Know what's on the shelf, and what's about to expire

Accurate stock without shutting the shop for a count, and expiry tracking your old POS never had.

Expiry report: dairy, deli and drinks batches expiring in 1 to 26 days with their quantity and value

How does expiry tracking work?

For each product you choose: record expiry when it's received, check it on the shelf, or don't track it. Dates are stored per batch. Alerts go out at 30, 15 and 7 days (you can change these), and the expiry screen suggests markdowns for stock close to its date.

Do I have to close for a stocktake?

No. Count one aisle, department or supplier at a time on handhelds while you trade. Daily cycle counts pick a few items each day so your stock stays accurate without a big count.

Can I see where stock goes missing?

The shrink report shows wastage, write-offs, stocktake differences and markdowns, at cost and as a percentage of sales, so you can see what's being lost and where.

What about markdown stickers?

Print a markdown sticker with its own barcode; the till charges the reduced price and the sale is tracked so you can see how much markdowns recover.

Common questions

Can I move stock between my stores?

Yes. Create a transfer, send it, and the receiving store ticks it in. Stock and costs move with it.

Does it suggest what to order?

Yes. Reorder suggestions use your sales rate, stock on hand and reorder points, and you can send the order to the supplier from the back office or a handheld.
