On the shop floor

One shift in Hall 2

Is the torque wrench calibrated? When was the caliper last checked? Is everything back at shift end? Three questions, every shift.

  1. 1Petra · Tool crib

    Hand outFrom Premium

    Deniz needs a torque wrench. Petra scans the first one, and the app warns her: its calibration is overdue.

  2. 2Deniz · Maintenance

    Machine

    At the machining centre, Simon from quality asks when the caliper was last calibrated. Deniz scans the label.

  3. 3Petra · Tool crib

    Return

    End of shift. Deniz brings the torque wrench back: Petra scans it and taps Return.

  4. 4Petra · Tool crib

    Overview

    2 pm. Petra sees what is back, what is going for calibration, and when each gauge is due next.

Calibrated, checked, back. The late shift can start.

Sound familiar on your shop floor?

"Who had it last?"

The caliper from the tool crib hasn't come back. Early, late and night shift: everyone gets asked.

"Overdue, but still in the drawer"

The overdue torque wrench lies next to the checked one. You can't tell them apart.

"One person knows the list"

Gauges and due dates in a spreadsheet, certificates in a binder. When he's on holiday, nobody knows.

What Mango Inventory handles for you, day to day

01 · LabelingIn every plan

Every item gets a label

Collage: four items with QR labels and inventory numbers — a drill, a cable drum, a first-aid case and a tablet — next to them a hand scanning a label on a storage crate with a smartphone.
  • Stick the labels on — Pre-printed from us or straight from the app.
  • Just scan — Opens the item: who has it, where it is, since when.
  • For the whole team — Everyone scans with their own phone.

05 · StocktakingFrom Pro

Stocktaking in hours, not days

1:1 from the app

Counting in the Mango Inventory app on the iPhone: the camera image at the top with a captured label, below it the active room with its open items and, per row, “Not found” and “Confirm”, and under that the rooms already finished.
  • Count in the app — Scan the QR label or tap it.
  • Count less, finish sooner — Moved recently? Worth under CHF 500€500£500$500? Leave it out!
  • The app guides you through the tool crib, the halls and the machines — and shows what is still open.

Custom fields

Range on the caliper, rated torque on the wrench: your list holds what you need.

Item models

Ten identical torque wrenches, described once: each one still stands on its own in your list.

For maintenance, the tool crib and quality

What counts at the end of the year:

Budget

Know how many torque wrenches and gauges you have, and where they are. No second purchase just because one is missing today.

Accountability

No lock-in

Your data stays yours: export to Excel/CSV anytime, in full. Even if you switch providers.

Predictable cost

Public pricing, unlimited users. People on the shop floor who only scan and report cost nothing extra.

Frequently asked questions

What does it really cost?

Exactly what this page says: per 1,000 items or part thereof, unlimited users, no hidden modules. Example: 800 devices cost CHF 29€29£29$29 per month on the Essential plan. If your inventory grows past 1,000 items, the subscription adjusts automatically — you're notified by email first, and nothing is charged before your next invoice.

See pricing →
What counts as one item?

Every object you track individually — a drill, a projector, a chair. Anything you track as a quantity also counts as one item: 40 barriers are one item, not 40.

Can we try it for free — and what happens past 50 items?

Yes — every feature, with up to 50 of your own items, no credit card. Nothing gets lost, and nothing stops working: lending, stocktaking, editing, tickets — everything keeps running. Only new items beyond the 50 can't be added any more — that's the moment to upgrade: pick a plan, keep working, everything stays as it is.

Who is Mango Inventory not for?

Inventories below roughly 250 items. There, most teams keep track just fine with a spreadsheet — knowing who has what, what's missing and what's due only gets hard with more equipment. If scanning instead of searching is still worth CHF 29€29£29$29 a month to you, we'd be glad to have you. Above that, you're exactly who we built this for.

Can we schedule inspections and maintenance?

Yes: inspection and service intervals per item, with reminders and a record of what was done. If an inspection is overdue, a warning appears before anyone is handed the item. Maintenance is included in the Premium plan.

More on maintenance →
Can we keep calibration certificates with each gauge?

Yes. Every gauge has its own page in Mango Inventory, and the calibration certificate sits there as a PDF, on every plan. With a maintenance plan on Premium, the page also shows when the gauge was last checked and when it is due next. Anyone who scans the label with the app sees both, right at the machine.

We already have quality software. Why Mango Inventory?

Your quality software stays where it is. Mango Inventory answers the questions on the shop floor: who has the torque wrench, at which machine is the gauge, is it still in date? The two systems run separately. We move your existing list over once, for free.

How does lending work?

To lend an item, scan its QR code and pick the person; to return it, scan it again. The app always shows who has an item right now. If someone reports a defect at the scan, the next person to borrow it sees a warning.

Can we keep using our existing QR labels?

Yes. When we import your existing inventory list, the labels are linked to your items straight away. And when you record new equipment, you link an existing QR code with a quick scan in the app.

How much effort is the rollout, really?

One afternoon: import, labels, invite the team. Nobody needs training — anyone who can scan a QR code can check out items and report defects.

Docs: getting started →
Can we bring over our existing Excel list?

Yes — upload an Excel or CSV file, the AI maps the columns, you review and confirm. And every view exports back out completely, any time.

Docs: import & export →
Do we need scanner hardware — and is there an app?

No scanner hardware needed: a phone camera and the browser are enough, and you print QR labels yourself — or order them pre-printed from us. The app is available for iOS and Android.

Download on the App StoreGet it on Google Play
Docs: mobile app →
Where is our data stored?

On servers in Europe. All providers and locations are listed on the Trust & security page.

See Trust & security →
How do we get out again — and what happens to our data?

Every view exports completely as Excel/CSV, any time. You can cancel any time, effective at the end of the current billing month — in the app or by email. Whether you cancel or downgrade, everything stays stored, stays in your export and keeps working; features your plan no longer includes come back the moment it does. Nothing is deleted.

Docs: import & export →
How many users can work with it — and who may do what?

Everyone: users are unlimited on every plan, at no extra cost. Four roles cover permissions — from read-only viewer to owner — and responsibilities for tickets and orders are granted per person. Single sign-on and directory sync are available on the Premium plan.

What support do we get?

Support by email to kontakt@mangoinventory.com. You get a personal answer — no anonymous ticket system.
