TIM Is Reliable. But Is It the Best Value?

The Inventory Manager (TIM) has been around for over a decade, and that longevity is genuinely something. A loyal customer base, a reliable product, and a pay-per-report model that avoids the property-count trap. For people who just need something that does the job and don't ask much more of it, TIM has served them well.

But the market has moved on. Letting agents and inventory clerks are asking for faster syncing, cleaner interfaces, real-time support, and integrations that talk properly to the CRMs they already use. They want a software partner that ships updates regularly and builds around their workflows. Not a product that's stayed largely the same for years.

Wooma is built for where the industry is now. Faster. More intuitive. More affordable on a per-report basis. And with a team that treats your business as their own. The complete package: everything you need, at a far more competitive price.

Where it matters most

The price difference adds up fast

The Inventory Manager (TIM) pioneered pay-per-report pricing in this market, and that was the right call. But the per-report rates have not kept pace with what's available today.

From the founder

A better product, at a better price. And a team that picks up.

The Inventory Manager has done a lot of things right. It was one of the first platforms to bring pay-per-report pricing to this market, and that model still makes more sense than charging per property. The customers who've stuck with it for ten or twelve years are loyal for a reason: it's dependable, it does the job, and when you know it well, it works.

But there's a gap between dependable and excellent. A ticket system that's office-hours only is not the same as a team you can reach any time, on any day, who actually know your account. A product that hasn't changed much in years is not the same as one that ships improvements every week based on what customers are asking for. And report prices that are three or four times higher than what's available elsewhere are not the same as genuinely competitive pricing.

Wooma is built to be the version of TIM that exists for the market as it is now. Same instinct (pay for what you create, not what you own) but faster, cleaner, cheaper, and with a team behind it that builds around you. Custom integrations. Modern infrastructure. Real-time sync. An interface people actually enjoy using.

If TIM is working for you, that's great. But if you've ever wished the product moved a bit faster, the prices were a bit lower, or someone picked up a bit quicker when something went wrong, that's exactly what Wooma is built to fix.

Just get in touch. We'll show you what it looks like.

FAQ

Common questions about switching from TIM to Wooma.

Wooma is the leading The Inventory Manager (TIM) alternative for letting agents, inventory clerks and landlords in the UK. Wooma offers a genuinely free plan, competitive per-report pricing, 24/7 live support, weekly product updates, and a hands-on team that builds custom integrations to fit your exact workflow. All at a fraction of the price TIM charges.

Yes, significantly. TIM charges £5.95 per inventory, check-in or check-out report, and requires a £120 upfront credit payment just to open a full account. Wooma starts from £1.50 per report with no set-up fees and no upfront credit required. For a busy inventory clerk doing ten check-outs a month, that is the difference between paying £15 and £59.50, just on check-outs alone.

Wooma charges from £1.50 per inventory, check-in or check-out report. The Inventory Manager (TIM) charges £5.95 per equivalent report. That is nearly four times the Wooma price. For periodic and HMO inspections, TIM charges £2.50 per report versus Wooma's £1.50. There are also no set-up fees with Wooma and no upfront credit to unlock a full account.

Yes. Wooma includes 5 free inventory reports every month with no credit card required and no time limit. The Inventory Manager has no free plan. You need to go through a free trial to access the platform, and a £120 upfront credit payment is required to open a full account. Wooma lets you sign up instantly and start creating reports straight away.

Yes. Wooma has instant sign-up — no approval process, no trial period to navigate, no upfront payment. You can create your first report within minutes of signing up. The Inventory Manager requires a free trial before you can access the full platform, and then a £120 upfront credit to unlock it properly.

Yes. Wooma offers 24/7 live support from real people — no ticket system, no bots, no waiting until office hours. The Inventory Manager operates a support ticket system only, with responses during office hours. If something goes wrong on a weekend or late at night, you're waiting. With Wooma, there's always someone available.

Yes. Wooma offers a full custom integration build service at no extra cost. If your CRM or property management system is not already on our integration list, we will build it for you. The Inventory Manager only integrates with FixFlo and SME Professional — there is no custom build service and no way to extend the platform to meet your specific needs.

Yes. Wooma ships weekly product updates based directly on customer feedback, with a transparent roadmap so you always know what's coming. The Inventory Manager is an established product with a loyal customer base, but updates appear infrequently and the core product has remained largely unchanged for years. If you want a platform that moves at the speed your business needs, Wooma is built for that.

Yes. Wooma offers a fully managed, zero-cost migration service. Our data team handles the entire process — your reports, templates and settings all move across securely, with nothing left behind. You keep working normally while we handle everything in the background. Most users are fully transitioned within a week.

Yes. White label reports are included on every Wooma plan from day one — your branding on every report, with no Wooma watermarks, ever. The Inventory Manager does offer branding customisation via account settings, so this is one area where both platforms provide some level of white labelling.

You can be creating reports in Wooma the same day you sign up. Sign-up is instant with no approval process. The Wooma team handles your data migration from TIM in the background while you continue working. Most agents and clerks are fully transitioned within a week, with zero data loss.

Yes. Wooma is built to be intuitive from day one with a clean, modern interface that feels fast and delightful to use on any device. The Inventory Manager is a functional product that established users know well, but the interface reflects its age. Wooma is designed for the way the industry works today, built on modern infrastructure for speed and reliability, and up and running in minutes.

Letting agents and inventory clerks are switching from The Inventory Manager to Wooma for three main reasons: price, support, and speed of development. Wooma includes 5 free reports every month and charges from £1.50 per report beyond that, compared to The Inventory Manager's £5.95 per report. Wooma also offers 24/7 live support rather than a ticket system, and ships weekly product updates versus the infrequent releases seen on The Inventory Manager platform in recent years.
