Built for how you work

One inventory tool, every kind of stockroom

Skan doesn't assume you run a warehouse. Pick whichever of these is closest to yours — and if none of them fit, the workflow is the same whatever you stock.

Raw wax and jars in, finished candles out — one catalogue for both.

Track raw materials and finished goods side by side, no spreadsheet handoff
Count mode reconciles a stocktake in minutes when a batch comes out of the pour
Receive mode logs new wax, wicks and fragrance the moment a supplier delivery lands

How it works

Scan, pick a mode, done

Four modes cover everything that happens to a product — no separate app for stocktakes.

Lookup

Point the camera at a barcode or QR code to see what it is and what's on hand — nothing is recorded.

Count

Record an absolute counted quantity during a stocktake, reconciling what's really on the shelf.

Receive

Add quantity to stock the moment a supplier delivery or a finished batch comes in.

Issue

Remove quantity from stock when a part goes on a job or an item leaves for a sale.

Beyond scanning

Everything that happens after the scan

Skan is the operational backbone underneath the scanner — not just a barcode reader.

Locations & transfers

Run a warehouse, a van, and a storefront as separate locations, and move stock between them with a draft, issue, and receive flow.

Purchase orders & suppliers

Plan inbound stock with your suppliers and receive deliveries straight into the right location.

Sales orders & backorders

Build orders from products already in inventory, allocate stock, and scan-to-pick when it's time to fulfil.

CSV import & export

Bring an existing catalogue in from a spreadsheet, with per-row failure reporting if something doesn't match.

Roles & an audit ledger

Owner, manager, and staff roles decide who can change what, and every stock movement lands on an append-only ledger with reason codes.

Tax handling

Apply tax rates to order lines automatically, with per-product exemptions where you need them.

Offline-first

Works with no signal — a van, a market stall, a basement stockroom

Most inventory apps stop working the moment the connection drops. Skan doesn't: scans, counts, receipts, and issues all queue on the device and sync the moment you're back online.

01Every scan is written locally firstA durable queue on the device records the transaction before it ever needs the network.
02Sync runs in the backgroundOn reconnect, in the foreground, every 30 seconds idle, or with a manual “Sync now” — whichever comes first.
03Retries are safe to repeatEach transaction carries a client ID, so a retried sync never double-counts stock.
