Retail inventory management

Retail inventory from receiving through sales and stock counts

As the catalog grows, sales records and shelf quantities are more likely to drift apart. Connect barcode lookup, purchasing, sales, location stock, and counts in one workflow.

Fast barcode lookup

Find products with a phone camera, direct code entry, or product search.

Stock by store or warehouse

Track quantities by location and record stock transfers between locations.

Low-stock visibility

Compare stock on hand with target quantities to identify items to reorder.

Price tags and sales analysis

Print product price tags and review product-level sales and profit.

The core retail inventory workflow

Registration, receiving, sales, returns, and counts all continue from the same product record.

  1. 1. Register products and barcodes

    Add the product name, barcode, sale price, and opening stock.

  2. 2. Purchase and receive

    Record supplier orders, actual received quantities, and purchase costs.

  3. 3. Sell and return

    Reflect sales shipments and returns in the original transaction flow.

  4. 4. Count and analyze

    Check physical quantities and review stock and sales by product.

How it differs from a retail inventory spreadsheet

No file handoffs

PC and mobile users see the same stock on hand and change history.

Store and warehouse quantities stay separate

See where stock is held, not only the combined total.

Receiving-cost changes remain visible

Use receiving history and moving-average cost in product decisions.
