Working offline

No signal in the warehouse? Keep scanning.

Every scan is saved to the device first. A quiet sync queue uploads it the moment there is a connection, and a status bar at the top of the screen says whether everything is on the server or something is still transmitting. Reception is the system's problem, not the worker's.

Device first

The scan is written locally before anything else. The network can join whenever it feels like it.

Every 15 seconds

The sync queue retries in the background, again and again, with nobody pressing anything.

In plain sight

The status bar tells the truth: green when everything is on the server, amber while something still transmits.

On screen

The worker always knows the sync state. Always.

These are the states the screen actually shows, in the app's own words. No guessing and no "I think it saved".

  • "All counts saved successfully"

    The normal state, with a small green cloud: everything scanned is already on the server, and the manager sees it live from the office.

  • "Transmitting count data..."

    No signal? The bar stays amber and keeps trying in the background. Keep scanning: everything accumulates on the device and uploads the moment the connection returns.

  • "One moment, syncing data with the server"

    At the start of the day the catalog comes down to the device, with a progress percentage. That is why search and autocomplete keep working with no network afterwards.

The small print

Built offline-first, not patched after the fact.

  • Saved locally first

    Every action is written to the device before it tries to upload

  • A stubborn sync queue

    Retries in the background and reports if something is stuck

  • Search with no network

    The catalog is stored on the device, autocomplete works offline

  • The engine needs no server

    Barcode decoding runs on the device itself

  • Several workers in parallel

    Everyone works on their own device, it all merges on sync

  • No app store required

    Runs in the browser as a PWA, add to home in a tap

  • Older devices too

    Does not require the latest iPhone or Android generation

  • Managers see it land

    The moment sync runs, progress appears on the management screen

Questions

What people ask us

What if the phone dies mid-count?

Whatever was already saved on the device uploads the moment the phone is back on and connected. You continue from where you stopped.

How long can we work without a connection?

Hours of continuous work. Scans accumulate on the device and upload in one go when there is signal, even if that only happens at the end of the shift.

How do we know everything really uploaded?

The status bar at the top of the screen. When it is green and says all counts are saved, that is exactly what happened. While anything is still transmitting, the bar stays amber and leaves you in no doubt.

Two workers scanned the same area offline. What happens on sync?

Everything uploads and merges into the same count, and the system's duplicate alerts flag what is worth checking. Better than finding it in the report.
