Shop-floor counting
Stock Count App for Small Businesses
Scan barcodes, enter physical quantities, work offline, and export Excel or CSV count results directly from your phone. Retail Scan & Stock helps small retailers and stockroom teams run focused counting sessions without clipboards or desktop software.
Barcodes, quantities, and a catalog that matches the shelf
You scan items during a count, adjust quantities with quick controls, and keep one line per product in a session so the record stays easy to review. Unknown barcodes can flow into a quick-add flow so you can keep moving instead of stopping the whole count.
When you complete an inventory session, on-hand stock in the app is updated from your counted quantities—so your next walk starts from numbers that reflect what you just verified.
Choose how you count: full quantities or faster scan-to-increment
For a full stock take, use exact count mode: scan a product, enter the total on hand, and rescan later if you need to correct the line. For faster passes—cycle-style checks or receiving-style workflows—you can use scan-to-increment mode so each scan adds one until you adjust manually.
The same mobile-first idea carries into purchase orders : scan lines, adjust quantities, then export when the order is ready.
Built for small retailers, not enterprise procurement
The app targets micro-retail and independent shops that need dependable stock counts and straightforward exports—not nested approvals, label printers, or integration marketplaces. If your team lives on the floor, the goal is to finish counts during business hours and hand suppliers a file they can actually use.
Read the Retail Scan & Stock homepage for the full feature set, pricing context, and FAQs—then install the app on iPhone or Android to try your own catalog.
Operational questions & store workflows
1. What operational problem does this solve?
Counting inventory with paper forms or memory leads to unreadable handwriting, lost sheets, transposed product codes, and hours of double-entry into spreadsheets after store hours. Retail Scan & Stock eliminates paper-to-digital transcription by capturing barcodes and counted quantities right at the shelf fixture.
2. Who has this problem?
Independent grocers, convenience store owners, specialty food markets, kiosks, bakeries, and retail boutiques that maintain hundreds or thousands of physical items and need periodic, verified stock audits.
3. What does the phone counting workflow look like?
You start an inventory session on your phone, scan an item barcode with your camera, confirm the product match, enter the shelf count, and move to the next item. The app consolidates multiple passes into clear session totals to update your on-hand stock records.
4. Where does phone-based counting help most?
In narrow retail aisles, on stepladders, and across display racks where laptops are cumbersome and expensive laser guns are unnecessary. Smartphone scanning makes routine cycle counting practical during normal business hours.
5. What can you do completely free?
Manage up to 1,000 catalog products, conduct counting sessions, maintain 30 days of session history, keep up to 5 open drafts, and export records to CSV or Excel without subscription fees.
6. When is a paid tier useful?
Store: Cloud sync and more capacity. Multi-Store: Longer history and more devices. Business: Unlimited history and up to 20 devices.
7. What does the application focus on?
It focuses on practical mobile inventory counting and order capture for small store operations, providing a streamlined tool rather than a complex corporate ERP platform.
