Assetsy is an inventory app for small business. Add items by photo, track how much you have, and get an alert before something runs out, expires or sits too long. Alerts Before Problems Start Assetsy checks your inventory in the background and shows you what needs attention today. Each alert explains the problem in plain words and suggests one thing to do about it. Add Items in Seconds - Photo capture — AI recognizes the item and fills in the name, category and details - Smart import — bring in your current inventory spreadsheet as it is - Barcode search — scan a barcode to pull up the item you need What Assetsy Keeps Track Of - Low stock alerts, based on the minimum level you set for each product - Expiry dates on supplies, stock and anything else with a shelf life - Warranty dates on tools, equipment and devices - A daily summary of what needs your attention Inventory Count Count everything, or just one folder or tag. If you stop halfway, the count is saved and you can pick it up later. When a number does not match, Assetsy asks you to count that item again before you explain the difference. Every finished count is saved on its own and stays in your count history. Set It Up Your Way - Custom fields: Min Level, Purchase date, Expiry, Warranty, Barcode, Serial number, SKU, Product link, Notes, Attachments - Tags and folders to organize your inventory - Separate workspaces for different businesses or locations - Team members, each with their own level of access Made for Small Business Inventory Shops and online sellers tracking products and reorder points. Salons, clinics and beauty studios tracking supplies and expiry dates. Repair and service businesses tracking parts. Contractors and field teams tracking tools and equipment. Rental businesses tracking equipment out on jobs. Built for owners and small teams, without a warehouse behind them. Your Data Stays Available You can view and export your inventory at any time, on any plan. Plans Assetsy is free to use with a limited number of items.
