A Simple Tool to Solve Real Problems for Shop Owners

Running a small shop today is more stressful than ever.
Inventory moves fast, billing takes time, and sales data often lives in notebooks or scattered spreadsheets. Most shop owners don’t have the time—or the tools—to monitor what’s really happening in their business.

I saw this problem firsthand.

Every shop owner I met said the same thing:

“I wish there was one simple place to see my stock, sales, and profits.”

So I built Stoqyy — a lightweight, easy-to-use management app for small and midsize shops.
No complexity. No training required. No expensive setup.
Just open, use, and manage your business.


💡 What Problem Does Stoqyy Solve?

Most small shop owners struggle with:

  • Stock confusion — not knowing what’s available, low, or about to run out
  • Manual billing errors — handwritten bills and miscalculations
  • Lack of insights — no idea which products make the most profit
  • Time-consuming day-end tasks — counting everything manually
  • Zero clarity — decisions made purely on guessing

Stoqyy solves these issues with simple, clear tools designed for real everyday business needs.


⚙️ What Stoqyy Does

📦 Real-Time Inventory Tracking

Automatically track stock, get low-stock alerts, and avoid over-buying or lost sales.

💰 Smart Sales & Profit Insights

Daily and monthly reports show exactly what’s happening in the business—no guesswork.

🧾 Clean, Fast Billing

Quick billing that reduces errors and saves time.

📊 One Dashboard for Everything

A clean, simple interface that shows the entire business at a glance.

📱 Mobile-Friendly

Works smoothly on any device—because most shop owners run their business from their phone.


🎯 Who Is Stoqyy For?

Stoqyy is built for:

  • Kirana stores
  • Boutiques & clothing shops
  • Electronics stores
  • Cosmetic shops
  • General stores
  • Small cafés
  • Any shop that needs clarity without complexity

If the business involves stock + sales, Stoqyy helps.


🛠️ The Development Approach

I focused on three core principles:

  1. Simplicity – The user should understand everything within 10 seconds.
  2. Speed – Fast UI, minimal load times.
  3. Stability – No crashes, no confusion, no clutter.

Every feature had to pass one question:
“Does this make the shop owner’s day easier?”

Most developers overbuild dashboards.
I went the opposite direction:
Clean, focused, intentional.


🚀 What’s Next

I’m working on:

  • GST-ready invoicing
  • Barcode scanning
  • Multi-user roles
  • AI-based restock suggestions
  • Offline mode
  • Supplier management

The goal remains the same:
Empower small shops with smart tools.
