Add your first supply

Once the app is installed and your first location is set up, scan the first item — or enter it manually with the Add Supply dialog.

1. Tap the Scan tab at the bottom of the screen and point the camera at a GS1-128 barcode, DataMatrix, or UPC label. The app captures it automatically — no shutter button. The product card that appears lets you confirm the location, quantity, and save.

2. To add an item by hand, open the Inventory tab and tap the + FAB. The Add New Supply dialog appears.

   123

3. Enter the GTIN (1) — the 8, 12, 13, or 14-digit barcode from the manufacturer — followed by Product Name (2). Quantity defaults to 1; bump it if you're stocking a case. Manufacturer, category, lot number, and expiration date are optional but enable smart filtering and FEFO dispensing once they're set.

4. Tap Add Supply (3). The item appears in your inventory list immediately and starts contributing to expiration and low-stock alerts.
