M3  

The M3 stocktaking software is written specifically for the latest windows systems. Windows 7, Vista, XP, and 2000 compatible.

M3 is a high quality top of the range stocktaking package for professional licensed trade stocktakers.

M3 is a sensibly priced solution for your stocktaking needs.

M3 is used daily on site by many professional stocktakers, and also the people that have written and programmed it, and as a result the software is properly suited to the job.

Microstoc stocktaking software is well established and has been around since 1988. It is widely used and acclaimed by dozens of professional licensed trade stocktakers throughout the UK.

M3 is written using the latest Microsoft Windows development platform. This means M3 is specifically designed to run on Windows and will be usable for very many years to come and will give a good return for your investment.

M3 has been built using the tried and trusted methods of its predecessor software, that has been running on Microsoft operating systems, and continues to run, for over 18 years.

M3 can read and convert your existing data files and import the product data. You can usually convert a product data file in a matter of minutes. M3 can read Mandata files, Innkeeper files (the Sebastian Martienssen program), as well as most other popular stocktaking software data files. These converters will considerably ease your transition over to the M3 system as they save you having to rebuild your files from scratch.

  Features  

 Microstoc software includes all the features you would expect from a professional package, because it is written by stocktakers, for stocktakers. M3 is specifically designed to be used daily, on a laptop, producing on site results. It allows you to produce on site results with the minimum of fuss. It is equally efficient back at the office.
If you are an independent stocktaker working on your own, or if you are a stocktaking company running 20 stocktakers out of various offices, M3 will fulfill your needs.


One of our main aims is to promote simple and efficient exchange of data between stocktakers. Nothing is more frustrating than having to purchase expensive new user licenses each time you take on new stocktakers or need a stocktaker to do a one off job for you. Our flexible license agreement enables you, and the stocktakers you work with, to get the job done, inexpensively, efficiently, and without fuss. That's how it should be.

Because of the small data file size you can easily email the data file for any stocktake to any other stocktaker, thus allowing them to complete jobs from start to finish.

M3 is Windows based and you can use a mouse to navigate your way around the program. Producing on site results is all about getting the job done quickly and tests have found that stopping to use the mouse vastly affects workflow, particularly when on site using the laptop touch pads. You can navigate your way around most of the M3 program using just the numeric keypad and keyboard, without too much recourse to the mouse. This speeds up production enormously. Mouse or Keypad control, it is up to you.

 We are not just interested in making a sale. Your satisfaction is important to us and you will receive all the personal support you need as you learn the new system.

 Microstoc has grown from the suggestions and ideas of it's users. If you require a feature, then talk to us, we usually include it in the program at no charge whatsoever. We do enjoy programming.

M3 should have a long life depending on the operating system you are running. If you do not change your operating system then M3 will last forever.

Stocktakers have been using the software for over 19 years.
