Import your stock list
Already keep a list in Excel or Google Sheets? Bring it in once, then count by voice from there. About five minutes.
Get the file ready
Save your list as a CSV with these columns. The first row must be the column names. Extra columns are ignored.

|---|---|---|
name | What you call it at the counter, like White bread | Yes |
count | How many you have now | Yes |
low_at | Warn me when it drops to this | No |
price | Selling price in rand, like 18.50 | No |
