Problem

Stocktaking in bars — measuring how much is left in every bottle — was slow and inaccurate.

Solution

A mobile device that recognises the drink, weighs the bottle and sends the data over Wi-Fi to a customer portal with history, statistics and integrations.

Result

  • up to 60% less time spent on stocktaking
  • Device + portal prototype, development and product sold

About the project

White Digital’s first commercial IoT project. We prototyped and built both the Barspector device and the customer portal. The product was sold to SIA “Barspector”, which later also ordered the product website barspector.com from us.

How it works

  • A mobile device recognises the drink, measures the bottle’s weight and sends the data over Wi-Fi to the bar’s profile in the portal.
  • The customer portal stores the stocktaking history, bar profiles and a drinks database, and is integrated with bar systems.

Result

Bars carry out fast and accurate stocktaking and save up to 60% of the time. Fewer measurement errors, fast data exchange with bar management and accounting systems, stocktaking history, statistics and a summary of bottle levels.
