What GearChain is
Inventory tracking built on two things most teams already have: barcodes and spreadsheets. You scan items with a phone and the counts land in a Google Sheet or Excel file.
It also handles asset registers, labels and AI questions about stock.
What you can do with it
- Scan barcodes to count stock
- Track assets and tools
- Sync counts into Sheets or Excel
- Print labels for items
- Build simple no-code inventory apps
- Ask questions about stock levels
Who it is for
- Warehouse and operations teams
- Manufacturing businesses
- Schools and nonprofits managing equipment
- Teams already tracking assets in spreadsheets
What to watch out for
- Inventory accuracy depends on scanning discipline, not the software
- Spreadsheet structure and permissions need designing first
- Formal financial stock counts still need a review process
- Check how many users and scans your plan allows
