How it feels

Box 007 from my workbench. One scan, please.

A real label on a real box: the app reads the QR code and shows contents, place and photo from the database.

01 · The database

Everything in one place. Kept on your PC.

At its heart is an Excel workbook for up to 250 boxes and 22 storage places. Enter place, spot, box type, category and contents, and the workbook picks the right pictogram from your keywords. One photo per box shows at a glance what’s inside.

  • Demo workbook with 42 sample boxes to try out
  • Traffic light: which boxes haven’t been checked for a while?
  • Printable 19-page PDF for pen-and-paper fans
  • English and German version in one purchase

02 · The labels

Print, stick, done.

Number, pictogram, category, place, contents and QR code. Only the boxes you tick get printed. Pick a size:

Euro containers 013 to 016 with 192 × 38 mm labels

Location labels for your shelves: scan the box, then scan the shelf label, and the new place is in your change list.

The QR code never expires: it only holds the fixed box number. If the contents change, there is nothing to reprint.

03 · The app

Your boxes in your pocket.

The app is included for free and runs in your browser at spantwerk.com/inventar. Load your database from OneDrive, iCloud or Google Drive, add the app to your home screen, done.

  • No account, no server: the app reads your file straight from your phone
  • Changes on your phone go into a list for your PC
  • English and German, for iPhone and Android

Photo & AI

Don’t feel like typing? Take a photo.

Box on the bench, photo from above. With the AI guide and the ready-made prompt, an AI of your choice writes the contents list in the workbook’s format, and you just paste it in. That’s how I listed the 32 boxes in my workbench in one evening.

The photo also goes into the database and shows in the app. For many boxes a paid AI plan is usually worth it; it is not included in the price.

Euro container life

The number stays. Wherever the box goes.

Euro containers move around: from the workbench to the shelf, from the basement to the car. With the Box Inventory you still know where each one is and what’s inside. The app even remembers which boxes are out and about. It works with cardboard boxes and other bins too.

FAQ

Good to know

Do I need Excel?

For the full experience, yes: Excel for Microsoft 365 shows pictograms, QR codes and photos right in the cells. Older Excel versions and LibreOffice calculate everything but show no pictures. I don’t recommend Google Sheets or Apple Numbers.

Where is my data stored?

Only with you: in your Excel file and in your phone browser’s storage. The app has no account and sends nothing to a server.

Can I edit boxes in the app?

Partly: “checked today”, move, away/spare, note and photo go into a change list in the app. You copy those into the database on your PC, and the app ticks them off on the next load. The app never writes into the file itself.

Can the whole family use it?

Yes. Put the workbook in a shared OneDrive, iCloud or Google Drive folder and every phone loads the same database.

Only for Euro containers?

No. The workbook knows 12 container types with sizes, from Euro containers to SAMLA and TROFAST boxes and moving cartons. The names only describe the size.

Excel® is a trademark of Microsoft, iPhone® of Apple, Android™ of Google, Avery® of Avery. SAMLA and TROFAST only describe box sizes. All names are used for explanation only. No affiliation, not endorsed or authorised.
