LVE is inventory management for workshops, businesses and job sites. Scan an article, book it in, out or to another place, and see at once what is where. No account, no server, even without a connection. SCAN INSTEAD OF TYPING The camera reads barcodes, QR codes and serial numbers, from EAN and Code 128 to Data Matrix and GS1. Zoom, flashlight and camera switching help with small labels. Scan a location label and the articles that follow are booked right there. YOUR STOCK UNDER CONTROL - Articles with photo, purchase and sales price, minimum stock, barcodes and accessories - Locations in areas, shelves and bins, each with its own QR label - Goods receipt, issue, transfer and stock count, stock per location - Serial numbers tracked through every booking - A search that understands typos, umlauts and abbreviations DELIVERY NOTES ON SITE Pick a recipient, scan the material, let them sign on the iPhone and share the delivery note as a PDF or send it by email. HAND OUT AND LEND EQUIPMENT Hand tools, laptops or measuring devices to employees and external borrowers, with condition, replacement value, accessories and photos. The borrower signs the conditions on the device and you get a handover protocol as a PDF. A return only counts once both sides have signed and every accessory is back.
