BinTrackerPro
Keep every shop bin stocked before anyone has to ask — reps in the field, the warehouse, and a customer login with your name on it.
About this project
This isn’t an online store. A supplier stocks bins of nuts, bolts, and hardware at the customer’s shop, then comes back on a weekly route to refill them. Reps work that route. The warehouse picks against a live board. The customer asks for what they’re short through a page that looks like your company — not a generic login screen.
We’re building the first version with a hardware distributor. The next similar business can use it on day one: their catalog, their name, their people, fully separate from everyone else on the system.
The four parts look different on purpose. Someone running a warehouse board and a shop owner checking a phone for thirty seconds are not the same person. Underneath, it’s one system — so you aren’t juggling four logins that don’t talk to each other.
Why it isn't like the others
What makes it different
Your customers never see another company’s data
Every business on the system is walled off. A web address with your name on it is just the sign on the door. What someone can see depends on who they are, not which link they clicked.
The round works with no signal
A rep can stock, count, and write orders with the phone in airplane mode. It saves on the device right away, then sends itself when there’s signal. The app promises “saved on this phone,” never “already at the warehouse,” until it really is.
Two people can’t grab the same order
The warehouse board updates live. If two people tap “start picking” at the same moment, the second person is told who already has it — by name. No double-picks, no wasted walk down the aisle.
It looks like your company
The customer login wears your name. A higher plan can use your own web address. Catalogs can be imported from a spreadsheet — reviewed on the office computer before anything is saved.
The parts
Who uses it
Office
Company profile, catalog, customers, team invites, the weekly route, billing.
Warehouse
A live board. Claim, pick, pack. Shortages get reported, not stuck. Trucks are loaded last-stop-first, the way a truck is actually packed.
In the field
The round on a phone, including with no signal. Orders wait on the device and send themselves.
Customer login
What they have on the shelf, when it was last counted, a way to request what’s short, and a status that tells the truth.
One more thing
A few more details
- A truck is loaded back to front, so the first stop comes off first. Everything for one address rides together, whether a rep wrote it or the customer asked from their login.
- The four working parts are built. Reporting, and a smoother iPhone install for reps, are still ahead.
