Simple stock on Android
Inventory App for Android: Simple Stock | Zawid Accounts
Zawid Accounts is an inventory app for Android that lets a small shop record items and their units, add quantities through stock movements in a specific warehouse, set a low-stock alert threshold, and check the app against a physical count. Stock sits next to your other accounts on the same phone, and core accounting works offline.
It is simple stock management alongside customer and supplier accounts, not a full warehouse management system or a point-of-sale system. For new users, the Free plan includes 100 active items and one warehouse.

What this inventory app for Android records
Quantities change only through a recorded movement, so every number can be traced: where it came from, when and why.
- Items with names and units, such as piece, case or pound.
- Stock movements with a date, warehouse and note.
- Warehouse records, so you know where stock is held.
- An alert threshold per item to flag low quantities for review.
- Adjustments after a count, with a note explaining the difference.
Simple stock management, step by step
Before adding items, set up your units and the warehouse that actually holds the goods in inventory setup. Then create the item with a clear name and the unit you count in. Saving item details adds no quantity by itself.
Next, record a Stock in movement: pick the item, enter a positive quantity in its unit, and check the warehouse and date. Before you approve, the app shows the quantity before and after, so you can confirm it makes sense. For example, receive 24 bottles of juice and the recorded quantity becomes 24.
Watch the opening stock: if you are moving from a notebook, count first and enter the current quantity once.
Alert thresholds: review before you reorder
Give each important item a threshold that matches how fast it sells. If the quantity is 3 and the threshold is 5, the item is below its threshold and worth a review. You can also ask Ask Zawid which items are running low; it checks the recorded quantities and thresholds.
An alert is a prompt to review, not an automatic purchase order. Open the item and its movements, make sure no delivery went unrecorded, then decide how much you really need. Overbuying ties up cash; running out loses sales.
Mobile inventory count
A count shows the gap between your records and the shelf. Pick a quiet time, pause movement on the items you are counting if you can, and compare each item with its quantity in the app.
- Count in the same unit recorded in the app.
- If you count 18 and the app shows 20, look for an unrecorded sale, transfer or return first.
- Record the missing movement, or record an adjustment with a note.
- Do not force the quantity to match without knowing why.
- Make a manual backup when the count is done.
Stock, suppliers and your accounts
When a supplier delivery arrives, record what you owe on the supplier's account, record the incoming quantity in inventory, and review both. Keeping them separate makes the supplier statement and the stock count easier to reconcile.
Because customers, suppliers, treasury accounts and stock live in one app, you can check the whole picture from your phone while each number stays in its proper place.
Free, Pro and inventory limits
For new users, Free includes 100 active items and one warehouse, with no numeric cap on transactions, and it may display ads. If you need more items or warehouses, Pro is an optional Google Play purchase, and the app shows the local price before you buy.
Zawid is not a POS, a large-scale warehouse system or a tax tool. It is clear, simple stock for a shop or small business that wants to know what is on hand.
