For what you count, and what you lend.
Schools, workshops, studios and event crews each run inventory a little differently. Pick the one closest to yours and see it set up with your own kind of folders, gear and day.
- Churches and worship teams The tech booth, the hall store and the youth cupboard on one list. The insurer wants an inventory and the only list is from 2019. →
- Events and production crews Count the truck before it leaves. A missing cable at the venue is a show problem, found at the worst moment. →
- Facilities and building maintenance teams Spares above minimum in every plant room, tools and keys on a name. The replacement filter is in the other building, and the ladder is somewhere on site. →
- Film, media and journalism departments Kits booked for the shoot weekend, back by Monday. Three groups want the C70 on Saturday, and last week's kit is still out. →
- In-house AV, video and photo teams Every lens signed out, every one signed back. “Who’s got the 24-70?” gets answered in a group text at 8am. →
- IT help desks in schools and offices Every loaner on a name, with a date it's due back. The loaner shelf is empty and the spreadsheet says six are in. →
- Makerspaces, hackerspaces and school fab labs Know which members have the good tools, and when the PLA runs out. The last spool of black PLA went on a Tuesday night and nobody said. →
- School athletics, PE departments and sports clubs Every numbered shirt on a player's name, every ball bag counted. Fourteen home shirts went out in September and nine came back. →
- Schools Every department's kit on one register, and every loan on a pupil's name. Each department keeps its own spreadsheet, and the asset register is a year out of date. →
- Scout groups, guides and youth organisations The quartermaster's store on one list, every tent on a leader's name. Two patrol tents came back from summer camp wet, and one never came back at all. →
- Teaching labs, prep rooms and small research groups Equipment on a name, consumables on a minimum, calibration on a date. The class set of data loggers is short by three and the tips ran out mid-practical. →
- Theatre wardrobes, costume stores and props Every costume photographed, sized and traceable from show to show. The costume store is two thousand garments and one person's memory. →
- Tool libraries and libraries of things Every drill on a member's name, back on the shelf by Saturday. The paper ledger is three binders and nobody knows where the tile cutter is. →
- Trades and contractors Know what's on the van before you're on the job. Consumables run out mid-job; the van and the shelf disagree. →
Not on the list? It still fits. ItemTally is built for the job, not an industry: things you count, things you hand to people, things that need to come back.
A church sound desk, a maker space, a props department and a plumber’s van all need the same thing: to know what they have and who has it. Start with the product overview, or bring in the spreadsheet you already keep.
