If the count lives in a spreadsheet, the count is wrong.
We build custom inventory management software for small businesses that outgrew the sheet — and refuse to rent a SaaS that meters every order. Barcode scanning on the phones you already own, POs that draft themselves, your store and QuickBooks in sync, every location counted.
Open the sheet everyone's afraid of.
A negative count. A formula nobody dares touch. A date from March. An oracle named Dave. Research puts errors in 88% of spreadsheets — yours isn't the exception, it's just unaudited.
Inventory SaaS meters the thing you're trying to grow.
Zoho caps the $29 plan at 500 orders a month. inFlow bills 20¢ per order past your tier. Cin7 counts them per year, Katana meters each delivery, Sortly locks purchase orders behind a higher plan. Sooner or later, this appears:
You've used 500 of 500 orders this month.
Upgrade now to keep selling, or new orders will queue until the 1st.

Built in. Not gated behind a tier.
The phone in everyone's pocket is the scanner — receive, pick, count by camera. Bluetooth guns plug in if you own them.
Reorder points per SKU, per season. Stock runs low, the purchase order writes itself.
Shopify, WooCommerce, or the PrestaShop store we built you — two-way, counter POS included. No per-connector fee.
Warehouses, shelves, vans, job sites — transfers leave a paper trail instead of a mystery.
Cycle counts by aisle on a schedule, variances flagged and explained — year-end stops being an archaeology dig.
Margin by SKU, dead stock, reorder curves — QuickBooks synced, so the accountant and the shelf agree.
Half the businesses searching for inventory software also need the sales side. Fine: pipeline, quotes, and stock in one system, one database — no sync fees between two rented tools.
What owners ask first.
What does custom inventory management software cost?
Single-warehouse systems typically land $9,000–$22,000, fixed — the agencies ranking beside us publish $50,000–$400,000 ranges for the same intent. Multi-warehouse and manufacturing builds run $25,000+. Your exact number arrives in writing within 24 hours.
Everything lives in Excel today. Is that a problem?
It's the normal starting point. Your sheet imports free — columns become fields, history keeps its dates, and the sheet stays alive in parallel until the counts agree. Honestly: if you're 200 SKUs on one shelf, a free app is fine. The flip comes when orders arrive from three places and nobody can say what's on the truck.
How long until we're scanning?
Six to ten weeks for a single-warehouse system. Stock, scanning, and orders ship first; reports and integrations bolt on while your team is already counting with it.
Do we need barcode hardware?
No — the camera on any phone scans barcodes and QR labels, and we generate the labels. If you already own Bluetooth or USB scanners, they plug straight in.
Will it sync with Shopify and QuickBooks?
Two-way with both — sales pull stock down, receipts push it up, and invoices land in QuickBooks without retyping. Connectors are part of the build, not a monthly line item.
Who owns it — and what if we leave?
You do: repo, database, and hosting sit in your accounts from the first commit, and every record exports whenever you want. Any developer can maintain it after us. That's the difference between owning the count and renting it.
