Can I use Inara for blueprints, put up what I want from her in Inara, determine and gather all the mats I'm going to need for lets say 4 upgrades (altready have L5 FSD so she is unlocked), including all the rolls, and then upgrade my ship one blueprint after another all in one trip to see her? Thanks!

Thank you. At my age, if I didn't have a shopping list I would be standing in the shop wondering what the .... I was doing here now.
I use Inara.cz blueprints all the time to create lists material needs and quantities on paper for engineering modules. I usually found [material] * 4 to be a good number to acquire past Tier 2 rank on engineering. For Tier 5 rank, [material] * 10 caps the module at Tier 5 rank due to the weird engineering RNG.
I also use the Inara.cz Nearest to find Material Traders closest to the engineer or current system when farming for materials. This lets me trade up or down, as appropriate, so that I'm able to collect more to reach goal numbers per material.
This may be unrelated but semi-related. Don't forget that you can use APEX shuttles when you have multiple ships in different locations. For example, a ship to be engineered may be docked in Deciat but your main ship is elsewhere. You can book long distance shuttles to hop between ships. You just need to go inside the concourse upon arrival to the other ship to designate that current location ship, as your active ship. Using APEX shuttles saves credits and time sometimes.

Yes!
When I’m putting together a new ship I plan everything out in advance.
I make a shopping list for part parts and materials.
Tally up all the materials needed for engineering, go farming, trading etc.
Once I‘m satisfied that I exceed the mats I need it’s off to the engineers to complete all levels in one trip.
Its the most efficient way to do it (imho)

Adding to the comment here. Do not forget about pinned blueprints. You can pin blueprints where those blueprints are accessible to continue engineer upgrades, in cases where material ran out; but you cannot apply Experimental effects in the remote engineering station.
As you unlock Engineers and using pinned blueprints, you can effectively engineer any ship up except Experimental effects. Then, its a round robin trips to apply them to the engineers.
