Enterprise›Why it matters

The item is in the building. Nobody can find it.

Most inventory systems track how many. The costly question on the floor is where.

Enterprise›TracStor Count

Tap the shelf. Scan the product. Fix the system.

Count the store with NFC tags and any barcode scanner, and see live where your count differs from your POS or ERP. Because every scan happens at a tagged location, TracStor shows not just what's missing but where the “missing” stock actually is.

  • Drop in your system's on-hand export; columns detected automatically
  • Phone camera, Bluetooth or ring scanner, NFC: no vendor app to install
  • Recount only the misses, then export the adjustments in your system's columns

Enterprise›How it works

Four steps, on the floor, starting the day you begin.

Address every spot

Lay out each room as nested places (building, room, bay, shelf) and draw it to scale on a floor plan. Print a QR label for every bay, shelf and tote on a pocket thermal printer, or use NFC tags.

Put stock away

Scan the tote, then type, say or photograph what goes in. The item is recorded at that exact address, with a time-stamped history.

Find it

Search by name, SKU, keyword or note. Results show how many are there and the full path down to the tote, with the spot pinned on the floor plan.

Keep it right

Count one location at a time, see the history of every move, and export everything to the systems you already run.

Enterprise›What's ready today

What works now, and what we're building with pilot customers.

TracStor's location engine is in daily use today. The team and multi-site features are being built with pilot customers, in the order they need them.

Ready today
  • Nested locations to any depth, with floor plans drawn to scale and colored areas
  • Stacks and containers inside containers
  • QR labels printed straight to Bluetooth thermal printers; NFC tags; existing barcodes
  • Add items by typing, voice (one item at a time) or photo
  • Search across names, keywords and notes, with full location paths
  • History on every bin and item; 30-day undo for deletes
  • Full export to ZIP with CSV spreadsheets and a JSON copy of everything
  • Works offline in basements, backrooms and cages
In the pilot
  • Shared inventory for a team, synced across phones
  • One workspace per store or site, with a view across all of them
  • Item catalog with SKUs, barcodes and quantities
  • Bulk import of locations and items from CSV
  • Export as Excel (.xlsx) and XML, alongside today's CSV and JSON
  • TracStor Count: counts by location reconciled against your POS or ERP, with NFC tags and any barcode scanner
Planned
  • Roles and permissions
  • Single sign-on
  • POS, ERP and CMMS connections (CSV first, then API)
  • Low-stock and par-level alerts
  • Dashboards: time to find, put-away, accuracy by site

Enterprise›Built for the floor

No scanners to buy. No IT project to start.

TracStor runs on the phones your team already carries. Labels print on pocket thermal printers that cost less than a pair of work boots, and NFC tags cost cents. A stockroom can be labeled and searchable the day you start.

Devices
Phones your team already has. Any camera reads the QR labels; most modern phones also read NFC.
Labels
Bluetooth thermal label printers (tested with 50 × 30 mm labels), PDF label sheets for any office printer, or NFC stickers.
Offline
Search and updates work with no signal: walk-in coolers, cages, basements and steel-racked stockrooms.
Your data
Export everything, any time, as CSV, .xlsx, JSON or XML. Your locations and history stay yours.

Enterprise›FAQ

Questions

Is TracStor Enterprise available now?

The location engine (places, floor plans, labels, NFC, voice and photo entry, search, history and export) works today. The team and multi-site features are being built with pilot customers. See what's ready today.

Does it replace our POS, ERP or maintenance system?

No. Those systems know what you have and what sold. TracStor answers where it is, down to the tote. It works alongside them: import items from a CSV export today, with direct connections planned.

What hardware do we need?

Phones your team already carries, plus labels. A Bluetooth thermal label printer per site is the fastest way to label; a PDF label sheet on any office printer or NFC stickers also work.

How much does it cost?

The pilot is free. After the pilot, TracStor Enterprise will be priced per site, and pilot customers keep founding-customer pricing.

Who owns the data?

You do. Every location, item and history entry can be exported as CSV at any time, during the pilot and after it.
