Can I use existing barcodes?

Yes. repleno recognizes EAN codes on manufacturer packaging and custom labels at the same time.

Where do I get barcodes?

Easiest option: use the EAN barcodes already on manufacturer packaging. They're already there. For custom labels: use the repleno label designer to create labels with barcodes, QR codes, bin locations, and other fields directly in the app. Pick a template, customize, print as PDF. Many suppliers also offer a label service, e.g. Sonepar (support.sonepar.de).

What if I entered the wrong quantity?

No problem. Stock levels can be corrected at any time. Open the item in the app, tap on the stock level, and correct the value. The change is instantly visible to your entire team.

Is this better than spreadsheet inventory with barcodes?

Yes — especially with a team. With spreadsheets you have to sync versions or wait until someone is at a PC to enter corrections. In repleno, the whole team sees stock live, every booking and every correction. No version conflicts, no waiting.

Can I do a digital stocktake with this?

Yes. With repleno, you can run a simple digital stocktake. Scan each item, compare expected vs. actual stock, and correct discrepancies directly in the app. No paper, no tally sheets, no manual data entry afterwards.

Can material sets work as a bill of materials (BOM)?

Yes. Material sets in repleno work like a digital bill of materials: Define once which items belong to a job or project. When you scan, repleno books out all components at once. Unlike a traditional BOM in a spreadsheet, there's nothing to maintain manually — stock levels update in real time.

Can I try repleno for free?

Yes. Once repleno officially launches, we set everything up together. Currently in pre-foundation.

An app is only as good as it gets used.

Tools don't get avoided because they're bad. They get avoided when they get in the way.

That's why good inventory management isn't measured by feature count, but by usage rate across the team.

Real world: Elektro Hoppe & Schubert GmbH

It wasn't more features that made the difference. It was that everyone books in the moment of withdrawal. At Elektro Hoppe & Schubert, stock used to be guessed at the end of the day — if at all. Today, the whole team scans every removal. The stock matches reality, and discrepancies show up immediately, not at the next stocktake.

“Since everyone scans on withdrawal, our stock levels are accurate. We used to guess at the end of the day – now we know.”
Timo Schubert, Master Electrician, Elektro Hoppe & Schubert GmbH, 32791 Lage / Lippe
