What it is
A retail-store inventory app is a web-based database that tracks every SKU across your sales floor and backroom — recording quantity on hand, reorder points, unit cost and retail price so you always know what to restock before a shelf goes empty.
What your retail store inventory management tracks
Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for retail store.
SKU / item number
A unique code identifying each product so two similar items never get miscounted or mispriced.
Department / category
Groups items (apparel, electronics, grocery) so you can filter reports and see which categories actually move.
On-floor quantity
Units currently on the sales floor, kept separate from the backroom so associates know what is shoppable right now.
Backroom / stockroom quantity
Reserve units held in back, so your true total on hand is correct and you know when to move stock forward.
Reorder point
The threshold that triggers a low-stock alert, tuned to supplier lead time so you reorder before selling out.
Unit cost & retail price
Purchase cost versus shelf price; together they reveal margin per item and total inventory value.
Supplier / vendor
Who you buy the item from, so reorder details and lead-time expectations stay attached to each product.
Units sold / sell-through
How many sold in a period — the core signal for what to reorder heavily versus discontinue.
Last counted date
When the item was last physically counted, flagging stale counts that need a recount.
What good looks like for retail store

Frequently asked questions
How do I know when to reorder before a shelf goes empty?+
Set a reorder point per item based on how fast it sells and your supplier's lead time. The app flags anything at or below that level on a low-stock dashboard so you reorder in time. There is no supplier integration — the app tells you what to buy, you place the order.
Can I track backroom and sales-floor stock separately?+
Yes — each item has separate on-floor and backroom quantity fields, so the total on hand is accurate and staff know how much is shoppable versus in reserve. Moving stock forward is a quick edit to both numbers.
How does the app help me find slow-moving products?+
Filter and sort by units sold or sell-through over a period, and anything low becomes a markdown or discontinue candidate. Dashboards can rank items by turnover so overbought categories stand out at a glance.
Does it scan barcodes?+
No — this is a web database, so there is no barcode scanner. You look items up by typing or searching the SKU, name, or category, and counts are entered through a form. It runs in any browser with no special hardware.
