Read full description

StockVan is the simplest way for tradespeople to track what's in the van โ€” no spreadsheets, no guesswork. STOCK, SORTED Add every item in seconds by scanning its barcode. StockVan looks up the product automatically, so you're not typing names by hand. See at a glance what's running low, what's out, and what needs reordering โ€” color-coded so nothing slips through. BUILT FOR THE VAN, NOT THE OFFICE Log usage on the go, backdate entries to the day you actually used something, and keep a full history of what went in and out. Works offline โ€” no signal in the yard, no problem. SHARE IT WITH YOUR TEAM Invite your crew to a shared van so everyone works from the same live stock list. Assign roles, track who used what, and stop the "did we order more of these?" texts. STAY AHEAD OF LOW STOCK Set daily reminders for items running low or out, so you find out at home, not on the job. PLANS FOR HOW YOU WORK Start free. Upgrade to Solo for unlimited items, or Teams to bring your crew along โ€” pick the plan that matches your business, upgrade or downgrade any time. Built by two developers, Szymon Gabzdyl and Szymon Wlach, who got tired of guessing what was left in the van.
