What you need to know: The app uses Counting Templates to identify what to count, with each template designed for a specific type of object. For example, to count pipes, you would use the Pipes Template. To count rebars, you would select the Bars & Rebars Template. It’s that easy!
We can also create custom templates using your sample images to ensure accurate counting for your business.
Let's look at a real-life example: counting metal bars.
1
On the Home Screen, tap Change Counting Template
2
Tap the blue button Get More Templates to open the Counting Templates Library.

In the Templates Library ➜ Tap Get on the Template that best matches your items (for example, Bars & Rebars).

You can also search for templates using the search bar.
4
Tap Camera to take a photo of your products or tap Photo to select an image from your gallery.
