SoftBo Inventory

A warehouse hub that fits in one hand and does not need a signal.

The catalogue, the counts, the deliveries in, the orders out and the map of the building, on one tablet. It is built for the place the signal drops — the back of the racking, a chiller, a container. Offline it is the record, and it reconciles when the signal comes back. Nothing waits for a connection.

Everything on one tablet, built for the place the signal drops. Offline it is the record, and it reconciles when the signal is back.

Free to start: 250 items, one location, one device. No account, no card, no trial clock. Buying here sends you a download link — the app itself installs from the App Store or Google Play.

Waiting to reconcile18 scans

Eight things, and the tablet is the only machine involved.

Scan with the camera, or with a scanner you already have

A paired ring scanner or gun works the same as the camera does.

Count one aisle or the whole building

And see what disagrees, sorted by what it is worth.

Book deliveries in and pick orders out

Receiving against what was ordered, and picking that knows the walk order.

Track batches with expiry dates, and serials one unit at a time

First to expire is first out, and a recall can name the boxes.

Draw the aisles, bays and shelves

And know what is on each one, with the pick walking them in order.

Print shelf, price and pallet labels

From the same catalogue you count against, so they cannot drift apart.

Count from several tablets at once, with no Wi-Fi between them

The tablets talk to each other directly. All Android, or all iPad — the two platforms’ own radios do not speak to each other, and the app says so before a count starts rather than letting you find out at the far end of the building.

Counts go back where your records already live, or nowhere, if that is the whole system.

A count is an observation, not an instruction. Disagreements go to a person when they are worth a person’s time, and are recorded when they are not.

What an edition may charge for, and what it may never charge for.

Nothing that makes a count accurate is behind a price. A free install counts as truthfully as a paid one; it simply counts less. The editions are about how much stock you have and how many people are on it.

Bought in the App Store or Google Play, under their terms, and refunded by them rather than by us — which is what the terms of sale already say. Buy a licence here instead and you get a download link to the same store.

Your floor staff read it in their own language. Ten of them.

German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Ukrainian and English — the application, not this website. Every button, every error, every column heading.

The stock list is a file on the tablet, and there is no copy of it anywhere else.

The database is encrypted on the tablet itself, page by page, with a 256-bit key that never leaves the device — held in the Keychain or the Android Keystore, generated at random, and not derived from anything anybody types. We cannot read it, lose it or hold it.

A key we cannot recover is a key we cannot recover for you either. That is the honest cost of it, and it is why the export exists: take a spreadsheet out whenever you like.

250 items, one location, one device, and no account to make. If it earns its place, the editions are seven and twenty-nine.
