AxioLite by Axiometra
When your stock spreadsheet stops keeping up
Spreadsheets are a fine way to start, but they struggle once several people book stock in and out, batches have expiry dates, or you need to know which shelf something is on. AxioLite does the same job properly and lets you import the spreadsheet you already have.
Spreadsheet vs AxioLite
| Spreadsheet | AxioLite | |
|---|---|---|
| Several people updating at once | Copies and overwrites | One live record for everyone |
| Where things are | A column you have to keep updated | Site, aisle, shelf and bin, updated as stock moves |
| Batches and expiry dates | Manual, easy to miss | Recorded per batch, with an "expiring soon" filter |
| Who changed what | Hard to tell | Every movement and edit recorded with the person and time |
| Low stock | You have to look | Low stock report against your minimum levels |
| Scanning | Not built in | Barcode and QR labels, scanned with a phone |
| Purchase orders | A separate document | Raised, emailed and booked in against the order (paid plans) |
| Product codes | Whatever you type | UNSPSC code suggested for every product |
| Cost | Free | Free for up to 50 products; paid plans from £39 a month |
Moving over takes an afternoon, not a project
Export your sheet as CSV and import your products, suppliers and storage locations. Rows are checked one by one, so a bad row doesn't stop the import, and you can tidy everything up afterwards in the grid. There's no setup fee.
Common questions
- Can I keep using Excel alongside AxioLite?
- Yes. Every report exports to CSV, so you can still open your figures in Excel or Google Sheets.
- How long does it take to move from a spreadsheet?
- Most of the work is getting your columns in order. The import itself takes minutes, and you can try it on the demo first.
- Is it worth it for a small business?
- If several people handle stock, or you track batches, expiry dates or bins, a spreadsheet will keep drifting from what's on the shelf. AxioLite is free for up to 50 products, and paid plans start at £39 a month.
