Track Inventory in Four Steps
Most stockrooms are fully in TRAIL within an afternoon. No spreadsheets, and nothing extra to buy.
Scan items in
Point your phone at any barcode or QR code and the product registers in seconds. No barcode? Add the item with a photo and TRAIL will generate a label for it.
Set minimum levels
Give every item a min level. The dashboard shows your low stock count, and push notifications warn you before anything hits zero.
Invite your team
Add up to 5 members: staff, family, a co-founder. Everyone updates the same inventory, synced across devices.
Track stock in & out
Every addition and deduction is logged with who did it and when. Review inflow and outflow by date when you plan reorders.

What is the best inventory tracker app for a small business?
The best inventory tracker is the one your whole team will actually use. TRAIL keeps it simple: unlimited items, barcode scanning, low stock alerts, photos and a shared audit log, without the price or complexity of enterprise software. Learn more →
Can I scan barcodes with my phone to track inventory?
Yes. TRAIL turns your phone camera into a barcode and QR scanner. Point it at any product barcode and the item registers in seconds, no extra hardware needed. Learn more →
How do I get notified when stock is running low?
Set a minimum level on any item in TRAIL. When available stock drops to that level, you get a push notification in time to reorder. Learn more →
Is an inventory app better than an Excel spreadsheet?
For more than about 50 items or more than one user, yes. A spreadsheet can't scan barcodes, can't send low stock alerts, and can't tell you who changed a number. An app removes the typing and keeps every device on the same count. Learn more →
Can I create and print barcode labels for my own products?
Yes. TRAIL generates a barcode label for every item you add. Download it, print it on label paper, and scan it later to pull the item up instantly. Learn more →
Can I use TRAIL as a home inventory app for insurance?
Yes. Add each valuable item with a photo, price and location, and TRAIL totals the value automatically. That gives you a documented home inventory for insurance claims, moving or decluttering. Learn more →
Does TRAIL work for reseller inventory like eBay or Poshmark?
Yes. Resellers photograph items, record the purchase price, organize stock into bins, and deduct items the moment they sell on eBay, Poshmark, Depop or Etsy. Learn more →
Can my team update inventory together?
Yes. Add up to 5 team members. Everyone works from the same live inventory, and the transactions log shows who added or deducted stock and when. Learn more →
Is the TRAIL inventory tracker app free?
TRAIL is free to download on the App Store and Google Play. TRAIL Premium unlocks everything at $4.99/week or $24.99/year, a fraction of what desktop inventory software costs.
