Inventory counting app for small businesses

Industry-specific inventory workflows

Practical counting routines adapted to the real physical items and spaces of small businesses.

Retail & specialty shops

From convenience stores and boutique gift shops to neighborhood grocers, count display shelves and backroom stock during quiet hours without customer disruption.

  • Barcode scanning directly from your phone camera with zero hardware guns
  • Fast cycle counts by aisle or shelf zone to spot shrinkage early
  • Instant purchase order drafting from low-stock counts to send to distributors

Cafés, coffee shops & food service

Keep track of coffee bean bags, alternative milks, syrups, disposable cups, and packaged goods in high-turnover hospitality environments.

  • Reliable offline operation in metal walk-in coolers and basement storage
  • Count dry goods, beverage cartons, and packaging supplies in minutes
  • Export clean order sheets to share with local roasters and beverage vendors

Salons, barbershops & studios

Audit high-value hair color tubes, styling products, treatment supplies, and retail shelf items across styling stations and stock cabinets.

  • Distinguish backbar professional supplies from retail checkout stock
  • Prevent stockouts of essential treatment formulas and shades
  • Share weekly supply usage reports with the salon owner or accountant

Repair shops, trade services & contractors

Track replacement parts, service components, hardware fittings, and consumables stored in service vans, workshop bins, and storage racks.

  • Scan manufacturer barcodes on parts boxes and component packs
  • Maintain verified counts across workshop shelves and field vehicles
  • Export Excel replenishment sheets for trade suppliers and parts wholesalers

Cleaning & facility maintenance services

Monitor cleaning chemicals, paper goods, safety gear, and janitorial consumables across central supply closets and client facility locations.

  • Track bulk consumable stock without manual clipboard sheets
  • Audit custodial closets and storage rooms with patchy cellular coverage
  • Generate structured reorder files for commercial janitorial distributors

Stockrooms & local branch counting

For small businesses with stockrooms, workshops, kiosks, or local service sites where staff count on-site and report inventory to a manager or central office.

  • Conduct regular cycle counts with clear timestamped session records
  • Cloud sync across supported devices on paid plans
  • Export clean spreadsheet reports to share with owners, accountants, or central management

Across industries

Count locally. Report centrally.

This is a use case, not another industry card. An employee at a branch, kiosk, workshop, or remote site physically counts stock, records quantities on a phone, exports a structured CSV or Excel file, and sends it to the owner, manager, accountant, or head office. It does not require POS integration.
