Why small businesses need inventory software
Without a proper catalogue, you retype product details on every invoice, quote different prices on different jobs, and run out of stock at the worst possible moment.
Inventory software for small businesses puts one product catalogue behind your invoices, quotes, and deliveries.
Track products and stock as they move
Build the catalogue, set prices, and watch stock counts as jobs and deliveries draw them down.
Product catalogue
Build the catalogue with names, descriptions, prices, and SKUs. Ready to drop onto any invoice.
Stock level tracking
Stock counts update as products move, so you know what's on the shelf before a customer asks.
Pricing management
Set prices, tax rates, and units of measure once. Every invoice uses the same numbers.
Inventory reporting
Stock movement, low-stock alerts, and usage reports for sharper purchasing.
Inventory wired to deliveries and jobs
Add products to a delivery or job and the catalogue does the maths. Stock counts move when goods leave the warehouse, so the number on screen matches the shelf.
- Assign inventory items to delivery jobs
- Stock counts adjust the moment a job dispatches
- Track which products went on which delivery
- Fewer stock discrepancies across the team
- Inventory usage per job, per week, per customer

Inventory, answered
The questions small businesses ask us most often.
- What does inventory software do for a small business?
- It keeps one live count of what you hold, so you stop overselling stock you do not have and stop turning up to a job short. Because the catalogue also feeds your invoices, product details, prices and tax rates are entered once and reused everywhere after that.
- Can I track van stock as well as warehouse stock?
- Stock counts update as products move onto jobs and deliveries, so what has left the shelf is reflected without a manual count. Low-stock alerts tell you what to reorder before a job is booked in against stock you do not have.
- Does inventory connect to invoices?
- Yes, and that is the main reason to run both in one system. You pick a product from the catalogue and the description, price, unit and tax rate populate the invoice line. Nothing is retyped, so the price a customer is charged matches the price you set.
- How much does inventory software cost?
- Inventory is included on every plan, alongside deliveries — plans differ by seat count only. Solo covers one seat, Team Short six, and Team Long sixteen, with Enterprise priced around your team. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial and no card is required. Current rates are on the pricing page.
- Do I need separate accounting software as well?
- Love Invoicing handles quoting, jobs, stock and invoicing with UK VAT and CIS. Many businesses still keep an accountant or accounting package for year-end filing, and export what they need — the two sit alongside each other rather than replacing one another.
