Findle
Findle is an inventory platform for service and field teams, tracking parts, tools and supplies across trucks, warehouses and job sites. Barcode scanning, photo lookup, forecasting and an AI assistant wired to live counts run on web and mobile.
What is Findle?
Findle is an inventory application for service and field teams rather than for warehouses alone, available on the web and as iOS and Android apps. The promise on the home page is simple: keep stock and equipment visible in real time as they move between trucks, warehouses and job sites. Onboarding is presented in three steps. Create your locations, whether shelf, bin or zone. Get inventory in through scanning, categories and synced counts. Then act on the signals the system raises through alerts, forecasts and reports.
The foundation is a location model with parent and child hierarchy, location folders and a map view. On top of it sits Ask Findle, a conversational assistant connected to real-time counts. It runs read-only queries across inventory, locations, orders and suppliers, tolerates typos in part numbers, and answers with sourcing context on low stock, category analysis, movement history, dead stock and anomaly detection. Voice input turns speech into the same queries. Two further AI features are practical rather than decorative: visual search, where you photograph or upload an image and Findle ranks the matches against stored inventory pictures, and OCR that reads labels and captures item details from a photo.
Analytics cover quantity and value by location, top SKUs by quantity and by value, net movement by reason, days of cover remaining and a 60-day trend, with demand projections at 7 and 30 days. A supplier directory holds up to three contacts per vendor along with supplier SKU, unit price, currency, lead time, minimum order quantity, order multiple and preferred status. Equipment checkout adds asset tags, lifecycle status, condition, calibration schedules, identification and condition photos at checkout and return, an overdue board, and a block on releasing gear marked as under maintenance, damaged or retired. Printable QR codes open a public read-only page exposing only the fields you choose, never notes, borrowers or costs. Orders and pick lists, including BOM and kitting, are checked against stock before release. Roles, invitations, system logs and audit trails govern the team, and the interface ships in six languages. Findle claims stockouts cut by up to 40% and counting time halved, while stating clearly that it is not an ERP.
What it does
- Track quantities, part numbers, categories, locations and values in one unified table
- Scan barcodes and QR codes from a phone camera or a fixed station to receive, move and audit stock
- Ask for stock in plain language and get restock lists, runout ETAs and transfer drafts
- Identify a part from a photograph and open its record
- Check tools and equipment out and back in, with due dates, condition photos and custody history
- Forecast demand and surface overstock, upcoming shortages and dead stock
- Set low-stock thresholds and receive reorder suggestions that weigh stock on hand, committed orders and locations
When to use Findle / When not to
A quick filter to help you decide if Findle is the right fit.
When to use Findle
- Service and field crews in HVAC, plumbing or electrical work who carry parts from job to job
- Multi-site operations juggling stock across warehouses, workshops, vans and construction sites
- Small and mid-sized businesses ready to retire the inventory spreadsheet without buying an ERP
- Teams that lend out serialised tools and have to prove custody and keep calibration dates straight
- Buyers who want supplier pricing, lead times and minimum order quantities attached to each part
When not to use Findle
- Companies shopping for a full ERP, which Findle states plainly it is not
- Online sellers who need built-in invoicing and shipping, a need Findle itself redirects to Zoho Inventory
- Warehouses that require deeply configurable put-away and picking workflows, where Findle points to Finale Inventory and Cin7
- Catalogues larger than 10,000 items, the ceiling of the highest tier
- Teams that need inventory to feed existing accounting, e-commerce or field-service software, since no third-party integration is named
How to use Findle
A typical end-to-end flow, from setup to results.
