Know where every case is.Before the truck pulls out.
Show Recon is the operations console for gear-heavy teams: a versioned catalog, QR-labelled cases, live warehouse locations, truck packs that move contents with the case, print-ready manifests, and audits that surface what never came home.

Everything the warehouse whiteboard was pretending to do
One system for catalog, warehouse, logistics and paperwork — so the crew scans instead of guessing.
A catalog that understands versions
Master items, real version lineage (v1, v2, v2.1) and serialized assets with 6-digit codes. Substitute gear without guessing what's equivalent.
Scan anything, anywhere
Every case, asset, truck and manifest carries a QR plus a human-readable ID. One scan resolves to the record — on a phone, in a dark loading dock.
Truck packs that pack themselves
Move a case to a truck and everything inside moves with it. Weights, utilization and department grouping update instantly.
Manifests in two clicks
Basic truck pack or detailed item manifest, grouped by department, quantity-rolled, and exported to print-ready PDF.
Case audits with a paper trail
Scan the case, scan what's inside. Missing, extra and swapped items land on the report before the truck leaves.
Labels that look the part
Department color bands, your logo, truck identifiers and cable-specific tags — printed 4x2 or sheet-fed.
100 new 25' extension cords, shelved and labelled — in under ten seconds
Pick the master item, choose a version, set a quantity. Show Recon mints 100 serialized assets with unique 6-digit codes, drops them into the exact bin, and queues the tags.

Fulfillment-center location logic, built for road cases
We borrowed the model that runs the world's largest warehouses: every physical space is an addressable node — warehouse, aisle, rack, shelf, bin — and every asset holds a pointer to exactly one of them. Nothing lives in "the back corner, probably."
- Unlimited nesting: warehouse → aisle → rack → shelf → bin, or your own scheme
- Every location carries its own QR — scan the shelf, see what should be on it
- Move a case and its entire contents inherit the new address instantly
- Trucks, shows and fly-in bags are locations too, so gear is never off-grid
- Search resolves down the tree: type a bin, get the exact pick path

Not everything rides the truck
Camera kits flying with a tech, a step-and-repeat shipped overnight, pallets of tour merch that get consumed at the show. Show Recon tracks the stuff that only exists for one gig with the same rigor as your permanent inventory.
Fly-ins & shipped gear
Log anything traveling outside the truck — hand-carried camera kits, freight, overnight replacements — with tracking numbers, serials, expected arrival and the show it's headed to. The manifest flags it so nobody hunts for a case that was never on board.
- Live status: pending, in transit, received, missing
- Serial numbers and tracking numbers on every fly-in
- Scan-to-receive on arrival, stamped with who signed for it
- Overdue fly-ins surface automatically on the reporting dashboard
Merch & consumable lots
Build a merch lot, set the box count and weight per box, and Show Recon prints a scannable tag for every single box. On site, crew scan boxes as received or depleted — so the warehouse knows exactly how much to send to the next stop.
- Per-box QR tags generated the moment the lot is created
- Shipped weight rolls into truck totals and utilization
- Field crew report received and depleted boxes from a phone
- Remaining count drives the replenishment for the next city
Manifests your driver can actually read
Generate a manifest straight from a truck or any location. Cases roll up with their contents indented underneath, identical items collapse into quantities, and department color bands keep lighting, video and audio grouped. Export to PDF for the cab, the venue and the file.
- Basic truck pack and detailed item manifest modes
- Weight totals and trailer utilization
- Show, route stops and departure details on the header
Scanner-first for the people on the floor
Crew accounts open straight into the scanner. Guest scanners type their name before they touch a case, so every count is attributable. Team leads audit cases and assign fly-ins. Admins get the whole console.
- Case builder and case audit modes
- Missing / extra / swapped reporting
- Every scan written to an event log
Your own private organization
Every company on Show Recon gets an isolated organization. Your catalog, assets, cases, trucks, manifests, branding and people live in your workspace only — no shared inventory, no cross-company visibility, ever. Invite your crew, set their roles, and put your own logo on every label and manifest.
