ark.stock is built by a Swiss AV company that has been using its own tools every day since 2024. The features are made for real flight-case work: fast scanning, batch send sessions, photo-based return checks, billing handed to ark.plan in one click.
Cameras, mics, projectors — traced to the serial number.
Five XLR cables lost on a shoot, a Radial DI missing from the flight case on return, an SM58 sitting on a set. Without serial-number tracking, that is several thousand francs a year vanishing into silent depreciation — an amount few rental houses actually measure.
Every production ships with a list — and every list is hand-checked, sometimes lost, retyped the night before. The result: a buffer window before every shoot just to double-check, and the inevitable missed items forcing a same-day round-trip to deliver the missing part.
A quote sent by e-mail, accepted verbally, revised three times — nobody really knows which version was signed. Invoices are generated by hand without a Swiss QR-bill, and reminders depend on the day someone remembers to open the folder.
Activate only what your trade needs. The rest stays off — you don't pay for what you don't open.
Item records with photo + serial + auto-generated QR.
Flight cases, racks, trucks — unlimited nesting.
Rental projects tracked through 5 states, with a separate line for consumables.
QR/barcode/NFC scanner · post-scan actions.
Billing through ark.plan: one finished project, one click, the invoice is created in ark.plan.
Preventive service for sensitive gear (FX9, Varicam).
Three previews faithfully rebuilt from real ark.stock screens — picked for this trade.
Scan a flight-case QR, pick the borrower, validate. Send-session done in seconds.
