# InventoryHQ Mobile App: iOS and Android Setup Guide

> Download the InventoryHQ mobile app on iOS or Android, log in with your existing account, and manage inventory from the warehouse, job site, or office.

The InventoryHQ mobile app puts your inventory, job activity, and reorder alerts in your crew's pocket — wherever the work takes them. Field users can log material usage on the job site, managers can check stock levels from the road, and everyone stays in sync with the same real-time data that powers the web dashboard. The app is available for both iOS and Android at no additional charge on any InventoryHQ plan.

## Log in to the app

Open the app after installation and sign in with the same email address and password you use for the InventoryHQ web dashboard. You do not need a separate mobile account — your user profile, role, and permissions carry over automatically.

<Note>
  Your role determines what you see in the app. Manager-level users can edit inventory quantities and job details. Installer-level users can view stock and log material usage, but cannot edit the catalog or access financial data. See [User Permissions](/settings/user-permissions) for the full breakdown.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the app and tap Sign In">
    Launch InventoryHQ on your device. Tap **Sign In** on the welcome screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your credentials">
    Type the email address and password associated with your InventoryHQ account. These are the same credentials you use on the web.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select your location (if applicable)">
    If your account includes multiple warehouse locations, you'll be prompted to select your primary location. You can switch locations at any time from the app's main menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable notifications">
    When prompted, allow push notifications. This ensures you receive reorder alerts and job updates on your device as they happen.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What you can do on mobile

The InventoryHQ mobile app is designed for fast, on-the-go access to the tasks your team performs most often in the field.

## Where you can use it

The InventoryHQ mobile app works anywhere you have a data connection — no need to be on the same Wi-Fi network as your office.

* **In the warehouse** — Receive materials, update quantities, and pull stock against jobs as you're loading trucks in the morning.
* **On the job site** — Log what your crew installs as the work happens so your job costs and inventory counts stay current throughout the day.
* **From the office** — Managers can check dashboards, review activity logs, and approve material requests without switching to a desktop browser.

<Tip>
  Encourage your field crew to log material usage at the end of each day before they leave the job site. Same-day logging keeps your inventory counts accurate and eliminates the "Friday catch-up" problem where a week of usage gets entered all at once.
</Tip>

<Warning>
  The mobile app requires an active internet connection to sync data. If you lose connectivity on a job site, the app will queue your entries locally and sync them automatically once your connection is restored. Always verify that pending entries have synced before closing out a job.
</Warning>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I can't log in — my credentials aren't working">
    Make sure you're using the email address that received your InventoryHQ invitation. If you've forgotten your password, tap **Forgot Password** on the login screen to receive a reset link by email. If the issue persists, ask your account manager to confirm that your user account is active in **Settings → Team**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I'm not receiving push notifications">
    Check that notifications are enabled for the InventoryHQ app in your device's system settings (iOS: Settings → Notifications → InventoryHQ; Android: Settings → Apps → InventoryHQ → Notifications). Also confirm that notification preferences are turned on in the app under **Profile → Notification Settings**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="My inventory changes aren't showing up on the web dashboard">
    If your changes appear to be stuck, check your device's internet connection. The app will display a sync indicator in the top bar when entries are queued but not yet uploaded. Pull down to refresh once connectivity is restored to force an immediate sync.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The app is available but I don't see all the features">
    Your role controls which features are visible in the app. If you need access to something you can't see, ask your account manager to review your permissions in **Settings → Team**. See [User Permissions](/settings/user-permissions) for a full list of what each role can access.
