Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureHandcount is a stocktake you run from your admin and from any phone. Create a count for one location, or narrow it to a vendor or product type. A cycle count leaves untouched items alone; a full count zeroes what nobody counted. Anything nobody scanned can be typed into the admin table, and the counting screen speaks twelve languages.

Transfer stock by scanning, verify pick-and-pack fulfillment and assign bin locations so staff find items. Print barcode labels on thermal or sheet printers.
