Getting started
Create your account
Section titled “Create your account”- Go to app.kiste-app.de/signup and create an account with your name, email, and a password.
- Set up your organisation — this is the workspace your team and inventory live in. You can rename it later in Settings → Organisation.
Invite your team
Section titled “Invite your team”Once your organisation is set up, go to Settings → Team to invite people by email. Each person gets one of three roles:
- Admin — full access, including locations, categories, and team management.
- Member — full inventory CRUD (items, movements, loans), no admin-only settings.
- Viewer — can create and move/take inventory, but can’t delete anything or touch admin settings.
See Roles & permissions for the full breakdown.
Add your first items
Section titled “Add your first items”Head to Inventory → Add item to create your first item, or use Inventory → Import CSV to bring in an existing spreadsheet. Each item can have a quantity, unit, category, and location.
Set up locations
Section titled “Set up locations”Locations are hierarchical: a site (a building or room) can contain shelves, and shelves can contain boxes. Go to Locations to set this structure up before assigning items to shelves or boxes.
Print labels
Section titled “Print labels”Once you have items and locations, go to Labels to download or print QR code labels — you can choose a size (small/medium/large) and orientation (vertical/horizontal) to fit whatever you’re labelling, from a cable tie to a shelf edge.
