The shelf and the stockroom disagree
A count in a notebook goes stale after the next transfer or sale. When the same item sits in several places, a single total does not show where to look.
Software for small retail shop owners
Know your stock. Keep your shop moving.
A shelf, a stockroom and a supplier order all belong to the same business. Microtra brings your items, stock counts, purchasing and recorded sales together, with the everyday admin alongside them.
Unleash your potential.
The everyday details
You know the work.
The admin adds up.
Buying means chasing old information
Supplier contacts, price lists and orders can live in separate messages. Reordering is harder when you cannot find what you bought or who supplied it.
The payment is only part of the sale
A card terminal records money received, but you also need the item, quantity and stock movement. Bringing those records together takes attention at a busy counter.
How Microtra helps
Keep the business connected.
Use the tools that fit your day, with your records ready on your phone or on the web.
Count stock where it is kept
Track stock by location, enter physical counts and record transfers or wastage. Keep the shelf and backroom visible as separate locations rather than relying on a handwritten total.

Questions from small retail shop owners.
Can I keep separate stock counts for a shelf and a stockroom?
Yes. Microtra tracks stock by location, with physical counts, transfers and wastage. Set up the locations you use and record movements so the stock records reflect your shop.
Will reorder levels buy new stock automatically?
You review stock and create purchase orders yourself. Save reorder levels on your items and use supplier contacts and price lists to keep the buying details together.
Can Microtra charge a customer's card at the counter?
Card charging, Tap to Pay, QR payments and pay links are coming soon. Today you can record cash or payments taken elsewhere. Charge can record a sale with saved items, tax and the related stock movement after payment has been received.
Can I use estimates and invoices for a special order?
Yes. Create an estimate with items, quantities and prices, then create an invoice from it. Share the document as a PDF through your device. Server email and SMS delivery are coming soon.
