Your tools & suppliers
Works with every wholesaler you already use
ShopRunner is supplier-agnostic. Group your buying list by whichever wholesalers and symbol groups you already buy from - no new systems to learn.
Plus hundreds more - use a different supplier? Add yours in seconds.
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
With ShopRunner
- ✓One live list, shared across every phone in the shop - paper and lost notes gone
- ✓Staff scan, tap or photograph what's low as they work. No typing, no WhatsApp chaos
- ✓Real-time visibility: you see what's needed from home, on the school run, anywhere
- ✓Buying list is sorted by supplier and final - the owner doesn't need to guess any more
- ✓Any staff member can take the list to the cash & carry and come back with everything
- ✓Full audit trail. Nothing is forgotten, nothing falls through the cracks
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. ShopRunner 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.
Everything your business needs
One app for the whole shop - from the counter to the supplier run.
Scan, tap, speak, or photograph
Barcode scan for retail. Quick-tap panel for cafés. Voice for chefs. Photos for hardware and auto shops.
Built for your supplier run
Lists sorted by store and aisle - so your buying run takes 1 hour, not 3. Works with any wholesaler worldwide.
Real-time across all devices
Staff scans on Android. Owner sees it instantly on iPhone. Buyer ticks it off at the wholesaler.
Works offline
No signal in the stockroom? No Wi-Fi at the warehouse? ShopRunner syncs when you reconnect.
Smart buying patterns
After a few weeks ShopRunner knows what you reorder regularly. Get pre-filled lists before you even think about it.
Audit trail & history
See who added what, when, on which device. Restore any item from the last 7 days.

💛 To the ones running the show
You're the first one in.
You're the last one out.
You remember everything because you have to. The milk is nearly out, the weekend order isn't placed, and your staff keeps adding things to WhatsApp that you'll read later. Maybe.
We built ShopRunner so you can finally hand some of it back. No more paper lists. No more WhatsApp chaos. No more 2am worry. Just one live list your whole shop can trust - and a buying run that doesn't need you in the driver's seat.
