Stock that knows when to reorder itself.

MapleInventory is a Canadian-hosted stock and warehouse management app for retailers, e-commerce sellers, and trades businesses. It tracks SKUs in real time across multiple locations, fires low-stock alerts before you run out, scans barcodes on a phone, automates supplier reorders, and deducts stock the moment a MapleInvoice goes out or a MapleBuy storefront takes an order.

Cin7 is enterprise-priced (US$349+/mo) and built for global 3PL fulfilment; Lightspeed Retail ties inventory to its own POS hardware and charges per register; Zoho Inventory is solid but US-centric and has weak GST/HST/QST handling for Canadian operators. MapleInventory is Canadian-hosted in Toronto, calculates HST on COGS per province, ties into MapleBuy and MapleInvoice with zero glue code, and starts at $0 CAD for up to 50 SKUs.

Yes. Each warehouse, retail counter, service van, or pop-up location is its own stock pool. You can transfer between locations with a full audit trail, run physical counts per location, and set per-location reorder points (e.g. keep more bottles in the Halifax warehouse than the Calgary one). There is no cap on locations on Business or Enterprise plans.

Yes. The MapleInventory mobile app (iOS and Android) uses the phone camera to scan UPC, EAN-13, EAN-8, Code128, Code39, and QR codes. You can scan to receive a PO, scan to fulfil an order, scan to do a physical count, or scan to look up a product. Bluetooth scanners (Zebra, Honeywell, Socket Mobile) are supported on tablets and laptops too.

MapleInventory is the single stock source of truth for the whole suite. When a MapleBuy storefront order is paid, stock decrements automatically. When a MapleInvoice goes out with line items linked to SKUs, stock decrements again. Refunds, credit notes, and order cancellations restore stock. No webhooks, no zaps, no manual CSV exports -- one Canadian-hosted database shared across MapleBuy + MapleInvoice + MapleInventory.

Each SKU has a reorder point and a preferred supplier. When on-hand drops below the reorder point, the supplier reorder agent generates a purchase order, emails or POSTs it to the supplier via their API or EDI endpoint, and tracks the PO through receiving. You can set the agent to auto-send or to require one-click approval. Last week the agent auto-reordered 3 items across the MapleWorkSuite reference tenant with zero human intervention.

Yes. Every stock movement captures the landed cost including GST/HST/QST/PST split by province, so when items are sold or written off the COGS journal entry is HST-accurate. The CRA Input Tax Credit (ITC) report aggregates recoverable tax on inventory purchases by quarter, which your bookkeeper can drop straight into your GST/HST return. Provincial breakdowns cover all 13 provinces and territories.

Yes -- all pricing is in Canadian dollars, billed via Stripe in CAD with no FX surprises. The Free plan covers up to 50 SKUs and one location forever. Pro is $19 CAD/month for up to 500 SKUs, Business is $49 CAD/month for up to 5,000 SKUs and multi-location, and Enterprise is $149 CAD/month for unlimited SKUs, dedicated CSM, and PIPEDA audit log retention.

Zoho Inventory is a capable SKU manager, but it is US-centric: GST/HST/QST splits are bolt-on, pricing is in USD, and data lives in Zoho regions outside Canada. MapleInventory is hosted in Toronto, computes HST on COGS per province natively, prices in CAD (bash free / 9 Pro / 9 Business), and ships with no-glue-code sync into MapleBuy storefronts and MapleInvoice. If you are a Canadian operator filing ITCs and using Maple billing, MapleInventory removes the spreadsheet between Zoho exports and your accountant.

Square for Retail is a POS-first product: inventory is a feature attached to the Square hardware and payment processor, with monthly fees per register plus 2.65% card-not-present and 2.7% in-person rates. MapleInventory is inventory-first and POS-agnostic. You keep the payment processor you already use, you can run zero, one, or twenty locations on a single plan, and stock auto-decrements from MapleBuy or MapleInvoice without paying Square per-tap. If you want the Square POS aesthetic without lock-in to Square hardware, MapleInventory plus a MapleBuy storefront is the swap.

Yes. MapleInventory is hosted in Canadian data centres (Toronto + Montreal failover), all SKU records, supplier contacts, and PO history stay inside Canadian borders, and Enterprise tier includes a 7-year tamper-evident audit log of every stock movement. We never replicate inventory data outside Canada. The Privacy Office contact for access requests is [email protected].

Yes, and you do not need to ask permission. Every plan including Free has a one-click CSV export of the full SKU catalog, stock-on-hand by location, supplier list, PO history, and 24 months of stock movements. Pro and above add a JSON export and a one-shot S3 dump. We do not gate exports behind a retention window, an account-closure form, or a sales call. If our product stops being the right fit, the door is propped open. (We would rather you stay because the integrations are good, not because the data is hostage.)
