How a Locksmith Uses Scanlily to Simplify Inventory

Evan Caulfield uses Scanlily at his desk at Fuquay Locks

Evan Caulfield, owner of Fuquay Locks in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, uses Scanlily to keep track of the tools, parts, and keys he works with on a daily basis. With so many items involved in locksmith work, Scanlily has made staying organized much simpler for his business.

One of Evan’s go-to features is AI image recognition. When new parts come in, he takes a photo of the invoice, and Scanlily automatically creates a container within the app. From there, the app populates details like make, model, and serial number, into the correct fields, logging each item into the system right away. It saves time, eliminates the need for manual inventory entry, and gives him a clear record of what items he has available.

Evan demonstrates how he uses Scanlily to inventory his wall-mounted board of keys. By taking a photo of the board, Scanlily identified the key numbers and quickly turned them into a digital inventory he could view and manage in the app. It gave him a fast, accurate snapshot of his inventory without the hassle of tracking each key manually.

“It’s an amazing piece of technology that can help people get into the business a lot faster and easier than I’ve gotten into it,” Evan said.

For Evan, Scanlily is a practical and efficient way to simplify inventory management. Whether he’s tracking incoming parts, reviewing existing tools, or simply checking what items he has available, the app helps him stay organized and keeps everything easily managed—so he can focus more on running and growing his business.
