our company uses trello to manage purchases request of materials from our technicians and engineers and we would like some way to automatically add a random or sequencial number in each card to quickly identify each request when asked

Welcome, I would suggest using either the card number of Card ID automation variables

You could have an automation that says,
When a card is added to the board, rename the card to "REQ{cardnumber} - {cardname}"

but I wanted to see it once in the board with out going inside the card.
I've been trying to set up an automatic system in Trello where a numeric custom field (let's call it 'Card#') increases by one every time a new card is added to the board, regardless of who adds it.
