What is retail inventory management software?

Retail inventory management software keeps an accurate record of every product line a shop or e-commerce business holds, where each unit is, what it cost and what it is worth, and updates that record as stock is received, moved, sold or written off.

Can AxioLite handle size and colour variants?

Yes. Each variant is its own catalogue line with its own barcode, cost and stock, grouped under a shared manufacturer and part number so it is still easy to find.

How much does it cost for a small retailer?

AxioLite starts at £39 per month excluding VAT for 500 Material Master lines, with a 14-day free trial and no card required.

Retail inventory management software for growing shops and online sellers

AxioLite is retail inventory management software for UK SMBs. It keeps one accurate record per product line - variants, barcodes, cost and selling price in £ - tracks where every unit sits across shop floor and stockroom, and logs every movement so your stock figure matches the shelf.

Built around how retail stock actually moves

Variants without duplicate chaos

Each size, colour or pack size gets its own Material Master line under a shared manufacturer and part number, so the catalogue stays searchable instead of sprawling.

Retail barcodes that already work

Store the supplier's barcode against the line or print your own labels, then scan with a phone camera or handheld scanner to look up, book in, or count stock.

Shop floor and stockroom in one view

Track quantities by location - shop floor, stockroom, off-site storage - so you know whether a line is genuinely out of stock or just in the wrong place.

Cost against margin in £

Unit cost, selling price and stock valuation are held in pounds, with valuation and dead-stock reports that show where cash is tied up.

Counting that fits trading hours

ABC/XYZ classification targets cycle counts at fast-moving, high-value lines, so you count little and often instead of closing for a full stocktake.

Returns and damaged stock

Quality statuses keep returned, quarantined or damaged goods out of sellable stock until someone reviews them, with a full record of who changed what.
