Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureYour staff count on their own phones without seeing the expected quantity, so numbers come back honest. Several people count at once and their scans add up instead of overwriting each other. Scans are saved offline and sent when the connection returns. See variance per item, valued at cost, before a single adjustment is written, then commit in one tap or discard.
Shopify tracks what you sell, not what you lose. Record shrinkage, theft, damage, short deliveries and returns, or run a guided cycle count and post the variance as costed losses. See your shrink rate against stock and the retail benchmark. A count-due list says which SKUs to count next. A vendor scorecard shows what suppliers owe you, with a claim CSV.
