I’m building OpsIris, a lightweight operational ledger for small, gear-heavy teams to keep jobs, people, and equipment in sync without drowning in spreadsheets or adopting bloated rental/ERP systems.
Small businesses running 2–20 person crew with lots of gear (production/AV/events/photo/field service/touring/small rentals), have dealt with: * “Who has the xx?” (buried in texts/group chats) * Multiple versions of the “real” gear list * Pack lists that are outdated the moment the job changes * Mystery cases with no serials/ownership documented * Loans that disappear until you need the item
What it does (core workflow): * Create a job → assign crew + gear * Gear assignments auto-generate pack/load checklists * Track gear with serial/value/owner/status (on job / repair / missing) * QR labels + mobile scanning to identify/check items fast * Loan tracking with return dates + history * CSV import/export so you can migrate in/out
Looking for feedback: 1. What features are non-negotiable for you to adopt something like this? 2. What would make you stick with your current system instead? 3. If you already use a tool for this, what do you love about it, and what’s it missing?
