Real-time

Stock levels & low-stock alerts

Seconds

To record a sale

Anywhere

Owner visibility, any device

  1. Challenge

    Small shops track stock in notebooks or spreadsheets, so they run out of best-sellers and can't see what's actually making money.

  2. Approach

    We replaced the notebook with the fastest possible data-entry screen for staff, then gave the owner a live dashboard they can trust from anywhere — phone or laptop.

  3. Result

    A simple dashboard where staff record sales and stock in seconds, while the owner sees live stock levels, alerts and profit reports from anywhere.

What we built

  • Fast point-of-sale entry screen for staff
  • Live stock levels with automatic low-stock alerts
  • Daily and monthly sales & profit reports
  • Role-based access — owners see everything, cashiers see only what they need

The idea. A growing shop can’t be run from a notebook. StockPilot demonstrates how a small business can get the kind of visibility big retailers have — without expensive enterprise software.

What we built (as a demo).

  • A fast point-of-sale entry screen for staff
  • Live stock levels with automatic low-stock alerts
  • Daily and monthly sales and profit reports
  • Role-based access: owners see everything, cashiers see only what they need

Why it matters. The owner finally knows what’s selling, what’s running low, and how much money the business is really making — in real time, from any phone or computer.

This is a sample build created by Cranix to demonstrate our approach. We can tailor a system like this to exactly how your business runs.
