How Anbaro works, one short article at a time. Can’t find what you need? Write to support.

Getting started

  • Add your first items

    Type items in one at a time, import a spreadsheet, or tell Anbar what you keep.

  • Create your workspace

    Sign up, choose how to start, name your business and add the first place you keep stock.

  • Import a spreadsheet

    Bring a CSV of your items, and review every row before it is added.

  • Locations

    Add the places you keep stock, such as a stockroom, a bar or a van.

  • Today

    What needs a decision: low and out stock, counts with a difference, and your alerts.

Stock

  • Activity

    Every stock change and workspace change, and who made it.

  • Alerts

    Low stock, counts that need you and new reorder lists, newest first.

  • Barcodes and scanning

    Scan a barcode to find an item, add a new one, or link a code to an item you have.

  • Categories

    Group your items the way your team talks about them.

  • Item photos

    Take or choose a photo for an item, so your team knows it on the shelf.

  • Items, units and packs

    Add and edit items, the unit each is counted in, and the pack it is bought in.

  • Loss reports

    Everything written off, with its reason, each loss in its item's own unit.

  • Alert level and par

    Set when an item counts as low, and what full looks like, so alerts and reorders work.

  • Record a loss

    Write off stock that broke, spoiled, was stolen or was miscounted, with its reason.

  • Reorder list

    What to order, saved as a list you can share and send. Anbaro never places an order for you.

  • Stock in and out

    Record what came in or went out, and read every change on an item.

  • Suppliers

    Keep your suppliers' contacts, and which items you order from each.

Counts

  • Count out loud

    Say each item and how many while you count, check the list, and confirm the whole count once.

  • Counts

    Count what is physically on the shelf at a location, then finalize to set the stock.

  • Offline and sync

    Keep counting with no connection; saved values send themselves when you're back.

Team

  • Invite your team

    Bring people into your workspace, each with a role and the locations they can see.

  • Join a workspace

    Accept an invitation from a teammate and join their workspace.

  • Location access

    Choose which locations a teammate can see, or remove their access.

  • Roles

    What Owners, Managers and Staff can each do, and making a role of your own.

Anbar

  • Anbar's settings and reminders

    Who can use Anbar, the owner's switch, and the reminders on the screens.

  • Anbar usage

    What the percentages mean, when they reset, and what happens when Anbar is out.

  • Ask Anbar

    Ask about your stock, or tell Anbar what changed and check the card it drafts.

  • How Anbar confirms changes

    Anbar drafts a change as a card; nothing is saved until you tick it and confirm.

  • Photograph a delivery note

    Take a photo of a delivery note or an invoice, check the lines Anbar flags, and confirm one stock-in card.

  • Talk to Anbar

    Say your question or your change instead of typing it, then check the words and send.

  • The scope picker

    Choose whether Anbar looks at one location or all of them.

  • What Anbar can do

    Everything you can ask Anbar for, each with a request to try.

  • What Anbar remembers

    See, add, edit or delete the notes Anbar keeps for your workspace.