- Create an account and confirm your email with the six-digit code, which expires after fifteen minutes
- Join an existing company workspace or create a new one for your business
- Choose a tier on first entry: stay on the free plan, or open checkout for Pro or Enterprise
- Build your locations first, shelf by shelf, bin by bin, so every item has somewhere to sit
- Load the catalogue by importing a CSV from your existing spreadsheet, pasting several items at once, or scanning barcodes and labels from Add Inventory
- Use bulk JSON import, available from Pro upward, if you are moving a larger catalogue
- Invite teammates and assign admin or member roles
- Set the low-stock threshold, currency, time zone and interface language in preferences
- Work the daily loop: scan to receive, move and audit, and put questions to Ask Findle by text or voice
- Check Daily Recap, Inventory Checkup and Low Stock to catch shortages before they reach the job site
Pros & Cons
Pros
- A permanent free plan that asks for no credit card
- Forecasting and analytics included, where many trackers stop at counting
- A natural-language assistant connected to real counts, usable by voice as well as text
- Photo-based part lookup, which saves the day when a part number is worn off or simply unknown
- Equipment tracking with proof of custody and calibration alerts, uncommon at this price point
- Native iOS and Android apps alongside the web app, and an interface in six languages
- Free public utilities, from barcode and QR generators to purchase orders, invoices, count sheets, bin labels and inventory formula calculators, usable without an account
Cons
- No third-party integration is named anywhere, so nothing connects to accounting, e-commerce or field-service software out of the box
- Findle never mentions the GDPR, publishes no data processing agreement and names no subprocessor
- No hosting country or region is disclosed
- Neither a legal entity nor a postal address appears on the site itself
- Hard item ceilings apply on every tier, from 100 on Free to 500 on Pro and 10,000 on Enterprise
- AI credits are metered: 20 Ask Findle questions, 30 analyses and 10 forecasts on Free, still capped on Pro, and camera scanning, photo search, orders and API keys are absent from the free plan
- Seats are tight below Enterprise, at one user on Free and three on Pro, and refunds must be requested from Paddle rather than from Findle directly
Pricing & Plans
Findle offers a free plan that is permanent and requires no credit card. The lowest paid entry point is the Pro tier at USD 29.00 per month on monthly billing, or USD 17.40 per month on an annual commitment, that is USD 208.80 per year. The Enterprise tier is USD 79.00 per month, or USD 47.40 per month annually, that is USD 568.80 per year, with advertised annual savings of around USD 379 on either tier. Billing is handled by Paddle and invoiced in advance, and charges are generally non-refundable outside the statutory withdrawal right. Consumers have 14 days from the day after the transaction to withdraw and obtain a full refund. Beyond that window, refunds are discretionary and limited to billing errors, duplicate charges or material service failure, and may be partial or pro-rated. Promotional or discounted plans, trial plans converted into subscriptions and services already substantially delivered are excluded from refunds.

Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how Findle handles your data.
GDPR overview
Findle never mentions the GDPR. The regulation is not named anywhere on the site, there is no Article 27 representative, no data protection officer, no data processing agreement and no list of subprocessors, only a reference to trusted service providers. No hosting country or region is published either. What the vendor does offer are practical controls stated without any legal framing: export of inventory and transaction data at any time, user and role management, browser and device permissions for microphone and camera, deletion of uploaded photos, and a support channel to review, export, correct or delete personal data. Accounts, workspaces and inventory records are deleted on request once required billing and audit windows close, backups included. The one European legal reference published is a machine-readable notice reserving rights under Article 4 of EU Directive 2019/790 and declining AI training use.
Who owns the data?
Findle is unambiguous on ownership: the terms state that you retain ownership of everything you upload, and the privacy policy repeats the point in four words, you own your data. The company grants itself only a narrow processing role, limited to providing and improving inventory tracking, analytics and forecasting. Inventory records and transaction history can be exported at any time, so nothing is held hostage to the subscription. Responsibility runs the other way too: you answer for what you submit, whether photos, audio, transcripts or files, and Findle asks users not to upload third-party faces or voices, confidential documents, health data or payment details without the rights and consent to do so.
