Find the copy and its place.

Set up locations to match your shop, from an aisle down to a shelf. Search the location tree when you place a copy, then filter inventory by a location and everything beneath it.

Label the copies you’re handling.

Each saved copy gets a permanent Spine Identifier. Print a label for one copy, a batch from intake, or copies you select in inventory.

The barcode takes you back to that copy’s record. Preview the labels, then print them or save them as a PDF.

Keep track of time and changes.

Use Age to review stock by the number of days since each copy was added to Spine. Sort or filter the list to find the copies you want to revisit.

Open a copy’s history to see who changed its details, when they changed, and the earlier values. Acquisition details stay with the record, separate from the date it was added.
