What it is
A small-business inventory app is a web-based database for tracking everything you buy and sell in one place — item name, quantity on hand, unit cost, supplier and reorder point — with low-stock alerts so you never miss a sale or tie up cash overbuying.
What your small business inventory management tracks
Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for small business.
Item name / SKU
What the thing is (with an optional code) so every product has one clear record.
Category
Groups items (supplies, resale, materials) for cleaner reports and quick filtering.
Quantity on hand
How many you currently have — the number you adjust as you buy and sell.
Reorder point
The low-stock threshold that triggers an alert so you restock in time.
Unit cost
What you pay per unit, used for total inventory value and margin.
Selling price
What you charge, so margin per item is visible at a glance.
Supplier / vendor
Who you buy it from, kept with the item so reordering is fast.
Inventory value
Quantity times unit cost, so you know how much cash is tied up in stock.
Notes / last updated
Free-text and a timestamp to track adjustments and one-off details.

Frequently asked questions
I only have a spreadsheet now — why move to an app?+
A shared web database gives every staff member the same live counts, low-stock alerts, and search instead of a file only one person can edit at a time. You still enter data yourself, but you get logins, roles, forms, and dashboards a spreadsheet cannot offer.
Will it warn me before I run out?+
Yes — set a reorder point per item and the app flags anything at or below it on a low-stock view, so you reorder before a stockout. It does not order for you; it tells you what is running low.
How do I know how much cash is tied up in stock?+
Each item's quantity times unit cost rolls up to a total inventory value on the dashboard, so you can see exactly how much money is sitting on the shelf and which categories hold the most. That is often the figure your bookkeeper needs.
Can more than one person use it at once?+
Yes — it is a web app with logins and roles, so an owner and staff can view and update the same inventory from any browser, and you control who can edit versus only view. There are no third-party integrations, so everything lives in the one app.
