THE digital inventory management system

Click on a topic to find out more.

With Inventory ONE, you can see at any time where which tools are located, who is currently using what, who has reserved what and when, or whether maintenance or inspection dates are due for certain tools. You can also view your stock at all times.

Inventory ONE also gives you a very good overview of your consumables, such as adhesive tape, screws, nails, etc., at all times. When the specified quantity of a material is reached, you are automatically reminded via the application and by e-mail of what needs to be reordered.

To ensure that your tools are always in good working order, appointments can be created so that you do not miss any maintenance or prescribed inspections. You are automatically reminded of the appointment in the app and by email if you wish.

With Inventory ONE, every authorized person has access to information about the tools. In addition to the overview, reservations and appointments, you can also upload information (such as user manuals) for a device, which can be accessed anytime and anywhere.

Inventory ONE can process scanned QR codes. Although these are not absolutely necessary, they save you a lot of time if you want to enter new tools or retrieve data on existing inventory. Inventory ONE offers QR codes that are ideal for this at a reasonable price (More info). Inventory ONE can also process the existing barcodes on your tools.

Assignments in Inventory ONE are very flexible. Tools can be assigned not only to colleagues and employees, but also to external persons, projects, locations and rooms. You can also flexibly set the access rights in Inventory ONE. Employees can independently pass on and exchange tools with each other and document this in a verifiable manner. For example, if you assign a tool to an employee, this action is actively confirmed by the employee concerned. The same happens the other way round when a tool is returned.

When tools are issued or loaned out, you can quickly find each individual piece of equipment using our detailed search function. You can also specify whether employees can search the entire equipment or only for individual tools assigned to them.

To organize your tools in the best possible way, you need the option of reserving individual devices directly in the system. This is exactly what Inventory ONE makes very easy to do. This practical function will help you to plan the use and availability of tools well. This avoids hassle and no one will be unpleasantly surprised if, for example, a piece of equipment that you urgently need is not available.

If certain tools ever cause problems or become damaged, employees can record this directly in the app. In their overview, those responsible can always see whether a new problem has been reported and can therefore react in good time. This prevents the problem from being remembered until someone already needs the tool.

With Inventory ONE, you can see the "CV" of all tools. How long has it been in your company, who has used it and for how long, and what was its overall utilization? When was it broken, when was it repaired and when was it serviced? This information is not only helpful as proof, but also when planning the purchase of new tools. Our software makes the complete documentation of your equipment very easy.

For the initial equipment of new employees or for recurring projects, Inventory ONE supports you in issuing the required tools. In this case, lists can be defined as to which devices are issued as standard. This saves you a lot of time with recurring tasks.

Have you already recorded your tools in a large Excel list or have you been using other tool management software? In this case, we will be happy to help you move to Inventory ONE. With our data import, the switch is usually straightforward. And if the existing data is a little more complex, we will be happy to help you with the import.

Inventory ONE was developed to make the day-to-day work of trade businesses much easier. It may make sense to integrate the application into your IT environment. If you need interfaces for this, please contact us.

Inventory ONE is currently available in German, English, French and Italian. Other languages will follow. If you urgently need another language, please let us know. Our experts will try to help as quickly as possible.

Why craft businesses need digital inventory management

Every minute counts in the trade - lost time due to missing tools or unclear inventories costs money. Without a structured tool inventory overview, duplicate purchases, unplanned downtime and confusion about who is using which tool arise. Inventory management in the trade is therefore not an administrative expense, but a direct investment in the efficiency of the business. If you know your inventory, you can plan better, react faster and handle projects more smoothly.

Maintaining an overview quickly becomes a challenge, especially in companies with several employees or locations. Manual lists are prone to errors, quickly become outdated and are hardly usable in the field. A digital solution completely replaces paperwork and makes all relevant information accessible at any time and from anywhere. This not only relieves the burden on management, but also on each individual employee in their day-to-day work.

Each tool assigned.

Tool management in the trade - from recording to assignment

Clean tool management in the trade begins with the complete recording of all tools - from cordless screwdrivers to saws. With Inventory ONE, every tool is recorded in a digital inventory list for the trade business and is given a unique identifier, either by QR code or barcode. This makes it possible to find out in seconds where a tool is located, who last used it and whether it is due for maintenance. Manual searching is completely eliminated.

The flexible assignment function of Inventory ONE is particularly practical: tools can be assigned to employees, projects, vehicles or locations. The transfer between colleagues is documented directly in the app and actively confirmed by the respective employee - this creates a seamless Proof history. In the event of damage, employees can report a problem directly in the app so that those responsible can react immediately.

No more bottlenecks.

Consumables and stock levels always in view

In addition to tools and equipment, materials management is also a key issue in day-to-day operations. Screws, adhesive tape, seals or sandpaper - consumables disappear quickly without anyone noticing in time. With Inventory ONE, you can set a minimum quantity for each material: if you fall below this, you will automatically receive a reminder via app or email. This helps you avoid unplanned bottlenecks and unnecessary rush orders.

With Inventory ONE, equipment management for the skilled trades includes not only tools and consumables, but also vehicles and other equipment. All stocks are managed centrally in a clear database and can be viewed by all authorized employees. This reduces queries, avoids duplicate orders and ensures that everyone in the company is always up to date.

Inventory ONE is a trade inventory software that was developed from the outset together with active customers from the trade sector. The result is a solution that is precisely tailored to the requirements of day-to-day operations - intuitive to use, requiring no prior knowledge and no time-consuming training. The software runs on any PC, Mac, tablet or smartphone and is also available as an app for Android and iOS. This means that device management is also possible on the move or directly at the customer's premises.

All data is stored exclusively in German data centers and complies with the requirements of the GDPR. Inventory ONE also offers an exceptionally strong Price performance ratio - over 10,000 users from various industries already rely on the software. Individual requirements, interfaces to existing systems or data import from Excel can also be implemented on request.

Especially for trade.
