SIMPLE BY DESIGN

The essentials, working together.

Inventory should make everyday work easier. Start with the basics, then shape the catalog around your business.

01

Shape your catalog

Keep the details your business needs. Add your own fields and use familiar units, categories, SKUs, or barcodes.

02

Know what is on hand

See quantities by location and spot what needs attention without digging through a spreadsheet.

03

Keep a clear history

Record receipts and adjustments with a reason, so the number on screen has a trail behind it.

ONE FLEXIBLE FOUNDATION

Your business is not a template.

Track a finished product, a repair part, a supply, or a material. Configure the product details and units that make sense for your work.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Inventory should stand on its own.

Clear answers about how the standalone product works today.

Can I use inventory without a POS?

Yes. Inventory is a standalone product. A point-of-sale system is not required to organize a catalog or record stock changes.

What kinds of items can a business track?

A business can track goods it sells, parts it uses, materials it consumes, or supplies it needs to keep available. The useful record depends on the work: a name, unit, and optional identifier such as an SKU or barcode. See our guides for hardware store stock and repair shop parts.

Is inventory management only for retail?

No. The same basic stock process can support retailers, workshops, studios, repair teams, and other businesses that keep products, parts, materials, or supplies on hand.

How should I choose a unit of measure?

Choose the unit people actually count or use, such as each, box, pair, meter, or kilogram. If purchasing and using units differ, write down the conversion so everyone reads the quantity the same way.

Why record a reason when stock changes?

A reason such as receipt, damage, use, transfer, or count correction makes a balance easier to reconcile. Keep the quantity, item, location, and time together so the team can explain what changed.

How do I start if my records are in a spreadsheet?

Begin with a physical count and a clean list of item names and units. Pick the items that matter most, check the opening quantities, then record each new change consistently.

Can I import products from a spreadsheet?

Yes. The workspace accepts CSV with product names, units, and on-hand quantities, plus optional identifiers, categories, locations, reorder points, and configured custom fields. Review the import preview before applying it.

Can I track stock at more than one location?

Yes. Keep a separate balance for each item and location, record transfers between locations, and review quantities by location.

Will the app automatically place a purchase order when stock is low?

No. Reorder points are in-app review reminders. They do not create purchase orders or place orders with suppliers.

Do stock alerts send email or text messages?

In-app reorder reminders are available. Business admins can opt into email alerts when the server email provider is configured; text message alerts are not currently supported.

Can inventory work for a hardware store?

Yes. Track products such as fasteners, tools, and building supplies with the names, categories, identifiers, units, and configurable fields that make sense for the store. Use consistent units and distinguish stock by location.

Can a repair shop track parts without a repair POS?

Yes. Inventory can be maintained as a standalone catalog with stock locations and movement history. Job tickets, invoicing, and accounting are separate workflows unless connected through an explicit integration.

Can a small manufacturer use inventory without an MRP system?

Yes, for separately tracking materials, parts, supplies, and finished items by unit and location. Bills of materials, production orders, material requirements, and work-in-process accounting are separate capabilities.
