Gear tracking for creative crews

Pack light.

Every camera, cable and case, accounted for. Print a tag, pack the bag, see what came back. Set up in an afternoon, not a quarter.

Getting started

Four steps.
Then you pack.

No consultants. No import project. No training day. Just your gear, a printer and a free afternoon.

Snap it.

Take a photo. AI drafts the record, and you approve it.

04

Pack it.

Tick it off in the tree, or sweep a reader over the case. Everything tagged answers at once.

Tree and flat lay

Read it as a tree.
See it as a picture.

Every packlist is both. Pack in either and the other keeps up, on every phone and every screen.

Cases in cases in cases.

Nest as deep as your kit goes. Every level is a place of its own, so nothing is ever just somewhere.

The flat lay

The bag, before you pack it.

Your gear laid out on a virtual table, in list order, in cut-out photos. Whatever is missing stands out.

Cut-out photos

Grid or mat

Live sync

iPhone Duo

Open it up.
Your gear across the fold.

On iPhone Duo your equipment opens across both halves: the tree on one side of the fold, the item you picked on the other. Fold it shut and it is the phone app you already know.

iPhone Duo, open: the equipment tree on one side of the fold, the selected item with its cut-out photo on the other.

Web dashboard

The big screen, too.

Every packlist, tree, flat lay and map at my.propiler.app, with every menu one click away. See where every case went today, and put Live Pack on a screen in the gear room to watch the case fill up as the team scans.

Labels and tags

Tag it once.
Scan it for good.

Pair a pocket label printer over Bluetooth and print from your phone. Your templates, your logo, standard codes. Every label points to one item, so a scan always finds the right thing.

Standard codes

QR, Data Matrix and barcodes that any scanner can read.

Shelves and places

Scan and pack

Tick it, scan it
or sweep it.

Pack with a tap in the tree, the phone camera, a pocket scanner or a UHF reader swept over the case. However you pack, every phone and every screen keeps up.

Works offline

No signal in the basement? Keep packing. It syncs when you are back.

E-ink displays

The case tells you
what is inside.

Put an e-paper display on a case. Send it the picture, the name and the pack state, and it keeps showing them until something changes.
