metItem for Schools
Inventory management for schools.
Track Chromebooks, lab supplies, library materials, AV carts, and athletic gear across every classroom and building. Check devices out to teachers and students, record who checked out each one, and keep a current list for budget season.
Free for 100 items, forever — no credit card, no trial countdown
See it work in 23 seconds
A real run through the app, recorded on a phone and on a computer and edited into one 23-second clip — scanning a box of dryer sheets, checking it out, and the low-stock alert.
Scan a real product
Point your phone at a barcode and the item is added, code and all.
Check it out
Hand it to a person or a truck, and the quantity moves right away — free on every plan.
Get the alert
Cross your minimum level and the low-stock notification fires.
Sound familiar?
Three problems metItem is built to fix for schools.
How many Chromebooks did we actually lose?
Devices go home with students, move between classrooms, and quietly disappear. Come inventory time, the count is a guess and the replacement bill is a surprise.
The science department reordered supplies we already had
Without a shared, current list, departments double-order some things and run out of others mid-semester — and the budget pays for both.
Asset tracking for the district audit
The district or state wants a record of every funded asset — what it is, what it cost, and where it is. It's spread across spreadsheets each building keeps differently.
Built for the way schools actually work
No bloat. No 40-tab settings panel. Just the features that turn tracking into a habit instead of a chore.
Check devices out to staff & students
Check a Chromebook, an iPad or an AV cart out and type who it went to, such as a teacher or a room. Check it back in and the quantity returns. Every check-out records who did it and when.
Scan a barcode with any phone
Scanning uses the phone camera and is free on every plan, with no scanner hardware to buy. Printed QR labels start on the Essential plan, and printed barcode labels on Ultra.
Low-stock alerts for consumables
Set minimums on lab supplies, art materials, paper, and first-aid stock. metItem flags it in-app before a department runs out, on any plan — emailed alerts from Essential up — so reorders happen on time and on budget.
Budget- & audit-ready asset records
Every item holds a name, a code, a quantity, a price and a photo, plus one field you define yourself on the free plan. The Essential plan raises that to five fields. Download any inventory's items as a CSV with the name, code, description, quantity, minimum level, price, unit and folder.
