Features · Equipment inventory

An inventory that prices your quotes and packs your van.

Every camera, lens, light and cable in one place, with three day rates that cascade, cases that know what is in them, and an importer that reads a spreadsheet, a PDF, a photo of a list or a pile of receipts. This is the screen the rest of the app leans on hardest.

The KitSlate inventory, item by item — Camera and Lenses open, each item with its model, serial, case, day rate, cost, replacement value and age
Every item with its serial, case and day rate. The thin line at the right of each row is its status.
01 · ORGANISE — categories, locations, kits

Three ways your gear is organised.

Categories are the top-level grouping and every item is in exactly one. Locations are where a thing physically sits. Kits are named bundles with one blended day rate.

Cases are locationsTick Is this a case? on an item and it becomes a location other items live in, listed with a CASE tag. Pack by case on the gear list follows from this.
Status in one clickThe bar at the right of every row cycles in → out → faulty. Gear lists set it for you when you mark things packed and returned.
Search everythingName, serial, model, location and category, with every section expanding as you type.
Columns you can maskSerial, rate, cost and replacement value each show, mask to dots for screen-sharing, or hide.
02 · PRICE — three day rates

Fill in only the rates that differ.

Each item carries In studio, Outside / on location and ShareGrid / public day rates. Leave one blank and it falls back down the chain, so a gear list at outside rates uses Outside, or In studio if there is none.

Market rate, inlineThe ≈ on a row opens the going day rate near you, the weekly price, and how your three tiers compare — when Rate Guide sharing is on.
Links auto-fillPaste a B&H or Amazon product URL and the name, model and price are fetched. Paste a ShareGrid listing URL and that alone publishes the item as kit for hire on your public page.
Merge duplicates⇄ moves the receipt, SKU and price paid across to another item and deletes this one, suggesting likely duplicates by serial, then SKU, then shared words.
No quantity fieldMultiples are separate rows with their own serials. The importers expand qty: 3 into three rows for you.

The item editor — model, serials, location, purchase details, and the three day-rate boxes: in studio, outside on location, ShareGrid public
The item editor. The three rate boxes are the important part.
03 · IMPORT — one door for anything that lists gear

Drop a spreadsheet, a PDF, a photo or a receipt.

One Import takes a B&H invoice, any other receipt (a PDF, or a photo of it), a CSV, an equipment-list PDF, a screenshot of a list, or pasted text. KitSlate reads the file and decides: a receipt is logged with its file and its lines become inventory; a list becomes items. Files it recognises are read directly; anything else gets a Read it with AI → offer, and nothing is sent to it until you press that. Either way you see every line before anything is added. Receipts import on every paid plan; a list import is Studio and up.

B&H reads itselfOrder number, date, buyer, every line with its SKU and serial, the tax, the Payboo saving from its own line and the instant savings under each discounted line — the price on every line is what you paid. No AI involved.
Filed where your gear already livesEvery line arrives with a category: the matching item’s own, or the reader’s suggestion, placed in a category you already have — a lens in your LENSES, a tripod in your CAMERA SUPPORT. Only a kind of thing none of yours covers is offered as new.
Update, add, or skipA line can update an item you already own — price paid, date, SKU, the receipt linked — without renaming or moving it; or become a new item; or be skipped.
A list is not a receiptIf a rental order was taken for a receipt, one button sends the same file to the list reader instead, and no receipt is logged.
Tidy the namesImported names that nearly match the shared catalogue are offered for tidying, one tick each. That is what lines your gear up with the Rate Guide benchmarks.
The original spreadsheetIf you came from the Gear List for Video Professionals sheet, one CSV brings every category, name, serial, note and price across without mapping a column.

QUESTIONS — the ones people ask first

Before you try it.

Can I sell gear straight from the inventory?

Yes. Sell this → on any item fills a market listing from the shelf — name, model, SKU, purchase date, photo, category — and attaches provenance the app can vouch for. Serial numbers and notes never go into a public listing.

Is my inventory shared with anyone?

No. Only what you choose to publish is public: an item with a ShareGrid link appears as kit for hire on your page, and a listing you create appears on the market.

Which plan has the inventory?

The full inventory — kits, cases, packing, receipts — is on Solo and up. Importing an equipment list — a CSV, a list PDF or a pasted list — is Studio and up. See pricing.

Does it track who has what on which job?

A gear list that marks an item in case sets it out in the inventory until it is marked returned, and the calendar's conflict detection sees it on that job.

Import yours in an afternoon.

On Studio and up, drop the spreadsheet you already have. The sandbox shows the review screen on a real list first.
