How it works

Three steps, then it keeps up on its own

Stock counts go wrong when updating them is a separate task somebody has to remember. Here it is a side effect of selling.

Step 1

List what you carry

Product, cost, price and how many you have. Import a spreadsheet if you already keep one.

Step 2

Sell and restock as normal

Every sale takes stock down and every purchase order puts it back, without a second entry.

Step 3

Get told before you run out

Set a reorder point per product and the low-stock warning arrives while there is still time to order.

Beyond the count

What each product actually costs you

Knowing you have eleven left is useful. Knowing what those eleven cost, what they sell for, and which supplier gave you the better price is what tells you whether the product is worth carrying at all.

  • Cost and margin held per product, not just quantity
  • Purchase orders that update stock when they arrive
  • Low stock alerts on the reorder point you choose

Why it matters

What changes when the count is trustworthy

You stop selling what you do not have

A count that updates as you sell is a count you can quote from without checking the shelf first.

Reordering happens on time

Low stock warnings fire on your reorder point, not when a customer asks for something you cannot supply.

You can see which products earn

Cost and price held together turn a stock list into a margin list, which is the one that matters.

No more counting twice

Sales and purchase orders both move stock automatically, so the spreadsheet reconciliation disappears.
