A dedicated warehouse scanner costs the better part of a month's wages, gets dropped twice a year, and does one job. Your phone has a better camera than any of them. This turns it into the scanner — and the whole job is on your feet, where it belongs.

A shelf, a box, a number. The bit in between — the walk to the terminal — is what disappears.
Where is this thing, and what is on this shelf. Answer both in under a second and most of the walking disappears with them.
Name, barcode, total on hand, and every location holding it with the quantity in each. If some units are counted but not yet placed, it says so rather than leaving you to subtract two numbers.
Everything on it, how full it is, and how much room is left in your own unit of measure. A shelf nobody has measured says "not measured" — never "0 free", because those are opposite facts.
You print your own shelf labels, so a bin code can collide with a supplier's barcode. The app shows both and lets you pick. A scanner that guesses right almost every time is worse than one that asks.
Every warehouse has them — steel racking, the chiller, the back wall, the far end of the yard. Scanner software that fails there teaches your staff to write numbers on paper and key them in later, which is the exact habit you bought the software to end.
Put-aways, picks, moves and counts are saved on the device and sync when signal returns. They survive the app being killed and the phone being restarted.
The harder problem is the one nobody sees: the request that did reach the server, whose answer was lost on the way back. The phone cannot tell that apart from "never arrived". Retry and you post the stock twice; don't and you lose the work. So every operation carries a key, and the server remembers it — a replay appliesexactly once, no matter how many times it is sent.
Aisle C5 · blind count
The backlog of what's arrived but isn't placed yet, worked out from your actual stock rather than a list someone maintains. The app suggests a spot; you scan the shelf label to confirm it. That scan is what makes it a record of where the stockis, not where somebody meant to put it.
Say what and how many, and it plans the route — oldest stock first, or earliest expiry for anything batch-tracked. Took fewer than the plan said? Type the real number. A short pick is a fact, not an error.
Scan where it's coming from, scan where it's going. Both ends, every time — that's the difference between a warehouse you can search and one you have to remember.
Walk an aisle, scan a shelf, scan each item, type the number. Blind by default, because showing the counter the expected figure measures whether they agree with the system rather than what's actually there.
Against a purchase order or without one — goods turn up unannounced and a screen that refuses them just sends the delivery to a clipboard. Batch and expiry are asked for only where that product is actually tracked.
What you just received is already in the put-away queue, one tap away. That handoff is the whole reason receiving and warehousing belong in one app instead of two systems and a walk.
The button only appears once the phone confirms its hardware accepted it. A torch toggle that silently does nothing teaches people the app is broken.
A Zebra or Honeywell in its normal mode is a keyboard — it types the barcode and presses enter. The app understands that, so phones and handhelds can share a floor instead of you choosing.
Labels get torn, scuffed and shrink-wrapped. Manual entry never goes away, because an operator who can't key a code in goes back to paper.
Big targets, big numerals. It's read while holding a box, under warehouse lighting, not leaned over on a desk.
Someone who only counts gets looking-up and counting. Nobody is shown a button that refuses them — and the server enforces it regardless of what the app shows.
Switchable from the top bar, not buried in settings, because a picker who lands in the wrong language needs to fix it without finding a menu.
The honest status. The app is built and running against a real warehouse's data — what's still ahead is the store paperwork, not the software.

Camera scanning needs the app. On a laptop or an iPad browser the phone camera isn't available to us, so the web version is keyboard and hardware-scanner only — we'd rather say that than have you find out in an aisle.
No. The camera reads EAN, UPC, Code 128, Code 39, QR and DataMatrix on the device itself — no network round trip per scan, which matters in a building with dead zones. And if you already own handhelds, the app runs on them too.
The Warehouse Management app, with your zones and locations set up. The phone app is a window onto that — it doesn't hold a separate inventory of its own.
Both see the same live data, and each records what they actually did. Where the numbers disagree, your placement totals and your stock totals stop matching — and the system reports that gap rather than quietly picking a winner.
Yes, and this is the important part. Recording what you counted and posting the difference are separate steps. If the units are all in the building but on the wrong shelf, the app settles it. If stock is genuinely missing or genuinely found, that's a stock adjustment and it goes through your inventory system properly, so valuation and costing stay right.
Yes. If you run a 3PL or bonded warehouse, each customer's stock stays theirs, and staff only see the customers they're allowed to see. Your own goods are always visible — an empty owner means it's yours, not somebody's secret.
The download is free and there's no separate mobile seat — it's your normal plan. See pricing.
