How does HandiFox help prevent stockouts and overstocking?

HandiFox uses automated reorder points and real-time stock visibility to keep your inventory in balance. The system shows you when quantities drop below optimal levels and makes it easy to generate purchase orders right away. By syncing data across multiple locations, it ensures you always have the right amount of stock where it’s needed most.

Can I track inventory across several warehouses or stores online?

Yes. HandiFox’s inventory management software brings all your locations together in one dashboard. You can check availability, monitor transfers, and track item movements from anywhere, without switching between systems. This centralized view helps business owners make faster, data-backed restocking and fulfillment decisions.

Does it integrate with QuickBooks?

It does. HandiFox connects directly to both QuickBooks Online and Desktop versions, keeping your inventory and accounting perfectly aligned. Changes to quantities, barcodes, vendors, or pricing automatically sync between systems, reducing manual data entry and the risk of human error.

Can HandiFox track serial and lot numbers?

Yes. HandiFox allows you to assign and trace serial and lot numbers for every product. This makes it easy to track each item’s movement, monitor expiration dates, and handle recalls if needed. You can view complete traceability from receiving to sale, ensuring accountability and compliance for regulated industries.

How does the software handle multiple units of measure?

With HandiFox, you can receive, count, and sell items in different units of measure, such as cases, boxes, or individual pieces. The system automatically converts quantities between units, eliminating calculation errors and simplifying data entry. This flexibility is especially useful for wholesalers, distributors, and manufacturers managing diverse product types.

Can I automate reordering with HandiFox?

Absolutely. You can set custom reorder points and see all items whose stock reaches minimum levels in one place. HandiFox also enables quick purchase order creation and supplier management, so replenishment happens before you run out of key items. This feature helps maintain consistent availability and supports proactive inventory control.

Why choose HandiFox for inventory tracking and stock control?

HandiFox combines flexibility, automation, and simplicity in one platform. Features like barcode scanning, cycle counts, and mobile access help small businesses cut time spent on manual tasks. HandiFox’s inventory stock software gives you the tools to stay efficient and in control.

What HandiFox customers say

Skyline Fire Solutions

(Ohio, USA)

“I have been on the hunt for an inventory software that has a 2-way sync with QuickBooks, with multiple inventory locations, and an overall view of inventory on hand between all sites … No double entry of parts or importing/exporting, you simply sync it to QuickBooks and BOOM everything is there.”

Shower Hardware Supply

Mike Palmer

(Ohio, USA)

“Overall, we use HandiFox now from all 3 separate locations and have found that our team at Shower Hardware Supply can now see which warehouse has or doesn't have something that is needed for our customers. Has proven to be a great tool for us and would be blind without it.”

HandiFox vs Sortly FAQs

1. Is HandiFox a good Sortly alternative?
