Why small businesses outgrow spreadsheets

Spreadsheets stop working

Two people edit the same file, a formula breaks, and nobody trusts the numbers anymore.

You run out without warning

Set a minimum level per product and see what needs reordering before a customer asks.

Stock sits in more than one place

A shop, a storeroom and a van. See what is where instead of guessing or phoning around.

Spreadsheet chaos vs. StockSimple

Same products. Flip the switch and see the difference.

For trade contractors

Van stock tracking from the yard to every job site

Treat each van as its own location. Engineers scan what they use, transfers need approval, and you get an email before a van runs out of the part the next job needs.

  • Per-van and company-wide stock totals
  • Approved transfers, so nothing vanishes in transit
  • Staff roles that hide cost prices from engineers
  • Restock vans straight from purchase orders

01 · Field & mobile

Scan, label, track every van

02 · Orders & AI receiving

From supplier to customer

AI packing slip scanner — receive a delivery from a photoNew

Snap a photo of a supplier delivery note or upload a PDF invoice. AI reads every line, matches it to your purchase order and flags anything that doesn't fit, so receiving takes seconds instead of half an hour of typing. Included on Business, Multi-Location and Enterprise plans.

Purchase orders and line-by-line receiving

Stop retyping supplier invoices. Raise an order, tick off what actually arrived, and your stock updates itself the moment the boxes land.

a customer order portal your clients can use 24/7New

Share one branded link. Wholesale clients browse live stock and prices, then submit orders that land straight in your Customer Orders, ready to ship. No more orders lost in WhatsApp and email. Included on Business, Multi-Location and Enterprise plans.

Customer orders with a verification slip per order

Record what a customer ordered, ship it straight from stock, and print or export a slip showing ordered versus shipped for that exact order. Included on every plan.

03 · Control & reports

Know every cent and change

Job kits and bill of materialsNew

Save the parts a job needs once, then issue the whole kit from a shelf or van in one tap. If a part is short, nothing is deducted. Plus a dead stock report showing cash trapped in slow stock. Starter plan and above.

Know what your stock is worth, to the cent

One click shows the cash tied up in stock at cost, what it is worth at retail and the profit waiting on your shelves, then export the whole valuation to PDF, CSV or Excel for your accountant. Included on Business, Multi-Location and Enterprise plans.

Stocktake mode that ends the annual count nightmare

Count a shelf, an aisle or one category on your phone, see every difference against your records instantly, then apply the whole count in one tap. Every correction is logged as an adjustment, so nothing changes silently. Included on Business, Multi-Location and Enterprise plans.

Staff access without exposing your numbers

Owner, manager, staff and view-only roles let your team record stock while costs and billing stay private to you.

An audit trail that ends mystery shrinkage

Every stock in, stock out, count and transfer is stamped with who did it, where and when. Nothing changes silently.

2

Record what moves

Log deliveries, sales and stock counts, or receive a purchase order and let it update stock for you.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add photos of my products?
Yes. Add a photo to any product from your phone or computer and it shows up in your product list, on the product page and when you scan an item, so staff recognise stock at a glance instead of reading SKUs. Product photos are included on the Business, Multi-Location and Enterprise plans, and in your 14-day free trial.
Can I import my inventory from Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. Upload a CSV or XLSX file with your product names and SKUs. StockSimple shows a preview, flags duplicates and errors, and only imports once you confirm.
Do I need a credit card to try StockSimple?
No. Your 14-day trial gives you full access to every feature without a card. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee on paid plans.
Can I get more products without upgrading?
Yes. Share your personal invite link from Billing. Each business that signs up, confirms their email and adds a product gives you +25 products, up to +100 products free.
Can I print labels on Avery sheets or a thermal printer?
Yes. Use our free label sheet generator for Avery 5160, 5163, 5167 and thermal rolls, no sign-up needed. Inside StockSimple you can print labels straight from your product list.
Can my team have different levels of access?
Yes. Invite people by email and give each person a role: owner, manager, staff or view-only. Only owners can change billing.
Does it handle more than one location?
Yes. Track stock per location, transfer between them with an approval step, and see both per-location and company-wide totals.
Can StockSimple read a packing slip or invoice for me?
Yes. On a purchase order, choose Import receiving document and upload a photo or PDF of the supplier's packing slip or invoice. AI reads the product lines and quantities, matches them to the order and shows a preview. Nothing changes until you confirm. Included on the Business, Multi-Location and Enterprise plans, and in your 14-day free trial.
Can my customers place orders with me online?
Yes. Turn on the customer order portal and share your link. Customers see your live stock, submit an order with their details, and it appears in Customer Orders as a draft for you to confirm and ship. Included on the Business, Multi-Location and Enterprise plans, and in your 14-day free trial.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
Nothing is deleted. Your records stay exactly as they are and become read-only until you start a plan again.
How does barcode scanning work if I don't own a scanner?
You can generate and print barcode and QR labels directly from StockSimple, then scan them instantly using your phone or tablet camera. If you prefer typing, you can also search and adjust stock by standard SKU or product name in seconds. Barcode and QR labels and scanning are included on every plan, from Starter Lite up, and in your 14-day free trial.
Can I scan stock with no signal?
Yes. The phone scanner keeps working offline in basements, steel buildings and rural sites. Scans are saved on the device and sync automatically when you're back on 4G or WiFi.
Does StockSimple export to Xero, QuickBooks or Sage?
Yes. From Reports you can download monthly cost of goods sold, inventory valuation and CONTRACTOR invoices as CSV files laid out for Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, ready for your accountant.
Can I invite my crew without email?
Yes. Every team invitation can be shared by WhatsApp, SMS or copied link in one tap, so field crews can join in seconds. CONTRACTOR jobs also show live gross profit from the materials actually used.
Will StockSimple tell me when something is running low?
Yes. Switch on low-stock email alerts in Settings and StockSimple emails you once a day whenever products fall to or below their minimum level, listing each product, its SKU and how many are left. Automatic low-stock email alerts are included on every plan, including Starter.
How do I do a stocktake without closing the shop?
Use stocktake mode. Start a count for one location, or just one category for a quick cycle count, and enter or scan what is physically there. StockSimple shows the difference against your records line by line, and applying the count records a proper stock adjustment for each product, so your history stays honest. Cycle counting and stocktake mode are included on the Business, Multi-Location and Enterprise plans, and in your 14-day free trial.
Can I see what my stock is worth and send it to my accountant?
Yes. The reports page values your stock at cost and at retail, shows the profit sitting on your shelves and what it would cost to restock, filtered by location or category. Export it as a PDF, CSV or Excel file in one click. Inventory reports and valuation export are included on the Business, Multi-Location and Enterprise plans, and in your 14-day free trial.
Can I manage purchase orders and customer orders too?
Yes. StockSimple combines purchase order and inventory management software in one: raise purchase orders with suppliers, receive deliveries line by line, then ship customer orders in full or in part. Stock updates automatically on both sides, and order management is included on every plan.
What is the best simple inventory software for a small business?
The best small business inventory management software is the one your team will actually use every day. StockSimple keeps stock tracking, barcode scanning, purchase orders, multiple locations and low-stock alerts in one tool with no setup fee, no sales call and plans from just $6.99 a month.
Does StockSimple work for inventory management across multiple locations?
Yes. Track stock per shop, warehouse or van, move it between them with an approval step, and still see one company-wide total. Multi-location inventory management is included on the Multi-Location and Enterprise plans, and in your 14-day free trial.
