GearChain: Smart Inventory Management for Google Sheets™

Turn your everyday Google Sheets™ into a powerful, automated inventory management system. With GearChain, you can track items, scan barcodes, manage assets, and collaborate with your team directly inside the tools you already use. No new software to learn. No coding. Simply connect GearChain to Google Sheets™ and start managing inventory the smart way.

Why Choose GearChain

Most businesses already use Google Sheets™ for stock tracking because it is simple, accessible, and flexible. But as your inventory grows, manual updates, missing entries, and inconsistent data become unavoidable. GearChain upgrades your spreadsheet into a live inventory platform that connects your team, processes, and assets in real time. You keep the simplicity of Google Sheets™ but gain the automation, accuracy, and power of a modern inventory system.

Real Time Inventory Sync

Every scan, update, or adjustment instantly syncs to your connected Google Sheet. There is no double entry and no delayed reporting. You get accurate, real time inventory data that is accessible anywhere, on any device.

Barcode and NFC Scanning

Identify and update items instantly using 1D or 2D barcodes or NFC tags. Use your mobile device or camera to check in assets, adjust quantities, verify stock, or view item history on the spot. It also supports external barcode scanners.

Custom Fields for Any Workflow

Track the data that matters most to your operations. GearChain supports customizable fields for serial numbers, GPS location, timestamps, suppliers, item conditions, and more. Whether you are in retail, warehousing, healthcare, events, education, or manufacturing, you can tailor GearChain to your workflow.

Seamless Team Collaboration

Share your inventory workspace with team members, clients, or vendors in a few clicks. Role based permissions ensure every user sees only what they need. You stay in full control of changes, access, and data visibility.

AI Powered Insights and Forecasting

GearChain’s intelligent analytics help you understand usage patterns, forecast restock needs, detect anomalies, and prevent shortages before they happen. Instead of reacting to problems, you can plan with confidence.

Blockchain Transparency and Secure Data Logging

Every transaction can be logged on blockchain for traceability and compliance. This gives you an extra layer of transparency and data integrity while still managing everything inside Google Sheets™.

I installed from the Marketplace and then I went to their app via the browser to start the process to assign access but was not able to get through as I blocked by AVAST for Phishing -- I am uninstalling it from Google Workspace now.

Was a good program, but we have literally had nothing but issues. Scans quit logging, new phantom sheets created themselves. We lost so much time messing with trying to get it fixed and our yearly inventory was a wash. Support tried to help, but the issues keep happening. We will be looking for another inventory solution.

How can this possibly be allowed to be posted here? After installing...nothing. Like, nothing. There is no barcode app in my app list at the top right, and there is no app listed in "Open With" in Google Drive. Nothing. /uninstall

No option to delete forms so I deleted the google sheets file to see if that would work. Now I can't use the app at all as it doesn't generate a new google sheets file.

This was a decent solution for it does and for our business however the recent unannounced update completely botched our system. Software updates are necessary, but when unannounced and with no proper roadmap available to follow it's really not a great way to treat your subscribers. Unfortunately, we had to find an alternative solution. Really hoped this could work out better.

If more than one user have to update the sheet, how this program works for the other user? Ex. 5 User Input For 1 Sheet Update. its common problem like for kitchen entry for ingredient stock update.
