatos
TicTAP Stock was deployed under the Smart Asset Solutions brand, supported by YESSS Electrical's local branches. The platform transforms how materials and tools are stored, tracked and replenished through connected devices, QR/NFC tracking and automated monitoring.
The solution scales from a single van to a national network, and is available in three flexible formats designed to suit how each customer operates:
Smart Van
For electrical engineers, contractors and mobile teams. Track all van stock in real time. Technicians scan QR codes or tap with NFC to book out tools, equipment or consumables.
Smart Portal
Centralised online dashboard with real-time visibility across all vans, stores, teams and locations. Replenishment alerts, spending tracking and data export for audits and compliance.
Smart Store
Ideal for workshops, depots and customer stores. Smart bins, cabinets or shelving for complete stock control. Engineers book items out using QR or NFC and the system automatically monitors reorder thresholds.
From scan to replenishment — no manual intervention
Escanear o tap
Engineers use QR codes or NFC to book out tools, equipment or stock. No app required — works from any mobile browser.
Instant Update
El sistema actualiza los niveles de stock y reporta todo en tiempo real al Smart Portal dashboard.
Automatic Replenishment
When items reach minimum levels, the YESSS branch, nominated supplier or purchasing department is automatically notified.
Delivery & Optimisation
Stock is replenished quickly and the dashboard highlights opportunities to reduce waste and improve efficiency. No manual stock checks. No emergency orders.

What we are learning from the YESSS Electrical case
- Adoption improves when the technician only needs to scan a QR code or tap with NFC — no installation, no friction.
- The Store concept maps well to vans, warehouses, depots and on-site customer locations.
- Min/max thresholds help turn real consumption into organised replenishment needs.
- The value for the distributor is not just the software — it is the connected service tied to replenishment and recurring commercial relationship.
- The local branch plays an active role: installation, support, system adjustments and ongoing stock supply.
