Inventory that keeps up with your shop.

Lifecycle

Items move through Bought → Received → Sold → Shipped → Delivered. Tell Inventory Now when you buy and when you sell, and the counts stay right. Received, shipped and delivered are optional, so use as much of the lifecycle as your business needs.

Add a category, location, date, cost and price, plus notes and custom fields named the way you talk about them. Lend gear out and take it back? Switch to a check-out / check-in lifecycle in Settings.

Hardware

Pair a Bluetooth barcode scanner with your phone and every pull of the trigger is a scan: known items open with Buy and Sell one tap away, new ones are created with their details looked up, and stocktakes count as you walk the shelf.

Print the barcodes and SKUs Inventory Now generates on a pocket label printer, one at a time or the whole inventory in one job.

• Tera HW0002 scanner — about $42, pairs over Bluetooth with two scanned QR codes. The guide has the codes.
• SUPVAN T50M Pro printer — about $28, prints from Photos through the free Katasymbol app.

Point of sale

Add items to the cart, apply tax, fees and discounts, and check out. Take the payment with Square Point of Sale or Tap to Pay, record it by hand, or save the order and settle up later. Every checkout becomes an order with a receipt.

Turn on Register Mode and any device becomes a quick, cost-free counter for staff.

Refunds

Refund an order in full or one line at a time. Say whether the goods came back to the shelf, add an extra amount for shipping or goodwill, and note the reason. The original sale stays as it was; the refund sits beside it, so your reports show gross and net and last month's revenue never quietly changes.

Refunds from Shopify and eBay arrive on their own. Every refund posts to QuickBooks as a refund receipt.

Stock velocity

Inventory Now watches every item's sales rate and turns your stock into days of cover. Set a low-stock threshold in units or in days, and get a push notification before you run out.

Open any item for its sales rate, units sold, and stock over time at 7, 30 and 90 days.

Integrations

Sell in the shop or online and both stay right. Two-way Shopify sync, eBay order and listing import, Etsy orders and stock counts, QuickBooks receipts, Square payments, Dropbox backups and a documented REST API.

• Shopify — two-way sync of products, counts and orders. Push your catalog to Shopify in one tap.
• eBay — orders and listings import on their own, refunds included.
• Etsy — orders and fees import, listing quantities follow your stock, and new items push to Etsy as drafts.
• QuickBooks Online — every sale, refund and expense posts as a receipt, ready for your accountant.

Import, export & backups

Import items from a simple CSV template, edit on a computer and import again. Export a clean PDF, your order history, an inventory summary, item images and barcode sheets, all with filters.

Automatic Dropbox backups keep a copy safe without you thinking about it.
