Dead stock
Every package is recorded on the day it arrives with its own weight, and the oldest one leaves first. Nothing quietly ages at the back.

Stop typingyour inventory.
Photograph a product, a whole shelf, or the receipt it arrived on. INVEDEX ONE reads what it is, the codes, dates, prices and weight printed on it, files every package as its own, and pushes the count you confirm to the store you actually sell through.

Effective against
Kills inventory problems dead.
Four things go wrong in almost every stockroom. Here is what the app actually does about each one — no more than that.
Spreadsheets
One ledger instead of a workbook per season. It still exports to CSV, Excel and PDF whenever your accountant asks for one.
Double entry
Count it once, here. The same confirmed number is what goes to your store — you never key the delivery in twice.
Sync chaos
Use it on the laptop and the phone. Sell a package at a market and it is that package that comes off the count back at the desk.
How it works
Four steps, and you only do three of them.
Photograph it (INVEDEX Scans)
One item, a whole shelf, a barcode, a packing label — or the receipt the delivery came in on. In a few seconds you get back what it is, any SKU, barcode, batch or processor codes printed on it, the date, the price if one is shown, and the net weight. Creased labels, sideways labels, freezer labels.
Put it on the scale
If the weight was not printed, or you would rather trust your own scale, type it. Each package keeps its own weight for as long as it exists — not an average, not a nominal size.
Check it before it counts
Nothing is written and nothing is sent anywhere until you have looked at it and said yes. A reading the service is unsure about says so rather than guessing quietly.
Send it to your store
The confirmed count goes to Wix, Square, Shopify, Squarespace, WooCommerce, Ecwid or BigCommerce. Or to a file in a folder, or to a web address, if you run something of your own.
The difference
Built for things that weigh differently every time.
Most inventory software counts units. That works until a unit is a piece of meat, a wheel of cheese, a fillet, a bag of coffee filled by hand — where two of the same thing are not the same thing at all.
Every package, individually
1.390 lb and 1.415 lb are two different packages, and the app knows which one you sold. Not a count of four, not an average of 1.4.
Priced either way
Sell by the pound or at a flat price per package. Fill in whichever one you actually use and the app works with that.
Weight bands where they help
Stores that cannot hold a decimal weight get sensible ranges instead, so a customer still knows roughly what they are buying.
Where your things live
Your ledger is yours. Literally.
It runs on your own device
The app is a folder you unzip and a window you open. Your inventory, your photographs and your keys sit in your own account folder — not pooled with anyone else's, not on a server of ours.
Store keys never leave
The keys that let it write to your shop stay on the device you typed them into. They are never synced between your own devices and never held by us — losing one costs you five minutes, not your shop.
Five things ever leave
A photograph you send to be read, a count you confirm and push to your store, a backup you point at a folder of your own choosing, and two small checks: whether your subscription is active, and whether a newer version of the app exists. Neither check carries anything about your inventory. Nothing else leaves by itself. The subscription panel in Setup sends what you type into it — your email at sign-in, a plan change, a cancellation — and nothing more.
Where counts go
It sends. It does not sell.
INVEDEX ONE is not a marketplace and never will be. It never takes a payment, never holds a cart and never stands between you and your customer. Your shop stays your shop; this keeps its numbers straight.
Wix
Counts whole packages, and reads your orders back so the app knows what actually sold.
Square
Holds a decimal weight, so a catch-weight cut can go up priced by the pound. Per location.
Shopify
Counts whole packages, per location, and reads orders back.
Also Squarespace, WooCommerce, Ecwid and BigCommerce: each counts whole packages, and all but BigCommerce read your orders back as well. Running something else? It will also write the same file into a folder on your own device, or post it to a web address your own software listens on. Adding a new destination does not change anything you see on screen.
Pricing at launch
You pay for INVEDEX Scans.
An INVEDEX Scan is one photograph read by the service. It is the only part that costs anything to run, so it is the only part that is metered. Counting, weighing, exporting, syncing and pushing to your store are not. Plans are billed monthly, and you can change or cancel from inside the app.

