Definition

What exactly is simple inventory management software?

Simple inventory management software is a tool that tracks your products, quantities and movements — without forcing production management, cost accounting or the forty modules of an ERP on you. With Backhurry, you build that tracking yourself in minutes: a Products entity, quantity fields, alert thresholds and automations that warn the right person before you run out.

The difference from classic inventory software: this is custom-built. Materials sold by the cut, expiry dates, serial numbers, sizes and colors — you add exactly the fields your business needs, from over 50 available types. Tradespeople, micro-businesses, online sellers: the tool molds itself to the way you work, not the other way around.

And inventory is only the beginning: the same building blocks can manage clients, projects or documents in a single tool. Discover Backhurry custom management software.

Custom-built

What you build to track your inventory

You assemble your inventory tracking from simple building blocks: a catalog, quantities, alerts, movements. Each block takes a few minutes to set up, without code, and you change it as your business changes. Here's what micro-businesses, tradespeople and online sellers build most often.

Custom product catalog

SKU, supplier, purchase price, location, photo, expiry date… choose your fields from over 50 types and organize your catalog the way you think about your trade.

Alert thresholds and low stock

Set a critical threshold for each item. When the quantity drops below it, an automation sends an email: you reorder before running out, without watching the table.

Tracked stock in and out

Record every movement: supplier delivery, sale, breakage, return. Quantities are calculated with visual node-based formulas — no fragile macros to maintain.

Linked suppliers

Link each product to its supplier: contact details, lead times, terms. An up-to-date record in the same place as your stock, to reorder from the right contact in two clicks.

Multi-location if needed

Workshop, shop, van, warehouse: add a Locations entity and track quantities per location. If you only have one, you simply don't create that block.

Filtered views for every use

A "low stock" view, a view per supplier, a view per location: everyone finds the list that matches their job, without touching anyone else's data.

Barcodes and SKUs

Store your internal references, EANs or barcodes in dedicated fields and find any product instantly by search or filter.

The right tool

Why not Excel? Why not an ERP?

Because both fail for the same reason: they're not your size. Excel is too fragile once inventory becomes critical to your business, and an ERP is too heavy when all you need is inventory tracking. Backhurry sits between the two: the simplicity of a spreadsheet, the power of a real application — for €9/month per user.

Excel's limits for inventory

  • One formula overwritten by mistake and your quantities are wrong — often without anyone noticing until you run out.
  • No alerts: Excel doesn't warn you when an item drops below its threshold — you find out when you're about to sell.
  • Multi-user quickly turns into chaos: competing versions, overwritten cells, no access rights and no change history.

ERP overkill for a micro-business

  • A high cost: licenses, configuration, often several thousand euros of integration before first use.
  • Weeks of setup and training, when your need fits into three well-designed screens.
  • Dozens of modules (production, cost accounting, payroll…) — you'll never use half of them, but you pay for them.

With Backhurry, you build only the tracking you need, change it yourself as your business evolves, and the price stays fixed: €9/month per user, all-inclusive, with no add-on modules and no commitment. See the full details of Backhurry's €9/month pricing.

Integrations

Connected to your site and the rest of your business

Your inventory doesn't live in a vacuum. Every entity created in Backhurry automatically exposes a complete REST API (read, write, filters, pagination): your e-commerce site can display availability or decrement a quantity with each order, without a single line of backend code written on your side.

Does your site run on WordPress? The Backhurry plugin displays your data via a simple shortcode, compatible with Gutenberg and Elementor. And to share a list of items with a supplier or partner, a secure read-only magic link is all it takes: the recipient views the data without creating an account.

Do you manage equipment for a club or nonprofit? Inventory tracking pairs very well with member management: discover Backhurry nonprofit management software.

Setup

Your inventory tracking ready in 3 steps

Count on a few minutes, not a few weeks: you start from your existing inventory in CSV or Excel format, set your alert thresholds, then invite the team. No installation, no consultant, no technical configuration.

1

Import your inventory

Drop in your CSV or Excel file: data types are detected (text, number, date) and fields created automatically. Your existing inventory becomes a structured database, with no retyping.

2

Add thresholds and automations

Set the critical threshold for each item and create the "low stock → email" rule. Or describe your business to the AI assistant, which generates the complete structure for you.

3

Invite the team with the right access

The workshop records outgoing stock, the office handles supplier orders: everyone sees only what concerns them, thanks to permissions by role, by entity and by field.

Frequently asked questions about inventory management

Answers to the questions micro-businesses, tradespeople and online sellers ask before building their inventory tracking.

Yes, it's one of the most common uses. You add an "alert threshold" field to your products, then create an automation: as soon as the quantity drops below the threshold, an email goes out to the person of your choice. You can also create a filtered "low stock" view to see every item that needs reordering at a glance.

Yes, in just a few clicks. Import your CSV or XLSX file: data types are detected, missing fields created and your columns mapped automatically. So you start with your actual inventory, not an empty database, and you can rearrange the fields with a few clicks afterwards if needed.

Yes. Backhurry is multi-user and permissions are granular: by role, by entity and even by field. You can let the field team record outgoing stock without seeing purchase prices, or give a seasonal worker access limited to a single location. Each user costs €9/month, all-inclusive.

Yes, in two ways. Every entity exposes an auto-generated REST API (read, write, filters, pagination) that your developers can plug into any site or application. And if your site runs on WordPress, the official plugin displays your data via a simple shortcode, compatible with Gutenberg and Elementor.

€9 per month per user, all-inclusive: automations, REST API, permissions, CSV/XLSX import, AI assistant. No extra-billed "inventory" module, no tiers, no commitment. The trial lasts 7 days, free and with no credit card, and your data remains freely exportable in JSON if you decide to leave.
