Workplace Personal Protective Equipment Inventory
Management is a new application in the Orlando release.
The ServiceNow®Workplace Personal Protective Equipment Inventory
Management application helps you manage and monitor
workplace needs for safety equipment provided to your workforce. A dashboard
provides a comprehensive view of inventory by each facility, an aggregate scope
of the entire workplace, and historical data on how equipment levels have
changed over time. You can update current inventory levels daily for accurate
and real-time inventory management.
Important:
Workplace PPE Inventory Management is available in the ServiceNow Store.
For details, see the "Activation information" section of these release notes.
Workplace PPE Inventory Management features
- Submit and fulfill requests for
PPE
- Use Service Catalog to request PPE to use at your workplace. View PPE
requests, and use the stockroom quantity to assign items to users.
- Track PPE availability across
locations
- Create stockrooms and add stock to monitor how much inventory is available in
different locations. Reduce stock for a PPE
model to reflect accurate inventory at different locations.
- Automatically resupply
stockrooms

stockroom's inventory falls below a defined threshold, another stockroom's PPE items
can be transferred to resupply the low-quantity stockroom.

inventory

help you configure the Safe Workplace and Emergency Response Management applications on your ServiceNow instance. To open the Safe Workplace
guided setup, navigate to . For more information about using the guided setup interface, see Using guided setup.
