One way I’ve been around was having a well organized storage area with designated areas for each item and “kanban” cards with picture, info, vendor.
Stuff like paperclips came in a master case. If you took the last box, you pulled the card and put it in the re-order box. The card represented whatever quantity or a master case to order. The person that did the re-supply order collected the cards. When the stuff was received into inventory the cards were put back too.
