Workshops & trades
Know what’s on the van before you’re on the job.
Consumables that run out at the worst moment and shared tools that wander - counted where you work, so the van and the shelf tell the same story.
Sound familiar?
Consumables run dry mid-job and expensive shared tools vanish between one person and the next. The van says one thing, the shelf says another, and nobody’s sure which is right until it’s a problem.
A day with ItemTally
Stock it, watch it, hand it over.
What does the work here
Four things a trade leans on.
Counts & alerts
Set a reorder point on the consumables that stop a job - screws, blades, sealant - and get an amber nudge before you run out, not after.
How it works →Scan & offline
Count on the van, in a basement, on a site with no coverage. Scans hold locally and sync the moment you’re back in signal.
How it works →The Logbook
Who’s got the impact driver? Shared, expensive tools tracked to a person, so they stop vanishing between jobs and mates.
How it works →Labels
A QR on every tool case and bin. One scan to check a tool out or knock a count down - no typing on a dusty phone.
How it works →No purchase orders, no invoices, no supplier accounts - that’s fine. ItemTally tells you what you’ve got and what’s running low; you order from your merchant the way you always have. It’s a count you can trust, not another accounts package. Here’s exactly what we will and won’t build →
Honest answers
The questions this crew asks.
Screws and drills in the same system?
Yes - that's the point. Quantity stock (fasteners, consumables, sheet goods) with minimums and low-stock alerts, and unique tools (the good drill, the laser level) with custody, in one register and one scan.
Each van needs its own stock levels.
Vans are folders flagged as vehicles, each with its own minimums per item. The Monday digest says which van is short before the crew rolls; a two-minute offline count from the driver's seat keeps it honest.
Who had the nail gun?
The Logbook answers by name: checked out to Jonas on Tuesday, due Friday, signed with a thumb on the phone. One tap on a person shows everything on their name - the offboarding conversation becomes a checklist.
Can we track warranty and service dates?
Custom date fields with alerts: 'warranty until' or 'next service' on any item, and the Today page raises it before the date passes - alongside low stock and overdue returns, one page instead of forty notifications.
