Real benefits, on day one
Sound familiar?
If any of these feel like your daily reality, you're not alone.
- ✕Multiple departments needing different supplies
- ✕Care staff who don't have time for complex ordering systems
- ✕Strict budgets that require cost tracking
- ✕Compliance requirements for audit trails
The way you restock today vs the way it should be
If any of this looks familiar, you're not alone. It's how almost every independent business runs — until they find a better way.
Today
- ✕Staff jot notes on paper that get lost or smudged beyond reading
- ✕Messages pinging in your WhatsApp: "we're out of milk", "bring beans", "and bread"
- ✕Some staff forget to write things down at all — you only find out when the shelf is empty
- ✕The owner guesses quantities at the cash & carry — over-buying slow lines, missing fast ones
- ✕Nobody can do the supplier run except the owner — there's no shared, trusted list
- ✕Stock knowledge lives in the owner's head. One day off and everything falls apart

Your tools & suppliers
Works with every care home supplier
Stock Runner is supplier-agnostic. Group your list by whichever wholesalers you already buy from — no new systems to learn.
Plus hundreds more — use a different supplier? Add yours in seconds.
Run your business without running yourself ragged
The biggest win isn't just smarter restocking — it's peace of mind.
Real-time visibility into every shelf
Know exactly which items are low or out of stock from your phone — without setting foot in the shop. Every scan, tap or photo from your shop updates the live list instantly.
Stop chasing your staff for answers
No more phone calls asking "are we low on milk?" or "did anyone check the crisps?" Your staff flag what's needed as they work, and you just see it appear.
Stress-free, sleep better
No more waking up at 2am wondering if you forgot the bread order. Stock Runner remembers everything, flags anything urgent, and lets you switch off at the end of the day.
Delegate the supplier run — confidently
The list is final and complete. Any staff member can take it to the cash & carry and come back with exactly what you need. Run your business from home while someone else handles the run.
