Red Center Studio
Back to Shop Binwright / Stock and inventory

Know what stock you have, where it is, and when to reorder.

Record use, deliveries and counts from a phone in every van, storeroom, shelf and kit. Binwright learns how fast each item goes, warns you before it runs out and tells you exactly what to order.

In short: Binwright is a stock and inventory app for small businesses, by Red Center Studio. Your team records what they use, receive, move and count from a phone, in every place you keep stock: vans, storerooms, workshops, back rooms, clinics, kitchens, event kits and job sites. Binwright learns how fast each item goes, warns you before it runs out and tells you what to order from each supplier. It runs in your own Cloudflare account, for $99 USD once.

Screenshots from the live demo, with its sample data.

One price, no seats

$99 USD once for one business. No limits on users, items or places.

Your data, your account

Runs in your own Cloudflare account. The studio cannot see your stock.

Every change on record

A ledger of who changed what, where and when, never edited, exportable to CSV.

Tested and accessible

Automated tests for every stock rule, and accessibility checks at desktop and phone width.

The problem

Spreadsheets do not tell you what is about to run out.

Stock is spread out

Some is in the warehouse, some in each van, some on a shelf at a site. Nobody knows the real total, so the same item gets bought twice while another runs out.

Running out costs a job

A missing part means a second trip, a delayed job or an unhappy customer. Most of the time the warning signs were there, in how fast it was being used.

Ordering is guesswork

Order too little and you run out again; order too much and money sits on the shelf, or the stock expires before it is used.

How it works

Record it, learn from it, order the right amount.

Step 1

Record it as it happens

Staff pick what happened (used, wasted, received or moved), the item and the place, and enter how many. Scanning the QR label inside a van or on a shelf opens the form with that place already picked. On supported phones, a barcode picks the item.

Step 2

Binwright learns the pattern

Every change goes into a ledger that is never edited. From it, Binwright works out how fast each item is used at each place, with recent weeks counting more, and how long the stock will last.

Step 3

Order the right amount

The reorder list shows what to order from each supplier, topped up to your target and rounded up to whole packs, with an order sheet to print or send. A daily email tells managers when anything needs ordering.

Smart by default

Suggestions you can check, not a black box.

Run-out forecasts

How many days each item will last at each place, and the date it runs out, from real usage.

Reorder points from real usage

Suggested reorder points and targets worked out from how fast stock goes, your supplier lead time and how much usage swings on busy days.

Move instead of buying

When one van is low and the warehouse has plenty, Binwright suggests moving it rather than ordering more.

Counts that keep it honest

A count that comes in lower than the record is treated as unrecorded use, so forecasts stay right even when someone forgets to log.

What to count today

A short daily list of what is worth counting: never counted, high value, fast moving, or about to be reordered. Small counts every day instead of a big stocktake.

Usage jumps and dead stock

Flags an item used far more than usual this week, and stock that has not moved for two months, with the money tied up in it.

Who it is for

Wherever your business keeps stock.

Trades and service vans

Parts and consumables in every van, topped up from the warehouse.

Warehouses and storerooms

Shelves and bins, deliveries in, stock out to jobs and sites.

Workshops

Fixings, fluids, filters and lengths of pipe or cable, counted in the units you use.

Retail back rooms

What is in the back, what is running low and what to order before the weekend.

Clinics and care

Medical supplies with batches and expiry dates, used earliest-expiry first.

Kitchens, bars and venues

Food, drink and cleaning supplies across several rooms or sites.

Events

Kits that travel to venues, counted before and after each event.

Field teams

Kit bags and site stores, recorded from a phone on the job.

Currency, units (metric or US), date format, time zone and what you call a place are set for your business.

Live demo

Try it as staff, a manager or an admin.

The demo is a facilities and events business with a warehouse, two vans, a workshop and an events kit, and 45 days of real-looking history. Record use from a van, receive a delivery, count a shelf, then see the forecasts, the reorder list and the suggestions. It resets every night, so change anything you like.

Frequently asked questions

What does Binwright do?

It keeps track of stock in every place your business keeps it. Staff record what they use, receive, move and count from a phone. Binwright works out how fast each item is used, how long the stock will last, and what to order from each supplier, and emails managers when something needs ordering.

Which businesses is it for?

Any small business that keeps stock in more than one place: trades and service businesses with vans, warehouses and storerooms, workshops, retail back rooms, clinics, kitchens and venues, event companies and field teams. You choose what a place is called (Location, Van, Room, Kit) and the units and currency you use.

How does the forecasting work?

Every change to stock is saved in a ledger. Binwright adds up how much of each item went out at each place each day over the last 30 days (you can change this), with recent weeks counting more, and divides the stock on hand by that rate to get days of stock left. It suggests reorder points from your supplier lead time plus a buffer for busy days, and order quantities that top up to your target and round up to whole packs. Each suggestion is explained in plain words, so you can check it.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Every page is built for phones first and works in any phone browser, and you can add it to your home screen like an app. Scanning a place's QR label opens the record form with that place picked. Barcode scanning with the camera works on phones whose browser supports it, such as Chrome on Android; on other phones you type or paste the code.

Can it track expiry dates?

Yes. Turn on batches and expiry dates for any item, record the batch and date when it arrives, and Binwright uses the earliest expiry first when stock is used or moved. Batches close to their date, or past it, are flagged on the home page and in the daily email.

How much does Binwright cost?

$99 USD once for one business, with no monthly fee and no limits on users, items or places. You run it in your own Cloudflare account; check Cloudflare's current pricing, which has a free plan. If you would rather not set it up yourself, the Turnkey Setup is $499 USD and includes loading your items, places and team.

What do I get when I buy it?

An invitation to the private GitHub repository with the full source code, a licence for one business, and a plain-language setup guide. Updates published to the repository are included while your access is active.

Where is our data stored?

In your own Cloudflare account: stock records in a Cloudflare D1 database and docket photos in a private Cloudflare R2 bucket. Red Center Studio does not host your copy and cannot see your data.

Do I need technical skills to set it up?

Not many. The setup guide walks you through it step by step in plain language and takes about 30 minutes the first time. Items can be imported from a spreadsheet. If you would rather not do it yourself, choose the Turnkey Setup.

Can I try it before I buy?

Yes. The live demo is the full app with a sample business and 45 days of history. Sign in as staff, a manager or an admin with one click, and change anything: it resets every night.

Can I bring my existing stock list?

Yes. Save your spreadsheet as CSV and import it. Items are created or updated by their code or name, and a location and on-hand column sets your opening stock in the same step. A template is included.

Does it work without signal?

Not yet. Binwright needs a connection to save a record, and it tells the person clearly when a save did not go through, keeping what they typed so they can try again. Most phones keep signal in vans and storerooms; if yours do not, try the demo in those places before you buy.

Can I change it to suit my business?

Yes. You get the full source code. Roles, captions, colours and the forecasting settings are each in one place, explained in the included customising guide, and your licence lets you change anything for your own business.

Who looks after it once it is running?

You do, in your own Cloudflare account, and there is very little to look after: no servers to patch, and updates are one command. Backups are kept by Cloudflare for 30 days, and the app exports everything to CSV. Red Center Studio can look after it for you if you would rather not.
