Product · The Logbook

Who has it. When it’s due. Who signed.

Check gear out to people with due dates and signatures, reserve ahead, transfer between locations - who has what becomes a record, not a memory.

The Logbook - check-outs, check-ins, reservations and stock adjustments, each with who did it and what's overdue.

The ladder was here last week. Someone took it to the other site - or was it the van? Nobody wrote it down, so now you’re texting three people to find one thing you already own.

ItemTally remembers so you don’t have to.

How it works

Three steps, hand to record.

1
Hand it over
Pick a person, set a due date, take a thumb signature right on the phone. Thirty seconds, and it’s theirs.
2
It’s on the record
Not in someone’s head, not on a whiteboard - a dated entry with a name against it that anyone on the team can see.
3
Check it back in
Scan it home when it returns, or glance at what’s overdue and send a gentle nudge before it walks off for good.
The part nobody else explains

Custody, not commerce

Most inventory tools are built to track what you sell and who owes you money. ItemTally tracks something plainer and more useful for a working team: who has the drill. When a person is holding something, it shows in violet - a person has it - never confused with stock on a shelf. Thumb signatures on checkout, and reservations with real conflict detection, are things most tools simply don’t have, because they were never built for gear that walks around.

What the Logbook holds

Every handover, on the record.

  • Check-out and check-in, by scan or by tap.
  • Due dates with overdue nudges before things wander off.
  • Thumb signatures captured right on the phone.
  • Reservations with conflict detection for shared kit.
  • Transfers between locations, van, and site.
  • Full movement history for every single item.

Violet means a person has it

Colour carries meaning across ItemTally: violet is “someone’s got it out,” green is “here and available.” Glance at a report or a shelf and you can read custody at a distance - no opening records to find out who’s holding what.

Honest answers

The questions people actually ask.

What if someone forgets to check it back in?
The item stays on their name and shows as overdue on its due date. You get a nudge, they get a reminder - no detective work, no “who had the drill last?” group chat.
Can I reserve something ahead of time?
Yes. Book gear for a future date and ItemTally flags a conflict if it’s already promised to someone else, so two people don’t turn up for the same ladder.
Is a signature required?
It’s optional per checkout. When it matters - expensive kit, shared tools, an audit trail you’ll want later - a thumb signature on the phone makes the handover real.
Can I see everything one person has out?
One tap on a person shows every item in their hands, with due dates and how long they’ve had it. Custody is a record you can read, not a memory you hope holds.

Hand out one thing and watch it stay findable.
