Repair Logs & Condition Tracking

Built-In Barcode Scanning

Scan existing manufacturer barcodes or generate printable Code 128 labels for case tags and instrument bodies using standard desktop handheld USB or Bluetooth scanners.

Bulk Editing & Quick Import

Migrate your existing Excel or Google Sheets database in one click. Update multiple locker assignments, conditions, or manufacturers simultaneously with bulk operations.

District Audit & CSV Reporting

Generate instant inventory audit reports for school district administration, insurance replacement valuations, and end-of-year collection checklists.

Why Move Beyond Spreadsheets?

Google Sheets and Excel work for basic lists, but fail when tracking multi-year checkouts, locker numbers, and repair histories across hundreds of students.

  • No accidental overrides: Role-based permissions prevent student assistants or staff from erasing formulas.
  • Full audit trails: Automatically see who assigned an instrument, when it was returned, and its condition changes.
  • Mobile-ready in the band room: Pull up serial numbers and lock combinations directly on your phone or tablet.
