Gear Grotto: Storage catalogue and inventory, built for the field

Gear Grotto is an offline-first app for cataloguing storage and managing inventory. Whether you run a wedding hire business, coordinate live events, or manage a warehouse, you can map where everything lives, pack it out, lend it out, and bring it back—even with no signal.
Built for teams on the move
• Wedding & event planners: Catalogue décor, linens, florals and AV. Build packing lists per venue or couple. Step-by-step setup tutorials for your crew.
• Party & equipment rental: Track what’s out, when it’s due back, and optional rental fees. Scan QR codes to check items in and out on site.
• Production & staging: Furniture kits for structures (arches, staging, signage). Attach build manuals and run through tutorials offline backstage.
• Warehouses & ops: Units, bays, shelves and floor zones. Containers, condition checks, expiry and restock in one place.
