SmSt Stocks The stock book

SmSt Stocks

The shelf,
finally in one place.

Add what you sell, record what moves and see what the shelf is worth. The book updates itself, so closing time is a read, not a recount.

The item, not just the count

A product is a price, a cost and a history.

A count on its own cannot tell you whether the shelf is making money. SmSt Stocks keeps the buying price and the selling price beside the quantity, then shows the margin and the value of what is left.

  • Photos, weights, pack sizes and categories, so the item on the shelf is the item in the book.
  • A restock level on each item. The app decides what is low, not the person guessing.
  • The last movements for that item, with the person and the time attached.

The ledger

Every change has a line, and every line has a reason.

Sales take stock out. Deliveries, returns and opening stock put it back. Losses and corrections are recorded instead of quietly changing the count. The line is the source of truth for the whole app.

Before the customer asks

The reorder list writes itself.

Set a reorder level once. SmSt Stocks watches every sale and delivery, then puts the item on the list when it crosses the line. It suggests how much to order and what that order will cost.

  • Low and out of stock are separate states, so urgency is visible.
  • The suggested order brings the shelf back to twice the reorder level.
  • Add the delivery from the same list and the count closes the loop.

The public shelf

Let customers see what you actually have.

Publish a product or the whole shop to a share link. Customers can open the catalogue, see the price and the stock state, and send an order. The order lands in the app, beside the stock it belongs to.

  • One link for the shop, one link for a single product.
  • Out of stock is shown before a customer tries to order.
  • Orders arrive with the customer, the items and the time.
