01
Measure the collection
Define ordered source segments and destination shelves. Enter lengths in inches, centimeters, or feet, or import a validated measurement CSV with source-row traceability.
Waiting for review · iPad & iPhone
Move the collection without losing the order.
ShelfWaypoint turns measured shelf space and growth targets into a move plan that preserves the order entered by library staff, with cart instructions, checkpoints, and a final shelf reading.
Submitted for App Review. Not yet available on the App Store.
One continuous workflow
From the first measurement to the final shelf.
02
Compare the route
Choose a target fill, account for obstructions and oversize material, and compare saved scenarios. Fixed shelf starts and whole-segment rules produce an explanation when the plan cannot fit.
03
Move in sequence
Approve a version, then follow its waves and bounded cart portions. Record observed call-number bounds, loading and unloading, and the next checkpoint to resume on the same device.
04
Read, resolve, report
Record exceptions with custody and an owner. Verify or explicitly defer destination shelves, compare actual occupied space, and retain the final audit with the approved plan.
Your project, on your device.
Plan and record the move locally, without a ShelfWaypoint account. Save a JSON backup to Files, restore an earlier project, and choose when to share a record. Purchasing and restoring Professional uses Apple's services.
QR checkpoints are optional. Manual confirmation works when scanning is unavailable. Projects do not automatically synchronize between devices.
Read how information is handledInstructions that travel with the cart.
Professional adds PDF move packets, cart labels, source and destination signs, restart instructions, and CSV audits. Reports use the approved version and its recorded checkpoints.
Staff define classification order and observe the actual split points. ShelfWaypoint measures linear space; it does not replace a catalog, identify every book, or assess cart weight and safe handling.
Planned launch offer
