Built around how PVF moves — by lot, by heat number, by job. Not a warehouse system with pipe bolted on.
Point a phone camera at a handwritten tally sheet. Rack & Tally's AI reads every row — joint number, length, heat number — and creates a unique QR-tagged record for each joint. Handwriting included.
Each joint gets a unique QR code — wire-tied, banded, or adhered — that any crew member can scan from their phone to look up specs, update status, or assign to a job. No app download required.
When a buyer calls asking for 5,000 feet of 30-inch pipe, click joints from your inventory to build the order. Rack & Tally tallies footage, estimates weight and truck count, and exports a quote — all in real time.
The By Size view groups all inventory by pipe diameter — collapsible, sortable, with footage totals and availability counts on every header. Know what you have before you answer the phone.
Type a plain English question and Rack & Tally's AI queries your live inventory and answers directly. No filtering, no drilling down — just ask.
Unlimited users on every plan. Owners see everything. Yard hands see only the scan screen. Financial data stays private unless you decide otherwise — no per-seat pricing, no access headaches.
