Take inventory of your business's belongings, and most prized possessions with just your phone! Protecting your assets starts with knowing exactly what you have.


Hurricane season, break-ins, and fires can strike without warning, and having a complete inventory of your equipment, inventory, and furnishings can make all the difference when filing a commercial insurance claim.


With just a smartphone app, you can document everything your business owns, from the main office to your storage facility or warehouse.

What to Track With a Business Inventory App

An inventory of your property and belongings should include the following details: 

  • A photo and/or video of the item. 

  • A description, plus the make and model of the item.

  • The value of the item

  • The date of purchase

  • Item serial number

  • Receipts


Why it’s important

Inventories are essential, and a business inventory app speeds up insurance claims! If your property or belongings are damaged or lost in a hurricane, break-in, fire, or another unfortunate event, having an inventory of your belongings can better help you get the total value of your items after filing an insurance claim. Having an inventory also helps speed up the claims process.
