Sound familiar in your municipality?

"Who has the festival benches?"

Lent to the sports club — or to the village fair? The depot list says both. Nobody knows for sure.

"Which list is right now?"

Works depot, administration, and fire brigade each keep their own inventory list. Come audit time, none of them match.

"Missed another inspection…"

Ladders, trailers, defibrillators — inspection dates live on paper somewhere. Until the insurer or the auditor asks.

And that’s not all

Custom fields

Warranty for laptops, size for protective clothing: your list shows what you need.

Item models

24 identical radios, described once: each one still stands on its own in your list.

Containers

Case, cart, crate: contents follow the container — lend and move it as one.

Orders

An order instead of a phone call: “I need a drill” lands with you as an order.

Consumables

Gloves, paper, tape: you say how much has to be there, someone tops it up.

Notifications

What matters by email or push, the rest waits in the app until you have time.

Export

Any view as Excel or CSV, any time: your data stays yours.

History

Who had what, when? Every handout and return is in the item’s history, with person and time.

Unlimited users

Unlimited users, with directory sync for Microsoft and Google Workspace.

See it on your own inventory: a few rooms, a few items — then you will know whether it fits.

For town administration and depot managers

Whether municipality, city, utility, or fire brigade — what counts at the end of the fiscal year:

Budget

Know what the depot and the administration already own — stop buying duplicates. Budget requests backed by stock, not guesswork.

Accountability

Complete history and inventory count reports for the finance committee and the auditors — at the push of a button, not by asking around.

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. Caretakers and depot staff who 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 happens when we grow past 50 items?

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.

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.

We already have MDM (Jamf, Intune) — why Mango Inventory?

For everything your MDM doesn't see. MDM manages computers and tablets technically; Mango Inventory also inventories projectors, tools, instruments and furniture — and covers check-out, defect reports and stocktaking.

What can the AI agent actually do?

You connect ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot or any other AI app directly to your inventory — the agent finds items, assigns them, reports defects, creates orders and can even set up your whole organisation. It acts with your permissions, every change shows in the history as “(via AI agent)”, and access can be revoked at any time.

Docs: connect your AI →
What support do we get?

Support directly from the founder: you write to karim@mangoinventory.com and get a personal answer — no anonymous ticket system.
