Yah we do this too. Except when we're swamped...then it's grab everything
you might need+ and run.

| When I was still installing I used to make up a "job box" for
| each installation.  Included were all of the components except
| cable.  I'd place all the contacts plus several spares in
| resealable plastic bags.  Before the guys would start a new job
| they would stop at the office and pick up the job box, a printed
| copy of the "Schedule of Protection" from the contract and any
| notes I'd made about the project.
|
| When the job was finished they'd return the job box with any
| unused components and pick up the next one.  The boxes were just
| large, cardboard boxes we'd occasionally get from distributors.
|
| Each technician also carried a kit with a few extra of each type
| of contacts we used, a couple of extra motion detectors and one
| of each model Napco keypad plus an extra zone expander, a couple
| of sirens and batteries.  When they used anything on a job or
| service call they'd replace it from stock the next day.
|
| That's what worked for me.  YMMV
