Why Small Shops Lose Inventory (And How to Stop It)

Here’s the truth nobody says out loud:

Most small shops and solo operators don’t lose inventory because they’re “unorganized”…they lose it because the way they track inventory sucks.

• notebooks

• spreadsheets

• random app notes

• memory (lol)

• text threads to yourself

This is how 90% of people do it. So of course stuff gets missed.

You buy supplies, use supplies, move supplies, stash supplies in different spots…but your “system” doesn’t update itself.

That’s where the losses happen.

The Fix: Make Updating Inventory Frictionless

If updating stock takes effort — you won’t do it.Period.

And that’s why SKUWD is mobile-first.

You just:

1. tag the item

2. scan it

3. update in seconds

Boom — real-time accuracy without thinking.

The Real Win

When inventory is tracked at the moment of use (on your phone / right where you are) everything changes:

• no more double-buying stuff you already have

• no more discovering you’re out of a part mid-job

• no more half-finished projects because you missed material

Small business doesn’t fail from bad marketing —it fails from bad inventory control.

Fix your tracking → you fix your chaos.

That’s why SKUWD exists.

Inventory that works like you do..
