Simple inventory management, minus the ERP baggage
Most tools start simple and bloat fast — 14 menu items, a costing-method wizard, a “module” to enable. StockZip hides everything the median user doesn’t need on day one, so the default screen stays the work: scan, adjust, move.
You want stock to match reality today, not after a kickoff call, a data-import session and a “success” check-in. Import a CSV or add a handful of items by hand and you’re counting the same afternoon.
If they can use a phone camera, they can use StockZip. The mobile flow is three actions — scan, adjust, move — so there’s nothing to train and nothing to forget.
Scan. Adjust ±1. Move.
This is the whole system — the loop that carries a small business day to day. Everything heavier waits in settings until you actually ask for it.
Type a name and quantity (a photo is optional — every other field has a sensible default), then stick a manufacturer barcode or a QR label on it. Reusing existing barcodes is free; printing your own labels is a Starter feature.
Point your phone camera at the label, tap ±1 to record what sold, arrived or broke, and pick a reason. No handheld scanner, no plugins, no Bluetooth pairing ritual required.
Shift stock between folders with a scan and let per-item minimums build your reorder list. When you outgrow simple, turn on the audit log, custom fields and reports — all Starter features — without changing how the loop works.
