I run a few smart fridges in Essex, and my card reader is great at telling me what's in the machines. What it doesn't do is tell me what's sitting in my storeroom, garage and van, what's about to go out of date, or what I actually need to buy before restock day. I was doing that on a spreadsheet and getting it wrong.

So I've built an app for it called Backstock. It's aimed at operators with a handful of machines rather than big route businesses.

What it does:

- Tracks stock across your storeroom, garage, van, etc.
- Keeps best-before dates per batch and always uses the nearest date first
- Builds your shopping list from your own reorder levels and recent sales, rounded to whole cases
- Pick lists for the machines you're visiting today
- Imports Nayax sales reports
- Scans receipts and barcodes so there's less typing
- Puts restock days in your calendar with the shopping list added the day before
- Spots slow sellers and the money tied up in them

What I'm after: 15–20 operators to use it for real restocks for at least two weeks from 17 November, and tell me what's confusing, broken or missing. iPhone and Android both welcome, but I especially need Android testers, because Google requires 12 people opted in for 14 days before a new app can launch.

What you get: free Pro access during the beta, then the founding price for life (£4.99/month instead of £7.99) if you want to keep using it. (We also offer the equivalent in dollars for our US operators)

Also happy to hear how you all track storeroom stock now, even if you don't want to test. Spreadsheets, apps, back of an envelope?

Hi, I’ve recently stumbled across an issue with my E 36 coupe where the handles don’t unlock the door the inside one does but I need to put it really hard however the outside one doesn’t do anything. I’ve attached a video which shows how the inside handle looks to work however it still doesn’t activate the latch. The outside hand doesn’t work at all. Has anyone experienced this before and if so, what was the diagnosis?

Thanks!

Does anyone know anywhere where you can buy the inserts for E36 Door cards. I was just pulling mine apart to reupholster it only to find out they’re in the late models. They use a really rubbish cardboard material which just gets ripped to shreds. So here I am, asking for help!

Thanks in advance!
