Choose a simple tracker
Best when you need straightforward products, purchases, sales and low-stock alerts without a larger workflow.
Choose multi-location control
Best when stock needs to be received, sold, transferred and adjusted across more than one location.
Choose the platform first
Use desktop Excel or Access when the required Microsoft software is available, or Google Sheets when browser-based access is more important.
