Product · Counts & alerts

Count without a clipboard. Get told before you run out.

Freeze a count sheet, walk the shelves (offline is fine), review only the variances, and post - the ledger squares itself. Plus low-stock, expiry and warranty alerts.

The Today page - items below their reorder point and locations that haven't been counted, gathered on one page.

A stocktake means a printed sheet, a pen that dies halfway, numbers that shift while you count, and an evening of typing it all back in - by which point three of the totals are already wrong.

ItemTally freezes the sheet and does the maths.

How it works

Freeze, walk, post.

1
Freeze a shelf
Start a count session and ItemTally snapshots the expected numbers. From that moment the sheet holds still while you walk.
2
Walk it with the phone
Scan or tap your way down the aisle - offline is completely fine. No clipboard, no re-keying at a desk afterwards.
3
Review the variances and post
See only what disagreed with the snapshot, decide, and post. The ledger squares itself; the numbers are true again.
The part nobody else explains

Counts that survive contact with the shelf

A count that keeps moving while you count it isn’t a count. ItemTally freezes the session, you walk it, you review only the variances, and you post - and each difference lands as a movement, so the numbers add up instead of overwriting each other. When stock needs attention it shows in amber. And the alerts stay honest: they notify, they don’t orchestrate. No workflow engine, no notification centre to babysit - just one nudge email and a calm weekly digest.

Counting & alerts, plainly

Enough to stay ahead, no more.

  • Frozen count sessions that hold still while you walk.
  • Variance-only review - see what disagreed, not everything.
  • Low-stock thresholds, set per item or per folder.
  • Expiry, warranty and service-due date alerts.
  • Overdue-return nudges for gear that’s out too long.
  • One weekly digest - the quiet summary, not a firehose.

Amber means stock needs attention

When something drops below its threshold it turns amber across the app - a colour you can read at a glance, on the shelf view or in a report. Brand green never signals a warning; a warning is always its own colour, so you’re never guessing what’s urgent.

Honest answers

The questions people actually ask.

Does counting need a signal?
No. Freeze the session, put the phone in aeroplane mode if you like, and walk the cold store or the back shelf. Everything holds locally and posts when you reconnect.
What happens to the variances when I post?
Each difference becomes a movement on the ledger, so the count adds up instead of overwriting history. You get a true, dated adjustment - not a mystery number.
Can two people count at once?
Yes. Two phones on the same frozen session don’t collide, because every scan is a movement that adds up rather than last-one-wins. Split the aisles and meet in the middle.
Will it spam me with alerts?
No. Alerts notify, they don’t orchestrate. One nudge email when something crosses a threshold, and a single calm weekly digest. There’s no notification centre to mute.

Freeze one shelf and count it before lunch.
