Clear, local records
Shop owners can record products, purchases, sales, stock movement and profit from an Android phone. The app is designed to be useful before a business has a complicated system.
Stok · public direction
From knowing stock to protecting the value in it.
Stok begins as practical inventory, purchases, sales and profit records for small businesses. Its longer horizon is not “more dashboards” for their own sake: it is helping people act on perishable stock before good food becomes avoidable waste.
Status: Stok is live as a stock and operations app. Food-waste prevention, food-business and farmer connections are longer-term direction and research. They are not available services or marketplaces today.
Why this direction
Waste often begins as an information problem.
When a business cannot see what is moving, what is ageing, or what needs attention, good stock can quietly lose value. Clean records are the first foundation. Perishable-aware signals, careful forecasting and operational action could be the next.
Perishable-aware insight
Stok already has a perishable product signal in its data model. The product direction is to learn from restock cadence and sales timing, then present understandable attention signals rather than inventing certainty.
Food Waste Guard
With business consent, reliable data and a proven benefit, Stok could help identify avoidable surplus early and test responsible paths for goods to reach useful demand instead of becoming waste.
Staged direction
Progress has to be earned at every step.
Inventory clarity for small businesses
Improve the core habit: products, buying, selling, stock, profit and history. Keep the experience simple, offline-friendly and useful on the phone a business already has.
Actionable perishable operations
Explore expiry and perishable workflows, low-stock and slow-moving signals, and useful reorder guidance. Any prediction must be labelled with its confidence and never presented as a guarantee.
Food Waste Guard across businesses
Study how restaurants, retailers, wholesalers and other food businesses could use trustworthy, permissioned signals to redirect viable surplus before it becomes waste. The operational, safety, pricing and custody model must be proven before launch.
Business and farmer connections
Explore whether aggregate demand, seasonal patterns or surplus signals can help farmers and buyers plan better. This is not a promise to operate a farmer marketplace; it is a future research direction built on consent, fairness and real field learning.
What will keep it honest
Signals are useful only when they respect the people behind them.
Human judgement stays central
Stok can surface an opportunity. Businesses, food handlers and farmers decide what is practical, safe and commercially right.
No fabricated impact
We will not claim food saved, farmer income or forecast accuracy until those outcomes are measured with a defensible method.
Build with partners, not assumptions
Food safety, quality, logistics, liability and affordability require real operators and partners—not a feature released from a software roadmap alone.
