StringsTheory is designed around the real workflow of a repair shop, retailer, or goods producer — from intake to invoice.
Auto-SKU generation, barcode scanning (camera on iPad, USB on Mac), low-stock alerts, bulk edit, wholesale linking, 16+ units of measure, and real-time inventory value.
Eight-status repair workflow (Pending Triage → Pending → Awaiting Parts → In Progress → QC → Ready for Pickup → Completed) with Dashboard callouts, Kanban board and list views, templates with checklists, signature capture, PDF generation, and email notifications.
Turn a shared iPad into a self-service drop-off station. Simple Mode walks walk-ins through You → What's going on? → Details → Sign. One-tap "Hand to Customer" button, PIN exit gate, and auto-print of repair labels on submit.
Serial number tracking with per-unit statuses, custom fields, production orders, batch management, duplicate detection, and CSV import/export.
Visual drag-and-drop designer, 7 built-in repair label designs (Hangtag, Case Sticker, Customer Receipt, Parts Bag, Status, QC, Pickup), Dymo templates with .dymo import, multi-up sheet rendering for letter/A4 printers, and a dedicated print queue.
Build assemblies from components with UOM-aware cost calculation. Link BOM to work orders with cost reports on printed documents.
Revenue, COGS, gross profit, and margin with visual charts. Group by item, category, day, or month. Full transaction ledger with filtering.
Offline-first with automatic sync. Conflict resolution UI, selective sync, pull preview, and a sync log with multi-integration filtering.
Four roles — Admin, Manager, User, Viewer. Token-based invites, Google OAuth, user management, and server-pushed announcements.
English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Japanese. Plus full CSV import/export for inventory, production, customers, and work orders.
Move repairs through eight real statuses — Pending Triage, Pending, Awaiting Parts, In Progress, QC, Ready for Pickup, Completed, Cancelled — across a visual Kanban board, compact list, or detailed list view. Dashboard callouts surface what needs attention.
From a single component to a serialized finished product — StringsTheory tracks it all with 16+ units of measure, real-time value, and backorder detection.
