Availability status in real time

Each item of equipment shows its current status: available, issued, undergoing maintenance or defective. Before a catering assignment, you can see immediately whether all the required equipment is available or where something is still missing.

Plan expenses for appointments & assignments

Assign equipment to a specific date. This helps you avoid double bookings: the same equipment cannot be scheduled for two events on the same day.

Track returns automatically

Set a return date when issuing. Overdue returns appear automatically in the dashboard. No more manual inquiries.

Recognize losses at an early stage

Operating resources that have not been returned are noticed after a configurable period. Losses become visible before they appear as a difference in the next inventory.

Functions that really help

THE resource management system for your catering business

Click on a topic to find out more.

With Inventory ONE, you can see at any time where which equipment is located, who is currently using what, who has reserved what and when, or whether maintenance or inspection dates are due for certain devices. Your stock is also always visible.

Inventory ONE also gives you a very good overview of your consumables, such as disposable gloves, napkins, washing-up liquid, 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.

Appointments can be created to ensure that your equipment is always in good working order so that you do not miss any maintenance or prescribed inspections. You will be 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 equipment. In addition to the overview, reservations and appointments, you can also upload information (such as operating instructions) 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 equipment 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 equipment.

Assignments in Inventory ONE are very flexible. Inventory 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 equipment among themselves and document this in a verifiable manner. For example, if you assign a device to an employee, this action is actively confirmed by the employee concerned. The same happens in reverse when the equipment is returned.

When equipment is 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 devices assigned to them.

To organize your equipment 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 equipment 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 devices cause problems or are 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 device.

With Inventory ONE, you can see the "life cycle" of all devices. 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 equipment. 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 operating resources. In this case, lists can be defined which operating resources are issued as standard. This saves you a lot of time with recurring tasks.

Have you already recorded your operating resources in a large Excel list or have you been using other software to manage your operating resources? 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 somewhat more complex, we will be happy to help you with the import.

Inventory ONE was developed to make everyday work in the hospitality industry 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.

From the field.

Practical example: Event catering with weekly outdoor operations

An event caterer from Hamburg supplies several corporate events and weddings every week. The problem: equipment was scheduled several times for the same date, returns came too late, and before each major event there was a hectic count of what was available. Since the introduction of Inventory ONE, each item of equipment is issued digitally before use and assigned to the date. Double allocations are immediately visible. Returns are confirmed by QR scan on arrival. Preparation for an event now takes 20 minutes instead of two hours.

Our Customers are Enthusiastic and you will be too.

Over 10,000 satisfied users already rely on our solution.
