Scan items out in seconds
Open the app, point your phone or iPad camera at a barcode and one unit is logged right away, with nothing to type. Scan one item, or switch to continuous mode to scan several in a row. No barcode? Search by name.
Inventory management for service providers
Inventory software built for service businesses.
Most inventory tools are made for warehouses and online stores. Spin Control is made for the supplies you use to deliver your services, so you spend less on products and your team spends more time on the work that pays.
Training included with every plan. Download our app for your phone or iPad and scan over cell service, or use the web dashboard on your computer.

Why Spin Control
Other inventory software wasn't made for you
The tools on the market are built for manufacturing, warehousing, retail and e-commerce. None of them are built around the products a service team uses on the job. We built Spin Control to close that gap.
Typical inventory software
- Designed for warehouses, retail and online stores
- Complex tools that take weeks to learn
- Needs in-house IT to set up and maintain
- Often needs dedicated barcode scanners for every user
Spin Control
- Designed for the supplies service providers use every day
- Simple, minimal design your team can pick up fast
- Hands-on help: we assist with setup, software maintenance and ongoing tuning
- Mobile app works over cell service, plus a web dashboard for the office
Features
Everything you need to stay stocked, and nothing you don't
Spin Control tracks stock levels, logs usage by barcode scan, forecasts stock-outs and builds reorders from your suppliers.
Our app, or any browser
Download the Spin Control app for your phone or iPad and scan with the built-in camera. It works over cell service, so no Wi-Fi is needed. In the office, use the web dashboard on your computer with an internet connection and a USB or Bluetooth handheld scanner.
Barcodes you print yourself
Generate barcodes in the software and print them on Avery 22805 sticker labels or plain paper. Stick them on items, shelf edges or bins, or keep a scan sheet where supplies are picked up.
Low-stock alerts and forecasts
Set a minimum level for each item. When stock falls to it, the item is flagged to reorder, and the stock-out forecast shows what's about to run out based on recent usage.
Reorders and suppliers
The Reorders page lists what to buy. Reorder everything at once or one item at a time, link items to the exact supplier product page, and track orders until they're received.
Dashboards and reports
See inventory value by category, weekly usage, usage by person, low-stock alerts, supplier spending and delivery speed, and a full audit of changes.
Bring your inventory with you
Import one spreadsheet of all your items. Spin Control matches your column headers automatically. Prefer not to? We can load your inventory for you.
Physical counts
Run a count, enter what's actually on the shelf, and see the difference from what the system expected. Fix a mistaken scan anytime with Adjust stock.
Roles and locations
Give each person a role: User, Manager or Group Manager. Each site keeps its own counts, and we can track a second location, such as a work vehicle, for each user.
How it works
From signed contract to scanning inventory in six phases
We assist with setting up your site and users in 1–5 business days after you sign. If we load your inventory for you, add 2–4 days. We assist your team through every phase.
Phase 1
Sign up and gather what you need
Sign your contract and send us your user list: each person's name, role and email.
Phase 2
Create your logins
Each person gets an invitation email, creates their own login and downloads our app to their phone or iPad. It takes about five minutes.
Phase 3
Load your inventory
Import a spreadsheet, add items one at a time, or have us load it for you. Add your suppliers.
Phase 4
Get your barcodes
Use the maker's barcode or a Spin Control barcode, then print on sticker labels or plain paper.
Phase 5
Place labels and test
Put barcodes on items, shelves or bins, turn on camera access, and test-scan on every device.
Phase 6
Train and go live
We train everyone who scans or orders. You go live when your team can scan and fix a mistake on their own.
What you'll need
Most teams already have everything
Here's what to gather while we set up your site.
A phone, iPad or computer
One for each person who scans. Download our app to phones and iPads to scan with the built-in camera.
Cell service or internet
The mobile app works over your phone's cell service, so Wi-Fi isn't required in the storeroom or on the job. The web dashboard on a computer needs an internet connection.
Your inventory list
A spreadsheet from your suppliers or your current system is the easiest to import.
A printer
Print barcodes on Avery 22805 labels (1.5" square, 24 per sheet) or on plain paper.
A handheld scanner (optional)
Only needed if you'll scan at a computer. Any USB or Bluetooth scanner works.
Your user list
Each person's name, email and role: User, Manager or Group Manager.
Our story
Built by a service business owner
Spin Control Management was started by the owner of a small service-based business who couldn't find inventory software that fit how service teams work. Everything available was made for someone else.
So we built a tool for service-based businesses and organizations, with the service industry in mind from the first screen.
Lorie MorrisFounder, CEO and Developer
Researched
We analyzed hundreds of existing inventory products to find where they fall short for service providers.
Interviewed
We talked with service providers to learn what they actually need to track and reorder.
Tested
We developed and tested Spin Control on site with businesses in our area.
Made for service
Built specifically for service-based businesses and organizations, not adapted from warehouse or retail software.

FAQ
Common questions
Who is Spin Control for?
Service-based businesses and organizations: contractors, service franchises, nonprofits that provide services, and small to mid-sized service businesses.
What devices does it work on?
Download our app for your phone or iPad, or use Spin Control in a web browser on any computer. Your device remembers your login, so you don't need to sign in each time.
Do I need Wi-Fi where my supplies are stored?
No. The mobile app works over your phone's or iPad's cell service, so your team can scan anywhere they have a signal. Before you go live, open the app in the storeroom to make sure it connects there. The web dashboard on a computer needs an internet connection.
Do I need a barcode scanner?
Not if you scan with our app on a phone or iPad: the camera does the scanning. A USB or Bluetooth handheld scanner is only needed if you'll scan at a computer.
How do barcodes work?
Every item you track gets a barcode. You can use the maker's barcode if you always buy that item from the same source, or a Spin Control barcode so one product keeps one code no matter which supplier you buy it from. Generate them in the software and print them on Avery 22805 labels or plain paper, at 100% scale. Tip: put the code on the shelf or bin instead of every item.
Can I bring in my existing inventory?
Yes. Import one spreadsheet (CSV) of all your items, and Spin Control matches the column headers automatically. You can also add items one at a time, or have us load your inventory for you as an add-on service (2–4 days).
How long does setup take?
We assist with setting up your site and users in 1–5 business days after you sign. If we load your inventory for you, add 2–4 days. The rest depends on your team's pace, and we're with you through training and go-live.
What's the difference between Basic Plus and Professional?
Basic Plus is for teams of 1–14 users and can be cancelled with 30 days' notice. Professional is for teams of 15 users or more and runs to the end of your contract term. Both include the bar code generator, mobile app, data export, direct ordering from other locations, training and 24-hour online support. Per location site, Basic Plus is $99 a month and Professional is $119 a month with an annual contract, or $114 and $134 a month billed monthly with a 3-month minimum.
Do I need IT staff or special training?
No. We assist with setup, software maintenance and ongoing tuning, and training is included with every plan.