Join the betaPay as you go
Not sure how much you would use it? Pay for the scans you take and nothing else. There is no monthly fee, so a month you do not count costs you nothing at all — and nothing is bought in advance to go to waste.
INVEDEX Scans roll for 30 days. Whatever you do not use rolls into the next cycle and lasts 30 days from the end of it, capped at one month’s worth — so the most you can ever hold is double your plan. Counting in bursts is normal; paying for the quiet weeks twice is not.
Your plan’s scans are the limit. To carry on past them you switch extra scans on, and they are charged at your plan’s rate — the one shown on its card above. Leave them off and scanning pauses until the cycle turns; you are never billed for a scan you did not switch on. Either way you are notified as you approach the limit. Moving to a bigger plan takes effect straight away: you pay the difference for the rest of the month, and your allowance for the rest of the month grows in proportion. Moving to a smaller plan starts today too, as long as the scans you have already used this month fit it — counting any you carried in — your allowance becomes the smaller plan’s, and the unused days of the bigger plan come off your next bills rather than going back to your card. If you have already used more than the smaller plan allows, it starts when your billing month ends. Cancelling also takes effect when your billing month ends — and you can change your mind until then.
Pay as you go works differently. There is no allowance to run out of and nothing to switch on: every scan is 15¢, and a month you do not use it costs nothing. Nothing rolls over either, because nothing was bought in advance. Past 167 scans in a month, Light costs less than paying by the scan and gives you more — and the app tells you so on the day it happens, rather than leaving you to find it on a bill.
You can cap what you spend. Set a monthly ceiling when you subscribe, or any time afterwards in the app, and scanning pauses once it is reached rather than running past it — your bill never exceeds the number you chose. Everything else in the app carries on working, and you can raise the cap or remove it from wherever you happen to be standing. It applies to extra scans on any plan, not only to pay as you go.
Your data is always yours. If your subscription ends, INVEDEX Scans stop when it ends. Fourteen days later, adding stock, importing and store updates pause too, until you subscribe again. Your store’s stock numbers won’t change until you subscribe again, so change them in your store yourself if something sells. Viewing, selling, exporting, syncing and backing up never stop, and nothing you have recorded is changed.
Times are against entering items by hand at 45 seconds each — a real figure from real deliveries, not an estimate. Prices shown are for general release. The closed beta is invitation-based — apply below and we will write to you about terms before anything starts.
Questions
The ones worth asking.
Do I need to be technical to run this?
No. You install Node.js once by clicking the big green button on
its website, then you double-click a launcher and the app opens in your browser.
There is no terminal to type into and no file to edit.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Mostly. Viewing, counting, selling, searching, exporting and
backing up run on your own device without a connection. INVEDEX Scans and store
updates need one. A signed-in device also checks your subscription from time to
time; if it can’t, adding stock and importing carry on for at least four
weeks after its last check — unless the subscription is already set to end
sooner or a payment is outstanding — and the app shows the date. An offline
phone build is on the roadmap.
What happens to my inventory if I stop paying?
Nothing happens to it. It is a file on your own device and it
stays exactly where it is. You can keep opening the app, selling, exporting and
backing up for as long as you like. When a subscription ends, INVEDEX Scans stop
straight away. Adding stock, importing and store updates pause fourteen days
later, and come back as soon as you subscribe again. Your store’s stock
numbers won’t change until you subscribe again, so change them in your
store yourself if something sells.
Do you hold my store keys?
No, and that is deliberate. Those keys — Wix, Square,
Shopify, Squarespace, WooCommerce, Ecwid or BigCommerce, whichever you connect
— are permission to rewrite a live shop. They stay on the device you typed
them into, they are not synced between your own devices, and we never see
them.
Can I use it on more than one device?
Yes. Devices share one ledger through a folder you own — a synced
cloud folder, for instance — and what travels is encrypted. Which particular
package left is the whole point of the app, so two devices selling at once
resolve to the right package rather than just the right number.
My products do not vary in weight. Is this still for me?
Yes. Variable weight is what it does that others do not, but a
plain count of plain units is an ordinary thing for it to hold. If nothing you
sell is weighed, you simply never see that part.
When does it come out?
The closed beta comes first, with a limited number of businesses
across different kinds of stock and different stores. Apply below and you will
hear from us before general release.

We are looking for real businesses with real stock — a mix of what is sold, how it is sold and where it is counted. One field is required; the rest just help us build a sensible group.
