SmartSuite Library Stocktake
So smart, it counts
stock for you.

Scan every item in your collection using any device, keep the library open throughout, and let SmartSuite Library reconcile everything in real time. Automatic reports included.

SmartSuite Library - Stocktake Module

Your library stays open while you count.

Most library systems require you to freeze stock and shut the doors. SmartSuite Library doesn't. Scan one section at a time or your entire collection in one go, keep circulating books normally, and SmartSuite Library reconciles everything in real time.

Works on any smartphone, tablet, or laptop - no apps or special hardware required. Full RFID ready.
