Start Free TrialAlmost every shop starts with a notebook or a spreadsheet, and for a while that is the right choice. This page helps you see when it starts costing more than it saves.
| Notebook or Excel | Up Stock | |
|---|---|---|
| Stock levels | Correct only after someone updates the sheet | Updated by every sale, purchase and transfer |
| Several staff | Copies of the file that disagree | One account, everyone working at the same time |
| Several stores | A sheet per shop and phone calls | Stock per store and recorded transfers |
| Running low | Noticed when the shelf is empty | Push alert when an item drops below its minimum |
| Expiry dates | Checked by hand, if at all | Kept per batch, with warnings and a report |
| Profit | Sales minus a rough guess of cost | Daily profit costed first in, first out |
| Credit customers | A notebook page per customer | Balances and part payments on each sale |
| Finding an item | Scrolling and typing | Scan the barcode with your phone |
| Who changed what | Unknown | Every record shows who created and changed it |
| Cost | Free, plus your time and the mistakes | A monthly or yearly plan, with a free trial |
