The job card, the parts it consumed and the invoice are one chain.
Field work is recorded twice in most businesses: once by the engineer on site, and again by whoever turns that into an invoice. The second recording is where parts go missing and labour gets rounded down.
Chikito records it once. A job card carries the labour and the parts it consumed, the parts leave stock, and the invoice is built from what the job actually used.
Field service
What gets in the way
Parts consumed off the books
Van stock is still stock. Parts issued to a job leave inventory against that job, so consumption and cost stay attached to the work that caused them.
Assets out on hire
A rented asset is neither sold nor available. Rentals track what is out, with whom, and when it is due back.
Billing that lags the work
When the invoice is assembled from the job card rather than from memory, it can be raised the day the job closes.

Field service & rentals, specifically
Can we track rented assets and sold stock in one system?
Yes — rentals and inventory share the same item records, so an asset's availability reflects both.
Do engineers need a separate app?
Work orders and job cards are part of the same workspace, scoped so each person sees only the work assigned to them.
