The problem

Get your items off of spreadsheets and off of whiteboards

Today the answer sits in old invoices and in one person’s memory. Every reorder starts with a hunt for it. Log it in Arda once and your team stops hunting.

Arda on the floor

Build the item while it’s in your hand.

Scan the package. Find the right part. Set the quantities. Your phone puts the details where the next person can use them.

01
Scan the package.
Link the barcode to an item you already stock. If there is no match, create the item while the part is still in your hand.

How it works

1
Turn that spreadsheet into a living database
Import your items as a CSV. Or paste the product’s URL and Arda fills in the record.
2
Two numbers that matter
The minimum is your reorder point. The order quantity tells purchasing how much to buy.
3
Print the cards or bind to UPC codes
Put each card in front of your minimum stock in the real world.
4
Scan when you pull
The order lands in the Order Queue, grouped by supplier and method.

Feature breakdown

We’ll find your past orders for you.

Build your item database from vendor order history. A title is enough to create an item, so you can start with what you have and fill in the details as you go.

Bring existing records in by CSV.
Build out the database as you use it.

Arda item catalog with product photos, minimum quantities and card actions.

Put the answer beside the part.

Store the photo, SKU, supplier, ordering link, unit and price on one record. Arda prints the photo on the card. Your team recognizes the part without asking anyone.

Carry the same photo from record to shelf.

The Arda Items dashboard leads to an Arda card mounted on an illustrated stocked shelf labeled A-14.

Give every part a plan.

You set two numbers on every item in the database. The minimum is the reorder point. The order quantity tells purchasing how much to buy.

From the floor to purchasing, everyone knows what triggers replenishment.
Review the settings against actual use.

Start with the parts that keep coming up.

Start with the parts you can’t afford to stock out of. Those are the ones kanban fits. Add the infrequent and one-off parts later.

Give the repeat purchases a card first.
Expand one item category at a time.

What your team gets back

For the person at the stock point: Scan cards with confidence and keep production moving.
For purchasing: No more searching the depths of your email or order history for the part number. Order in one click.
For leadership: Finally focus on what moves your business forward.
For the business: Keep the parts knowledge in the business when people change roles. A new hire reads the record and orders what the last person ordered.
If you leave it alone: Without the record your team guesses. It orders the wrong part or buys extra just in case. That cash sits on the shelf while the job waits.
