Scoperly Studio — on-premise business management for distributors
Inventory with batches and expiry dates, orders, invoicing and receivables, reports — all on your own server, works offline. When it is online, it syncs your catalog and orders with the Scoperly marketplace.
Windows 10+ · x64 · installers and the link code are on the Scoperly Studio page of the supplier portal
Studio comes with the Pro and Enterprise plans
No separate licence: subscribe, open Integrations → Scoperly Studio in the supplier portal, download the installers and link your installation with a one-time code.
Go to the portal →One server. Every workstation.
The Studio Server and PostgreSQL run on a single office machine. Workstations connect to it over your local network. The connection to the Scoperly marketplace is optional.
Workstations
Sales, warehouse, accounting — the Windows app on each computer.
- Sales
- Warehouse
- Accounting
Office server
Studio Server + PostgreSQL. Your data lives here.
Scoperly Cloud
Marketplace: catalog, stock, orders. Optional.
Operators are local accounts inside Studio — they do not need Scoperly accounts. Only the owner links the installation, and only the server talks to Scoperly.
What Studio does
Day-to-day distribution work, in one application.
Inventory, batches and expiry
Stock per warehouse, tracked by batch and expiry date. FEFO picking offers the earliest expiry first.
Sales orders and reservations
Take an order, reserve the stock on confirmation, pick it, dispatch it — one flow from order to delivery note.
Invoicing, receivables, credit
Issue invoices, register payments, see who owes what, and set a credit limit per customer.
Purchasing and goods receipts
Purchase orders to your own suppliers, receipts into batches, cost updated on the way in.
Reports
Sales by customer, product and representative; inventory value; receivables aging.
Marketplace sync
Connected to Scoperly, your catalog, stock, images and marketplace orders stay in step with Studio.
How to install
The installers and the link code are on the Scoperly Studio page of your supplier portal (Pro and Enterprise plans). Then:
- 1
Check the requirements
Windows 10+ or Windows Server 2019+ (x64), 8 GB RAM on the server, Java 21 (JRE) and Docker Desktop — PostgreSQL 16 runs in a container (or use your own PostgreSQL 16) — and a local network between the server and the workstations. Give the server a fixed local IP address.
- 2
Install the server
Unpack the server package on the office machine and read INSTALL.md. From an elevated PowerShell run provision-studio-env.ps1 — it creates .env and generates the secrets, nothing to type in. Then docker compose up -d for the database and start-studio.ps1 for the server; it prints the address the workstations should use. Move studio-recovery-sheet.txt off the machine.
- 3
Install the workstation app
Run the installer on each computer and follow the steps.
Windows SmartScreen may say “Unknown publisher”. Choose More info → Run anyway. The builds are not code-signed yet — verify the SHA-256 checksum shown in the portal first.
- 4
First launch
Enter the server address; the setup wizard creates the company and the owner account. If you downloaded from the supplier portal, choose “I have a code from the Scoperly portal” and paste it — the installation is linked without signing in inside Studio.
- 5
Updates
The app checks for new versions and asks before it installs one. The server is updated by the administrator with update-studio.ps1.

Questions
Is Studio free?
Studio is included in the Pro and Enterprise plans at no extra charge. There is no separate Studio licence and no public download: you install it from your supplier portal.
Do operators need Scoperly accounts?
No. Operators are local users you create inside Studio. Only the owner of the installation needs a Scoperly account, and only to link the installation.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Everything runs on your server over the local network. If you use the marketplace connection, sync resumes on its own once the line is back.
Is there a macOS or Linux version?
The workstation app is Windows x64 only. The office server runs on Windows or Linux (systemd; the Linux path is a pilot). macOS is not supported; other platforms will follow demand.
Where is my data kept?
On your server, in your own PostgreSQL database. Backups are part of the server package. Nothing leaves the building except what you choose to sync to the marketplace.
Is Studio open source?
No. Studio is proprietary software.
