What challenges did Outspoken Cycles face before using Stock&Buy?
Before Stock&Buy, our main challenge was the limited inventory management capabilities of Shopify. The inventory costing component was particularly restrictive, making it difficult to calculate profits accurately. We needed a solution that provided granular insight into profitability and allowed real-time stock tracking, especially for our growing business.
Have you tried similar software before Stock&Buy?
Yes, we have used other inventory management software like TradeGecko and Dear Inventory. However, Stock&Buy stood out due to its robust core functionality, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness compared to competitors.
Did you have any initial reservations about using Stock&Buy?
I’m always cautious about trying new software as it can be time-consuming. Additionally, Stock&Buy seemed narrow in scope initially, which raised some concerns. However, the intuitive interface and the prompt response from the support team helped alleviate these reservations.
How was your onboarding experience with Stock&Buy?
The onboarding process was smooth and intuitive. Stock&Buy’s simplicity and the 30-minute onboarding call made the transition hassle-free. The software was easy to configure, and any minor adjustments were quickly addressed.

Stock&Buy provided real-time insights into our stock position, enabling us to calculate profits instantly. It streamlined our purchase orders and eliminated procrastination in data analysis. The software became the bedrock of our inventory management, offering quick answers to our business-related queries.
Who do you think would benefit most from the platform, and would you recommend it?
I highly recommend Stock&Buy for small to medium-sized goods-based businesses that need in-depth business insights without complications. The platform is user-friendly and immensely beneficial for businesses seeking efficiency in inventory management.
