Visual inventory tracking app for small businesses. QR code and barcode-driven asset and inventory management — simple enough for any team member to use.

Best-in-class for very small manufacturers and job shops that need something better than spreadsheets but simpler than a full inventory system. QR code tracking, photo documentation, and mobile scanning make it usable for any employee. Not for anyone needing BOMs, work orders, or ERP integration.
