PantryMouse Inventory & Shopping Planner

The easy way to keep track of what's in your pantry, what you need, and where to get it.

 

PantryMouse lets you easily track:

  • The pantry items you purchase; categorized
  • How many of an item you like to keep in stock
  • How low the inventory must go for an item before it is considered 'low' (needed).
  • The stores where you shop
  • Which items are at which stores
  • Which aisles the items are on at each store
  • The prices of items at each store

With this information, PantryMouse can:

  • Create a list of needed items based on inventory levels at any time
  • Allow you to create your own lists by dragging and dropping items
  • Create a trip based on a list or currently needed items, choosing each item from either the cheapest store or the preferred store. The items on the trip are ordered by store and aisle for shopping convenience.
  • Print a list of items you can take to your grocer and request that they be stocked

Sneek Peek at PantryMouse

Coming in Q3

PantryMouse was first demonstrated in 2007 at the Adobe AIR Bus Tour when the bus stopped in Atlanta.

It was running an early beta version of AIR called Apollo at the time, and XML database maintenance worked as well as integration with the web's UPC Database.

But we realized that the true promise of PantryMouse couldn't be realized until our shopping lists and inventory could also be available on our mobile handsets, and we could use the camera to read barcodes and import items by simply snapping a picture.

PantryMouse - Coming Soon

A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then. PureMVC and AIR have matured considerably. And in early 2010, Adobe is set to release AIR for mobile, which will allow us to realize our dream of always knowing what we have in our pantry, what we need and where we get it.
