The clipboard count,
rebuilt for the floor.
Tap to add a unit, a case, or a whole pallet. The counter rolls everything into one running total — with the unit math handled, the segmented ring filling, and your count saved every press. No spreadsheet, no scanner, no signup.
Switch the unit mode and tap a +5 or +25 · Total rolls up automatically · Persists in this browser
Six places a clean count beats a spreadsheet.
Anywhere stock has to be tallied by hand — and the system, the scanner, or the spreadsheet is the slow part of the job.
On the aisle
Cycle counts, pallet inspections, end-of-shift checks — switch between units, cases, and pallets as you walk the rackOn the floor
End-of-day stock checks, reorder counts, return-to-stock tallies — quick-add buttons cut tap time on the busiest SKUsIn the walk-in
Restaurant prep inventory, par-level checks, beverage counts — count cases of bottles or loose units, the math rolls up either wayDuring load-in
Tally pallets and crates as the truck unloads, switch to units for the loose stuff — confirm the manifest matches before signing Open tally counter →In the shop
Parts cabinets, fastener bins, consumables — count by the box for the big stuff and by the unit for what is left in the binAcross the whole sheet
Run one counter per SKU side by side in multi-counter mode — each one keeps its own ratios, totals, and quick-add row Open multi-counter →Four upgrades over pen and paper.
A clipboard does the job, but the math is on you. The browser version keeps the same one-tap workflow and adds the four things every count sheet needs.
Switch units, cases, pallets mid-count
Tap a full pallet when you spot one, drop to cases for the next shelf, finish in units for the leftovers. The counter knows the ratios you set, so every tap converts to the same total — no doing the multiplication on a calculator at the end.
Quick-add +1, +5, +10, +25
On a busy SKU, tapping +1 a hundred times is the slow part of the job. Hit +25 four times and you are done. Subtract buttons are right there for over-counts.
See the breakdown at a glance
A segmented ring shows the share of pallets, cases, and units inside the running total. Spot a count that's heavily skewed before you walk away from the shelf — you might have flipped to the wrong mode without noticing.
Auto-save and multi-counter
Every tap saves locally, so closing the tab or losing signal mid-aisle never costs the count. Open multi-counter mode to run one inventory counter per SKU, per shelf, or per zone — each with its own ratios and totals.
Online inventory counter vs the alternatives.
A clipboard, a spreadsheet, and a barcode scanner each have their place — and each has a moment where they're the wrong tool for a quick count.

Inventory counter questions.
What people ask about counting stock with the online inventory counter — modes, ratios, persistence, and how it stacks up to the alternatives.
Q.01 What is an inventory counter?
An inventory counter is a tool for tallying stock during a count — units, cases, or pallets — without the spreadsheet wrangling. Our online inventory counter handles the unit math automatically: set how many units are in a case and how many cases sit on a pallet, and every tap rolls up to a total in real time.
Q.02 How do units, cases, and pallets work?
You count in whichever unit makes sense — loose units, full cases, or full pallets — and the counter converts everything to a single total. Switch the mode mid-count to bump cases when you spot a full case on the shelf, then back to units for the leftovers. The segmented ring shows the proportion of each at a glance.
Q.03 Can I change the units-per-case and cases-per-pallet ratios?
Yes. Defaults are 12 units per case and 48 cases per pallet, but every product you count has its own packaging math. Open settings and set the ratios that match your SKU. The total updates immediately so you can verify before continuing.
Q.04 Does the inventory counter work offline?
Yes. Once the page loads, the counter runs entirely in your browser and persists every tap to local storage. Walk a warehouse aisle with no signal, finish the count, and the totals are still there when you reconnect.
Q.05 What can I count with the inventory counter?
Cycle counts, end-of-shift stock checks, retail floor counts, restaurant prep inventory, kitchen pars, garage parts, classroom supplies, event setup boxes, and anything else that comes in mixed unit sizes. The same tool works for a stockroom of 30 SKUs or a 10,000-unit cycle count.
Q.06 How is this different from a barcode scanner app?
A scanner app needs every item barcoded and a backing system to sync to. Our inventory counter is for the moments when you just need a clean count: when SKUs do not have scannable codes, when the system is down, when you are doing a one-off audit, or when a clipboard has always been the faster tool. No login, no setup, no integrations.
Q.07 Can I run multiple inventory counters at once?
Yes. Open the multi-counter view and run a separate inventory counter per SKU, per shelf, per zone, or per category. Each one keeps its own units, cases, pallets, and ratios — switch between them with a tap.
Q.08 Does my count save if I close the tab?
Yes. Every tap writes to local storage on the device, so the count is still there if you close the tab or your phone goes to sleep mid-aisle. Sign in with a free account and counts also sync across your devices, so you can start on a phone and finish on a laptop.
Tap. Roll up. No spreadsheet at the end.
A clipboard count, rebuilt for the device already in your pocket — with unit math, mode toggles, quick-add buttons, a segmented ring, and totals that save every press.
