KNOWARE  

Software for Education and Industry

Knoware It Is! 

A personal storage/inventory computer program to help keep your life organized.  You import a layout of your boat, RV, shop, home, cottage, condo, storeroom, etc. then mark storage locations by clicking on the layout (see the X's below). Then you click on an X and add items to the storage location. It's that simple. You can:

• categorize items 
• name storage locations
• have items of the same category stored at different locations
• search for any item and its X will blink on and off indicating where it is
• view the entire database of items, categories, locations, and layouts
• have any number of layouts, ie: a plan view and an elevation, or a plan view of every room, or an elevation of every wall showing storage shelves, etc.
• create a Tasks List with due dates and reminder dates for each task.  Each time the program is opened, it checks the reminder dates to see if a task is due.

Getting the layout of your boat, camper, cottage, condo, etc. is easy.  You can scan a brochure, use a digital picture, download the layout from the Internet, or even draw your own.  The program accepts any .jpg, .gif, .bmp, .dib, .wmf, or .emf  file as a layout by clicking File>Import Layout. 

Use the program to keep track of items in your boat, RV, garage, condo, etc. or to do an inventory of your furnished condo each time it is rented.

The first 3 pictures below show the program being used for boat storage, and the last 3 pictures show the program being used for inventory control of a furnished condo rental.  Same program; lots of uses! Click here to download a free demo version: Knoware It Is! Demo.
