The Problem

Why Retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, and ecommerce operators managing stock Are Frustrated

Building a Inventory Management System the old way means months of pain, agency fees, and tools you don't own. Here's what Retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, and ecommerce operators managing stock deal with every day.

QuickBooks inventory is basic and doesn't handle complex warehouse operations

Fishbowl costs $5,000–$15,000 upfront plus annual maintenance

TradeGecko/Cin7 charge $349–$999/month for multi-location inventory

No generic IMS handles the exact product variants, kits, and BOM your business uses

Integration with your ecommerce, accounting, and 3PL is always fragile

⚠️

The biggest fear:

Stock-outs losing sales, or overstock tying up cash — both are business-killers

  • 6–12 months to launch a working MVP
  • Ongoing SaaS subscription fees ($200–$2,000/mo)
  • Vendor lock-in: you never own your code or data
  • Feature requests cost extra. Every. Single. Time.
  • Platform shuts down? Your business disappears overnight.
