SCAN · TAKE · PUT BACK · NEVER RUN OUT

The store room that counts itself.

Every item photographed, labelled and scannable. Your crew points a phone at the shelf, types how many they are taking, and the count is right — no clipboards, no guesswork, no discovering you are out of filters on a Friday afternoon.

What it does

Four jobs, done properly.

Everything here exists to answer four questions: what is on the shelf, who took it, what is running out, and what did it cost.

The shelves

Your shelves, laid out the way you already think about them

Start from a ready-made layout — plumbing, electrical, HVAC, turnover supplies — or build your own folders. Every item carries a photo, quantity, unit, minimum level, price and its own scannable code, so anyone can find it, count it and know when it needs reordering.

  • A photo is required on every item — no mystery boxes
  • Printable barcode + QR labels for every shelf
  • Minimum levels that shout before you run dry
An organised store room
Scanning a label at the shelf
The counter

Scan it, say how many, walk away

Pick "taking out" or "putting in" once, then scan. The item comes up with its photo and what is on the shelf; you tap a number and confirm. The count updates, the movement is logged against your name, and the camera is ready for the next label. A full restock run never leaves the scanner.

  • Works with your own labels or the maker's barcode
  • Refuses to take more than is actually on the shelf
  • Every movement stamped with who, what and when
The part nobody else does

Receipts read themselves back onto the shelf

Photograph the supply-house receipt and the line items are read off it, matched to what you already stock, and added back to the shelf — quantities and prices included. Quotes work the same way, parked as an expected delivery until the truck actually shows up.

  • Photo or PDF — receipts, invoices and quotes
  • Matches messy receipt text to the item you stock
  • Quotes tracked as expected deliveries until they land

It tells you before you run out, not after

Give any item a minimum level and the shelf watches itself through every scan, pull and delivery. When a job needs a part you haven't got, it waits — and the moment the stock lands, whoever is on the job gets told it's ready to pull.

  • Low-stock alerts in-app and by email, per item
  • Jobs park as “waiting on parts” instead of overdrawing stock
  • One daily digest instead of an inbox full of pings

Common questions

Everything people ask before signing up

How is this different from a spreadsheet? +

A spreadsheet only tells the truth right after someone updates it, and nobody updates it while holding a box. Here the count changes at the shelf, in five seconds, from the phone already in their hand — and every movement carries a name, a time and a photo of the thing that moved.

Does it work without signal in the store room? +

The scanner needs a connection to record a movement, so a dead spot means waiting or typing the code in later. Everything else — labels, photos, minimum levels — is set up in advance from anywhere.

Do I need a barcode scanner? +

No. The camera in any phone reads both the labels we print and the maker's own barcodes. If you already own a USB or Bluetooth laser scanner it works too — the labels are standard Code 128.

Can the whole crew use it? +

Yes — invite them by email. Owners and admins run the store room, members scan stock in and out, and viewers get read-only access. Every movement is logged against the person who made it, so a count that looks wrong can always be traced.

What happens when something runs out? +

Set a minimum level on any item. The moment stock dips below it — from a scan, a job or a delivery — an alert appears in-app and the owner gets an email. If a job needs a part you haven't got, the job waits and everyone gets told the day it arrives.

I already have a parts list in a spreadsheet. Do I start over? +

No. Import it as CSV in one upload — names, folders, quantities, prices, SKUs, barcodes and minimum levels all come across, and you can export everything back out any time. Your data is never locked in.
