AI inventory & headcount for any space

Turn any space into a searchable inventory.
Know exactly what — or who — is there.

Take a few photos or a short video of any space and PlaceMap's AI builds a searchable inventory automatically — every item pinned to its exact spot. Scan a group and it counts people, too: everyone present, nobody left behind. Then just ask where anything, or anyone, is.

  • ✓ Scan a space — the inventory builds itself, no typing
  • ✓ Scan a group — a live headcount, nobody left behind
  • ✓ Ask where anything, or anyone, is — anytime

One engine. Endless places.

Anywhere you need to know what—or who—is there and where.

The exact same scan-to-inventory engine, wherever things — or people — pile up, get stored, gather, or need to be accounted for.

Scan

Take a few photos or shoot a video of any room, shelf, box, trailer, or warehouse.

AI builds your inventory

Objects are recognized automatically and organized into a searchable inventory.

Find anything

Ask where something is and PlaceMap tells you exactly where to look.

What it does

Capture. Locate. Monitor.

You capture a space once. PlaceMap remembers what's in it, where each thing sits, and what changes over time.

Capture

Photograph or film any space

Snap a few photos or shoot a quick video — a room, a shelf, a trailer, a warehouse aisle. The AI recognizes what's in it and builds an itemized, searchable inventory — no typing an inventory by hand.

Locate

Every item knows where it belongs

Each thing is pinned to its exact place — the room, the shelf, the bin, the box, right down to “behind the blue toolbox.” Ask in plain words and PlaceMap points you to it.

Monitor

Know what changed over time

Every scan is a baseline. Re-scan later and PlaceMap shows what moved, what's missing, and what's new — so a space is never a mystery again.

Why it's different

Inventory apps know what. PlaceMap knows where.

A list tells you that you own a drill. PlaceMap tells you it's on the workbench, bottom shelf, behind the blue toolbox — and shows it on an interactive map of the space.

  • The place, not just the label

    A real location in a real space — “back wall, layer 2, behind Box 18” — not a row in a spreadsheet.

  • Ask in plain words

    “Where are the Christmas lights?” beats scrolling a database. The AI understands what you meant.

  • An interactive map of the space

    PlaceMap places every item and gives you a live map you can spin, so you see exactly where things sit.

You asked: “Where's the power drill?”

PlaceMap × Waypoints

One map. Every place — and everything inside it.

Waypoints maps the places. PlaceMap fills them with a live, searchable inventory. Drill from a map of every location all the way down to the exact shelf — where's the place, and what's in it. Buy either on its own; together they're a digital twin of your operation.

Waypoints — the places PlaceMap — what's inside Every count came from a phone scan — no manual entry.

Spatial intelligence, not just inventory

Everywhere you need to know what—or who—is there.

PlaceMap answers one universal question: what (or who) is in this place, and where exactly is it? Objects, people, animals, equipment, vehicles, collections — the same engine. Inventory is simply the first application. Here's where it goes.

FAQ

Straight answers.

What kinds of spaces does it work in?
Any of them. A closet, a garage, a storage unit, a warehouse aisle, a job trailer, a stockroom, a whole household. If you can photograph it, PlaceMap can turn it into a searchable inventory that knows where everything is.
Do I have to type the inventory by hand?
No — that's the whole point. You photograph the space and the AI recognizes what's in it, building the list for you. You just glance at it and confirm or fix anything it misread.
How does it know where something physically is?
PlaceMap ties each item to its place from your photos — the room, the shelf, the bin, the box, and its spot in the stack — and shows it on an interactive map of the space. That's what lets it answer “bottom shelf, behind the blue toolbox” instead of just listing that you own the thing.
Does it need special labels or QR codes?
No. A number written on a box with a marker is enough — PlaceMap reads it from your photo. QR labels are an optional extra for businesses that want printed, scannable tags, but they're never required.
Can it tell me when something changed?
Yes — that's Monitor. Your first scan is a baseline. Re-scan the space later and PlaceMap compares them, so you can see what moved, what's missing, and what's new. Useful for a job trailer, a rental turnover, a storage unit, or an insurance record.
Is it a phone app or desktop?
Phone-first — capturing and finding happen right where you're standing. A desktop side handles the heavier work for bigger inventories and teams: managing, exporting, reports, permissions, and editing maps. Like Google Photos: capture on your phone, organize on the desktop.
