The complete tour

Every feature, explained

Whether you run a warehouse, a workshop, a tool room, or a stockroom, here is everything Inventory Plus does — in the order your team will actually use it.

01
Item Tracking

A real record for every item you stock

Every item in Inventory Plus carries the details that matter on an invoice and on a shelf: name, category, SKU, supplier, unit type, cost per unit, current quantity, and a photo. Quantities support decimals, so 3.5 gallons of paint or 12.25 feet of pipe are recorded exactly.

Categories are fully customizable — start with the built-ins, then add whatever fits your business, from raw materials to retail goods to tools. The main list filters by category and searches by name, SKU, or supplier as you type.

Photos on every item

Snap a picture when you add an item so new team members grab the right box the first time.

Custom categories

Create the categories that match your business, and filter the whole inventory by them in one tap.

Reorder points

Set a minimum stock level per item. It drives the low-stock badge, the dashboard, and push alerts.

Notes and usage rates

Attach notes and standard usage rates so estimating a job from stock on hand takes seconds.

QR and NFC Scanning

The fastest path from shelf to screen

Typing is how inventory systems die. Inventory Plus generates a printable QR tag for any item or whole category — with your team logo in the middle — and can write NFC stickers you just tap with your phone.

Scanning an item tag deep-links straight to that item's adjustment screen, even if the app was completely closed. And tags aren't just for single items — tag a whole category, and one scan opens a batch adjustment page listing every item in it, ready to update together.

In-app tag generator

Create, share, print, or save item and category tags without leaving the app.

NFC read and write

Program off-the-shelf NFC stickers in one tap. Perfect for bins that get dusty or dark.

Camera QR scanner

A guided scanning frame locks on fast, even on curved or worn labels.

Reliable deep links

Links route correctly whether the app is open, backgrounded, or cold-launched.

Quantity Adjustments

Every change logged, attributed, and reversible

Stock changes in Inventory Plus are submissions, not silent edits. When a team member adds or removes stock, the app records who did it, when, how much, the quantity before and after, and an optional note — like which job it went to.

Took from several items in the same category? Scan the category tag instead. It opens a batch page listing every item in that category — set an add or remove amount on each one you touched, watch the new quantities preview live, then submit the whole batch in one tap. One project and one note cover all of them.

That audit trail is what makes the reports honest. It also means a mistyped adjustment can be found and corrected, and a member can edit their own recent submission if they fat-fingered a number in the field.

Add or remove flows

Big, fast controls with a live preview of the new quantity before you commit.

Batch category adjustments

One category scan lists every item in it. Adjust as many as you need and submit them all at once.

Projects and notes

Tie single adjustments or whole batches to a project so the month-end report explains itself.

Complete history

Every item shows its full activity feed — who, what, when, and how much.

Multi-Team Inventories

As many inventories as you have operations

A team in Inventory Plus is a fully separate inventory with its own members, items, settings, and logo. Run one for the main warehouse, one per location, one per client site — and switch between them instantly from anywhere in the app.

Everyone starts with a personal team, so the app is useful solo from day one. Invitations go out by email, arrive as push notifications, and joining takes one tap.

Instant team switching

The team selector lives in the header. Two taps moves you to a different inventory.

Email invitations

Invite anyone by email. They get a push notification and a pending invite in the app.

Team logos

Upload a logo per team. It shows in the app and in the center of generated QR tags.

Real-time sync

Changes appear on every member's phone within seconds, powered by live listeners.

Member Permissions

Give each member exactly the access they need

Not everyone on the team should be editing item costs. Team owners control per-member permissions: who can add items, edit item details, adjust quantities, manage members, or delete things.

Financial permissions go a level deeper — you can hide cost per unit and total stock value entirely from members who only need counts. They see quantities; the dollars stay with the office.

Granular roles

Toggle abilities per member instead of forcing everyone into rigid role buckets.

Financial visibility

Costs and stock values can be hidden per member and per team, app-wide.

Owner safeguards

Only the team creator can delete a team, and ownership actions are protected.

Enforced server-side

Permissions are backed by Firestore security rules, not just hidden buttons.

Notifications

The app taps you on the shoulder before it's a problem

Push notifications are wired to the events that cost you money: stock crossing its reorder point, team invitations, and inventory changes. Alerts are delivered by Firebase Cloud Messaging through server-side functions, so they fire even when nobody has the app open.

Tapping a notification deep-links to the exact item or invitation it's about. Each member tunes which notification types they want in settings.

Low-stock alerts

The whole team knows the moment an item dips below its reorder point.

Activity notifications

Optional alerts when items are added, edited, or adjusted by teammates.

Invitation alerts

New team invitations land as push notifications with one-tap accept.

Per-user preferences

Every member chooses which categories of alerts reach their phone.

Stock Value

Your shelf, in dollars, at a glance

Every item's value is its quantity times its cost per unit, and Inventory Plus keeps the totals live: per item, per category, and for the whole team. The stock value card sits at the top of the inventory so the number you'd want in a meeting is the first thing you see.

Because value is financial data, it respects financial permissions — teams can show it to everyone or keep it owner-only with a single setting.

Live total value

The team-wide stock value updates the moment any quantity or cost changes.

Category breakdowns

See which categories hold your money — useful before the next big order.

Per-item values

Item detail shows current value alongside cost, so dead stock stands out.

Permission-aware

Value displays follow the same financial visibility rules as costs.

Reports

Where did the stock go? Now you can answer.

Reports read the submission history — the audit trail your team builds just by using the app — and turn it into answers. Pick a date range, optionally filter by category, and see usage by item, by category, and by team member.

Totals distinguish stock added from stock used, so you can separate restocking from consumption. When it's time for the books, export the whole report to CSV and hand it to your spreadsheet.

Any date range

This week, last month, the whole quarter — reports run over any window you pick.

Three groupings

Slice usage by item, category, or member to find both heavy usage and odd patterns.

Added versus used

Restocks and consumption are totaled separately, so trends are readable.

CSV export

One tap exports the report for accounting, estimates, or client billing.
