Countbee
B2B · InventorySample listing, AI-estimated dataCountbee turns a phone into a stocktake scanner for small retail: scan barcodes, count stock, export a clean sheet for the accountant. Runs fully on the device: no accounts, no monthly fee.
Why this idea
The competition is built for warehouses.
Inventory tools start at €30–100/month with features a corner shop never touches. A one-job tool attacks from below.
Buyers search with exact words.
“inventur app kleines geschäft”: exact-match searches, and the German keyword pool is barely touched.
The smallest possible commitment.
€300 fixed price and no monthly fee: the smallest way to own a finished, focused tool.
