Propolis

Props · costumes · set pieces

Every prop and costume, the shelf it lives on, and the show it’s pulled for.

Propolis is the storage inventory built for theatres. Know what you own, find it in seconds, and send every production off with a pull list that keeps track of itself.

Made for the storeroom, not the office

  • Walk your storage like folders

    Rooms, shelves and boxes, nested the way they really are. Open a room, step into a box, and see exactly what’s inside.

  • Find it from a photo

    Point your phone at a prop and Propolis finds the ones that look like it, so you know whether you already own one, and where it lives.

  • Bring your spreadsheet

    Import the inventory you already keep, as an Excel workbook or a CSV, photos included. Columns it has no field for are kept and searchable.

  • Search everything

    Names, descriptions, materials, donors, inventory numbers. Type “brass” and find the candlestick, the tray and the lantern.

  • Pull for a show

    Build each production’s pull list, then walk a checklist on your phone, grouped by room and box in the order you’d fetch them.

  • Labels that open the box

    Print a QR label for every shelf and box. Scan one and the phone shows what should be in it.

From spreadsheet to shelf

  1. 01

    Bring in what you have

    Import your spreadsheet, or add items one photo at a time. The photo fills in the name and description for you.

  2. 02

    Put it where it lives

    Set up your rooms, shelves and boxes, file each item, and print labels for the boxes.

  3. 03

    Pull, check, return

    Give each show its pull list, tick things off as they leave the shelves, and see what’s still out.

It works on the phone in your pocket: install it to your home screen, and the pages and checklists you’ve opened keep working in a basement with no signal. Everyone in your theatre shares one inventory, and each theatre’s is private to it.
