Help me build the inventory tool small businesses actually need

I'm Isobel, I run an independent skincare brand called Isobel Perl and couldn't find an inventory management tool that actually works for my business.

So, like any founder does, I built my own - because nothing on the market worked for me.

I'm now exploring whether other product-based business owners have the same problem.

The survey takes less than 3 minutes, is mostly check-boxes, and is completely anonymous unless you want to share your details at the end, where you can try out the demo inventory tracker I built with the help of Claude AI.

What type of products do you sell?

If other, please specify

How long have you been running your business?

Where do you sell?

How do you currently manage inventory?

How much do you pay per month?

What do you use?

What's your biggest frustration with how you manage inventory today?

Do you ever run out of stock unexpectedly?

Do you know your true cost per unit (including packaging, shipping, FX) off the top of your head?

Which of these do you struggle with? Select all that apply.

Which of these do you struggle with? Select all that apply.

Do you source products or packaging from overseas?

Do you track the impact of exchange rates on your costs?

Do you use a fulfilment centre / 3PL or fulfil orders yourself?

Would you pay for a tool that automated all of this?

What would make you switch from what you currently use?
