App development
Inventory app development for shops and warehouses
Yes, Brightray builds inventory apps that handle stock counts, barcode scanning and low-stock alerts, on iOS and Android. It is a bespoke build quoted per project after a quick scope, usually live in about 6 to 10 weeks plus app-store review, and it turns any phone into a barcode scanner so you do not need to buy dedicated hardware.
- Scan barcodes with the phone camera to count stock in and out fast
- Live stock levels across locations, so you know what is where at a glance
- Low-stock alerts that flag reorders before you run out
- Stock-take mode that speeds up counts and reconciles against expected figures

Asked and answered.
How much does an inventory app cost and how long does it take?+
It is quoted per project after a scope, because price depends on locations, barcode formats and any system you need to sync stock with. Most builds run about 6 to 10 weeks plus app-store review.
Do we need special scanning hardware?+
No — the app uses the phone's camera as a barcode scanner, so any recent phone works and you avoid buying dedicated scanners. If you already own rugged scanning hardware, we can look at supporting it too during the scope.
