The material loop, as a wiring diagram
Your business is a circuit. Scanwiz closes it.
Material flows from the wholesaler to the stockroom, into the van and onto the job site – tools and test meters come back. Miss a booking along the way and the circuit is open: parts disappear, due dates slip. Click through the five stations of the electrical inventory management software.

How Scanwiz structures your business
Where we fit
Your contractor software writes the invoice. Scanwiz knows what’s in the van.
Anyone looking for electrical contractor software usually ends up with job management tools: quotes, jobs, invoices, time tracking. Stock there is often just a number on the office PC, and the van doesn’t show up at all. Scanwiz is the electrical inventory management software for exactly this part – with or without contractor software alongside.
Typical in contractor software
- Quotes, jobs and invoices
- Time tracking and dispatch
- Item master from wholesaler catalogs
- Stock as a number in the office
With Scanwiz in the stockroom and the van
- Stock per stockroom, van and box
- Withdrawals by scan on the job site – even offline
- Cable by the meter, drum by drum
- Tools and test meters with assignment and inspection date
- Handovers with digital signature
No contractor software? For stockroom, vans and tools, Scanwiz on its own is enough – no rollout project.
Already using one? Scanwiz complements it: data via Excel import and export, REST API on the Business plan. Quotes, invoices and accounting stay where they are.
Cable & wire
Goods by the meter, finally under control.
The drum on the shelf won’t tell you how much is left on it. Scanwiz will – and lets you know before the last coil runs short on the job site.
- Every drum and every coil as its own batch – with a QR label on the flange.
- Withdrawals in meters, booked straight to the job site or project.
- Remaining length per drum, total per cable type – in the stockroom and the van.
- Minimum quantity across all drums: once it’s undercut, the cable type goes on the shopping list.
- Cut-off stocktake in the cable store via the app, differences booked right away.
Batches are included from the Growth plan up. Learn more: Batch management.

Maintenance & inspections
Every test meter. Every tool. Every due date.
Portable equipment, cord reels, ladders, test meters: in an electrical business, almost everything needs regular inspection – and is usually on the road. The electrical inventory management software reminds the person responsible in time, and you tick off the inspection right at the device.
- Interval per device in days, months or years
- Reminder with due date and person responsible
- Checklist on the phone, with photo and comment
- Several devices of the same type in one go
- Logbook per device, exportable for the inspector
To be honest
Scanwiz is electrical inventory management software – not a tester and not testing software. The readings stay there – you attach the report to the device as a PDF, and Scanwiz keeps track of the due date.
Your rules
Intervals depend on national rules, the manufacturer and how hard a device is used – you set them per device, and Scanwiz sends the reminders.
Proof on demand
Every inspection is logged with date, person and result – attach the report as a PDF and export the logbook for auditors or insurers.

Frequently asked questions
Electrical inventory management software – answered briefly.
What is electrical inventory management software?
Electrical inventory management software – an inventory app for electricians – records installation material, cable, protective devices, test meters and tools per location: in the stockroom, in every van and on the job site. With Scanwiz, every part gets a code and a history. Your team books withdrawals, handovers and inspections by phone, and missing parts land on the shopping list automatically.
Can I manage cable by the meter?
Yes. Every drum and every coil is created as its own batch with a length in meters. You book withdrawals in meters to the job site, and Scanwiz shows the remaining length per drum and the total per cable type. Batches are included from the Growth plan up.
Can I run every van as its own stockroom?
Yes. Every van becomes a location with boxes and bins underneath – nested as deep as you like. Locations and users are unlimited on every plan, you set minimum stock per location, and your team books transfers from the stockroom to the van by scan.
Does the app work in a basement or building shell with no signal?
Yes. The Scanwiz inventory app for electricians on iOS and Android has an offline mode: you scan and book without signal, and the data is transferred as soon as you’re back online.
Can I scan manufacturer barcodes?
Yes. Scanwiz reads EAN, Code 128, Data Matrix and QR codes – with the phone camera or a USB or Bluetooth scanner. Store the manufacturer code once alongside your own item number, and every scan recognizes the part from then on. For bins, boxes and tools, you print your own QR labels.
Does Scanwiz help with periodic inspections of electrical equipment?
With the organization, yes: Scanwiz keeps track of the due dates – an interval per device, a reminder to the person responsible, a checklist on the phone and a logbook you can export for the inspector. You set the intervals according to the rules in your country and the manufacturer’s instructions. The measurement itself is still done with your tester; you attach the report to the device as a PDF.
Does Scanwiz replace my contractor software?
No. Quotes, invoices and accounting stay in your contractor software. As electrical inventory management software, Scanwiz takes care of the stockroom, vans, tools and inspection dates. You exchange data via Excel import and export or, on the Business plan, via the REST API.
How do I keep track of tools and test meters?
Every device gets a QR code or NFC tag. By scan, you assign it to a person, a van or a job site – with a signature on the screen if you like. That way you always see who has what and since when.
How quickly is my business up and running?
You import items, categories, locations and opening stock via Excel. Then print labels, install the app and get going. From the Growth plan up, personal onboarding helps you get started.
How much does the electrical inventory management software from Scanwiz cost?
Starter costs $49 per month for up to 500 items, Growth $165 per month for up to 2,000 items, and Business is available on request; annual payment comes with a 10% discount. Users and locations are always unlimited, and you can try it free for 14 days – no credit card.
