How the tools work
- Your answer is free and instant. Every tool shows your result straight away. You never have to sign up to see it.
- The working is shown. Each calculator shows the formula and the sums behind your answer, so you can check it or explain it to your team.
- A fuller report if you want one. Some tools offer a printable report or plan. To get it, you fill in a short form, and that's the only time we ask for your details.
- Your stock list stays with you. If you paste a product list into the ABC analysis tool, it is worked out in your browser. We never see it.

Frequently asked questions
Are the tools really free?
For most warehouses: picking accuracy, inventory accuracy, dock to stock time, order cycle time, on-time dispatch and cost per order. Add accidents and near misses, because safety belongs on the same report as productivity.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There are no accounts and no passwords. Open a tool and start.
Is my data safe?
Your numbers are worked out in your browser. If you paste a product list into the ABC analysis tool, it never leaves your computer. We only see the details you choose to give us in the short report form.
Can I use the results in Excel?
Yes. Download our free stock control template for Excel, and the ABC analysis tool can give you your full A, B and C list as a spreadsheet file.
Which tool should I use first?
If you're not sure, start with the Warehouse KPI Scorecard. It takes three minutes and shows which areas of your warehouse need attention, then points you to the right calculator.
