Count Stock Without Closing the Shop

Copy

Our stocktake takes a whole Sunday and is wrong by Tuesday. Build me a stock counting app. Let me define sections of the shop and assign a section to a person to count on their phone. As they enter a counted quantity, show the system quantity and the variance immediately, in units and in value. Any adjustment requires a reason chosen from a short list such as damage, theft, miscount, wrong delivery or unknown. When a section is submitted it updates stock levels and records who counted it and when. Show me a variance report by section, by product and by reason. Add an AI agent that reviews counts over time and tells me which lines go missing repeatedly and whether the pattern looks like a process problem or shrinkage. Automate a scheduled rolling count plan so every section is counted on a cycle I set, with high-value sections counted more often, and a monthly variance summary. Two logins: staff who count their assigned sections, and an owner who sees values and approves large adjustments. It must work on a phone.

Annual stocktakes are painful and out of date the next morning. This counts a section at a time on a phone, shows the variance immediately, and records why it moved.

What's Included

  • Counting by section so it happens weekly rather than annually.
  • Variance against system stock shown as you count.
  • A reason on every adjustment which is where shrinkage becomes visible.
  • An assistant that names the lines that go missing repeatedly.

How To Use

  1. Count small sections often rather than everything once a year.
  2. Require a reason on every adjustment. Unexplained variance teaches nothing.
  3. Count high-value lines more frequently than low-value ones.
  4. Review repeat variances. They are usually a process problem, not theft.
