Built for shops that buy from suppliers.

Stock Radar reads the paper a shop already has — supplier invoices, till rolls, card statements — and turns it into costs, margins and tax. Here is exactly where that fits.

Trades it already serves

Nothing to configure beyond your own shelves. Shops whose goods arrive on an invoice and leave over a counter.

Convenience, corner shop

The founding trade — every screen was built against a real one.

Bodega

Same shape of business, different vocabulary and tax.

Grocery

Dry and packaged goods. See the note on fresh, below.

Beer, wine & spirits

Case in, bottle out — the unit maths this was written for.

Tobacconist & vape

Tobacco is a tax class of its own, and already handled.

Pharmacy front-shop

The retail half — the counter, not the prescriptions.

Where it works but stops short

Everything about buying, costing and margins works. Each of these has one specific thing it cannot yet tell you — named plainly, so nobody finds out after signing up.

Clothing & shoes

Buying, costs, suppliers and margins all work. But a style is one product, not a size run — it cannot tell you the mediums sold and the smalls didn’t.

Bakery, butcher, produce

Costs, margins and a waste log all work. There is no expiry date, no shelf-life countdown, no “sell these first”.

Bookshop

Fine on the buying side. Per-title sales are not tracked one by one.

Where it would be the wrong tool

Not a matter of settings. These businesses turn what they buy into something else, and that arithmetic is not written.

Restaurants, cafés, takeaway

You buy flour and sell a cake. A bought ingredient cannot be carried into a sold dish, so cost and revenue never meet.

Salons, barbers, repairs

The money is in labour and time. This measures goods.

Making or assembling

Parts in, product out is a different kind of book altogether.

Where it runs today

A shop is set up in its own place, with its own sales tax and rules — not translated into someone else’s. Five places are supported today; more as the product grows.

Quebec

GST & QST, the consigne, Loto-Québec.

California

State & local sales tax, CRV.

New York

State & local tax, the bottle bill.

Illinois

State & local tax rules.

United Kingdom

VAT at 20%, and shelf prices that include it. The VAT return itself is not finished yet.
