Suggestion to Improve Inventory Part Creation Process
I wanted to share an observation regarding the current process for adding new parts to the inventory.
At the moment, creating a new part takes a considerable amount of time because every detail has to be filled in manually — such as part number, description, type, brand, status, part name, storage location, cost, and then linking the part to an asset. When many parts are similar, this becomes repetitive and time-consuming.
In the previous system (HIPPO CMMS), this process was more efficient. It was possible to copy an existing part and only update the fields that were different — for example, part number, storage location, and cost — while keeping the remaining information the same. This significantly reduced manual work and the risk of errors.
Would it be possible to add a similar “copy part” feature in our new system (Eptura Asset)? Implementing this functionality could save hours of manual work, improve consistency in part data, and make inventory management much more efficient overall.
Thank you for considering this idea. I’m happy to discuss it further if needed.

Thank you for your suggestion—this idea has merit and aligns with our broader strategy. However, due to other priorities, we are unable to pursue it at this time. We’ll keep it on our radar and revisit it when the timing is right or if we see increased interest from our customer community.
