Faster
One scan per item: work shelf by shelf, with no count sheet to type in afterwards.
Stock counts
Count your store's stock with a handheld scanner
No more counting on paper and typing it all in afterwards: the inventory manager scans items on the shelves with a wireless scanner, and EASY-POS immediately sets the count against theoretical stock.
The idea
Scan instead of counting by hand
Open the count
The inventory manager creates the count, with its title and date.
Scan the shelves
Item by item, the scanner reads the label: counted quantities are recorded as you scan, with nothing to write down.
Read the differences
The application compares the count with theoretical stock: missing or surplus items stand out straight away.
What you gain
A faster, more accurate stock count
Fewer mistakes
The label's code identifies the item: no mix-ups between two similar references.
Precise differences
Each difference concerns an identified item: a forgotten label, an unrecorded removal, a misplaced item.
Accurate stock
Stock restarts from a verified base, at launch as at the end of a season.
The hardware
The right scanner for stock counts
A wireless scanner such as the ZKTeco ZKB202S follows the inventory manager to the shelf: up to 60 m from its base, and at least 12 hours of use per charge according to the manufacturer.
Who does what
The inventory manager, with their own access
The inventory manager role opens counts, records quantities and reviews differences, without access to the till if you so decide. See user roles.
Differences can then be explained with each product's history of stock in, stock out, transfers and sales.
Frequently asked questions
What is a handheld scanner used for?
It is the barcode scanner you hold in your hand, often called a « douchette » in Morocco. Wireless, it lets you scan items on the shelves, away from the counter.
Can we count stock with the till's scanner?
Yes, any scanner connected to the computer reads the labels; a wireless scanner simply saves carrying items to the counter.
Does the scanner read QR codes?
Yes: the 2D scanners we install read barcodes and QR codes alike.
How often should we count stock?
It depends on your products: a full count at the end of a season or year, and more frequent counts on high-value items.
