Great easy to use and simple

I only use to order from my suppliers and receipt into inventory. Sales are done by my online sites and Etsy. Also like to have my stock items with pictures, easy setup of categories etc. and purchasing history. The email purchasing side and receipting into stock is simple and accurate and easy. Highly recommended for small businesses and ecommerce guys like me with several sites. My stock is mainly boomerangs, soft toys and puppets and gift boxes, stationary and specialist packing material. Satisfies all my business needs.

Amazing

I have been using this App on my iPhone for the last two years to keep track of my inventory of books that I have for sale. This App works so well and is invaluable to me. I love it.

It’s fab!

Great little app that makes things so simple.
Really intuitive to use and also run reports from.
Fantastic.

Inventory app

We are a medium sized prop mgmt comp. and needed to manage our maint. Dept. inventory. This app rocks! The developer rocks! Professional, intuitive, user friendly and very nice in appearance. I was able to import via .txt file so I didn’t have to hand key data in. So excited to have an iPad app that employees and management are connected to. Worth every penny. Period.
