Stock Up Manager Book a Walkthrough

Home / How It Works

How It Works

One scan. Three things happen.

Stock Up Manager replaces clipboard counts with a scan-first workflow: set a quantity, scan a barcode with the camera already in your hand, and the deduction, the user attribution, and the spreadsheet update all happen in the same motion. It takes less time than it does to grab a pen.

1

Set the quantity

Leave it blank and it defaults to 1, so the line never stalls.

2

Scan the barcode

Built-in camera, or any USB or Bluetooth scanner you already own.

3

Deduct & sync

Updates instantly, and auto-saves to Google Sheets in about a second.

Scan with the camera you already have, or any barcode scanner. The tablet or phone's camera reads barcodes instantly, and any USB or Bluetooth scanner you already own works too.

Every deduction has a name on it. Staff sign in with their own PIN, so each scan is tracked by user.

Counts stay trustworthy. Quantity is never allowed to go negative.

Multiple barcodes per item. Comma-separated codes are recognized automatically as scanners send them.

Google Workspace Integration

Easily integrates and syncs with Google Sheets.

Stock Up Manager is a fully standalone app — it works completely on its own, storing everything locally on your device. But when you want visibility across your team, it syncs straight up to a Google Sheet with one tap. No new database to learn, no migration, and no separate login. The same tool your team already opens every day becomes your live inventory dashboard.

Nothing new to learn. Your team already knows Google Sheets — there's no separate dashboard or app to train anyone on.

Open it anywhere. Phone, laptop, or tablet — the same way you already share sheets today.

Barcode Management

Custom barcodes, built right in.

Stock Up Manager generates unique barcodes and SKU numbers for every item you add — automatically. Already have barcodes on your products? No problem. The app stores and recognises existing barcodes too, so there's no re-labelling required.

Auto-generated SKUs. Every new item gets its own unique barcode and SKU — no manual setup needed.

Print directly from the app. Generate and print barcode labels straight from Stock Up Manager — ready to stick on your shelves or products.

Scan from the app too. Use your device's camera to scan any barcode directly from within the app — no external scanner required.

Existing barcodes welcomed. Bring your own — the app stores and reads existing product barcodes without any changes to your labels.