Reuse rights
Your own inventory data comes back out without a permission step: records, transactions and barcode files export on demand, and Findle claims no rights over them. On the collection side, Findle holds account details such as name and email, company metadata, inventory records, usage logs and subscription information. When the camera, image search or voice features are used, it also holds images, audio, transcripts and their metadata, including file type, size, time, browser permissions and the linked item or space. That material runs inventory, locations, invitations and analytics, secures access through authentication, auditing and anomaly detection, supports the service and powers transcription, part recognition, label reading and search quality. Payments go through PCI-compliant providers, with Paddle named in the terms as the payment processor, and card numbers are never stored. Images, audio, transcripts and records may be passed to service providers for hosting, storage, transcription, image processing, search, analytics, security, support, billing and AI features, and Findle states those providers may process the data only as needed to serve Findle, not for their own unrelated purposes. Findle also declares that it builds no voice prints and no face templates, and promises notice and consent should a future feature ever require them.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
Findle publishes no hosting location. No country, no region and no hosting provider is named, and nothing fills the gap: there is no data processing agreement and no subprocessor list, only a reference to trusted service providers. What is documented is the security posture rather than the geography. Findle states that it protects inventory, user and billing data with least-privilege access, encryption in transit and clear retention policies, adds encrypted storage for sensitive secrets, and keeps audit logs on critical actions. Inventory data is isolated per company, with role-based access inside each workspace. Payment data never lands in Findle's own storage: PCI-compliant providers handle it and card numbers are not kept. The public site is served behind Cloudflare on an anycast address, which says nothing about where inventory records, photos, audio or transcripts actually sit. For any buyer with a data residency requirement, that is the missing piece, and it can only come from asking support directly.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Findle.
- AI output can be wrong: transcripts, image matches, label reads, search results and forecasts all need a human check before anyone acts on them, and the terms place that responsibility squarely on the user
- A team that stops verifying counts because the assistant sounds confident drifts away from the physical truth on the shelf, and that habit is harder to rebuild than a database
- Uploaded documents of up to 25 MB are validated for structure but not scanned for viruses, so a shared workspace can quietly carry an infected file
- Turning a public QR page on or off regenerates its link, which silently kills every label already printed and glued to a bin
- Hard ceilings on items, locations, equipment, suppliers and AI credits mean growth can hit a wall mid-quarter and force a tier change
- Billing and refunds run through Paddle, a running subscription must be cancelled before any tier change, and a workspace with unpaid billing is paused until it is settled or moved back to the free plan
- Deleting your account while you are the only member also deletes the organisation and the inventory you created, and no GDPR claim, DPA, named subprocessor or published hosting location exists to soften that for a regulated buyer
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Low. Nothing is installed: Findle runs in a browser, with iOS and Android apps for the floor. Getting started takes an account, an emailed code, a tier choice, a handful of locations and either a CSV import from your existing spreadsheet, whose column names carry over, or a first scan. Findle claims the path from first barcode to first forecast takes minutes. The only step that calls for technical skill is wiring your own system to the API keys available from Pro upward, and no public documentation exists to guide that work.

Should you pick Findle?
Findle is a young product, its domain registered only in December 2025, yet it arrives unusually complete. It occupies the space between the spreadsheet a growing business outgrows and the ERP nobody in a five-van HVAC company wants to implement, and it aims at multi-site service teams whose stock lives in trucks, workshops and job sites rather than in one tidy warehouse.
The AI is not a veneer here. The conversational assistant queries live counts, visual search identifies a part from a photograph, OCR reads labels, and forecasting projects demand at 7 and 30 days, each tied to a specific tier with metered credits that at least make the boundaries legible before you pay. Equipment checkout with custody history, condition photos and calibration schedules is genuinely uncommon at this price, and the permanent card-free free plan lets you test the workflow on real stock before committing anything.
The reservation is governance rather than function. Findle never mentions the GDPR, offers no data processing agreement, names no subprocessor and publishes no hosting country or region. No legal entity or postal address appears on the site itself, no third-party integration is named, and billing and refunds run through Paddle rather than the vendor. For a small field team in the United States, none of that is likely to block a purchase. For a European buyer under procurement rules, or anyone handling regulated data, those gaps are the conversation to have with support before a card goes in.
Judged on what it does, Findle is a capable and thoughtfully specified inventory tool with real AI utility. Judged on what it discloses, it still has growing up to do. Start free, load a real catalogue, and let the workflow decide.
