Count stock by barcode and see expected-versus-actual variance instantly. StockLite is a focused inventory tracker and stock counter for small retailers, resellers, and stockrooms. Scan items in or out, run a stocktake, and find mismatches without an account or server. Your inventory stays on your device. SCAN, COUNT, SPOT THE GAP • Choose receiving or removal before you scan. • See expected quantity, actual quantity, and variance together. • Undo the latest scanner change for four seconds. • Use the torch on supported devices; enable sound and haptics separately. • Scan a barcode to find an item in your list. FIND THE RIGHT ITEM FAST • Sort by recent scan, custom order, name, barcode, quantity, or reorder priority. • Filter by shelf location, variance, or unchecked items during a stocktake. • Add items without barcodes using a SKU. • Track condition, purchase cost, sell price, shelf location, and notes. STOCKTAKE & CSV • Add or update many items at once from a CSV file, including category, supplier, shelf location, cost, and sell price. Existing quantities are never changed. • Import an expected-stock CSV before counting. • Check unchecked, checked, and mismatched items as you go. • Export your full inventory or stocktake results as CSV for spreadsheet review. • Try one CSV export on the free plan. BACKUP & RESTORE • Export your inventory to a backup file and restore it later. • Backs up automatically once a day while you use the app, keeping the latest seven on your device. WIDGETS & SHORTCUTS • See mismatch and reorder counts in Home Screen widgets. • The Lock Screen widget shows the mismatch count and opens the scanner. • Open the receiving scan, removal scan, or stocktake screen from Shortcuts. • Open the receiving scan from Control Center (iOS 18 or later). SUPPLIERS & INSIGHTS • Assign a main supplier and search by supplier name. • Review product count, stock quantity, value, and variance by supplier. • See the estimated margin from sell price and cost. The total gross profit amount is part of Premium. • Set reorder points and receive a local reminder up to once a day.
