How to do a stocktake that actually balances
A stocktake that just overwrites the numbers hides the loss you needed to find. RushFlow runs counts against live stock with variance control, so differences are flagged, explained and corrected — and done under lock so a busy shop does not corrupt the count.
The problem
Counting into a spreadsheet and pasting totals back hides variance and invites race conditions during trading.
- Differences not flagged
- Counts corrupted by concurrent sales
- No record of adjustments
The approach with RushFlow
Scan-assisted counts compare to live stock, flag variance, and post adjustments under control.
- Barcode-assisted counting
- Variance flagged vs live stock
- Adjustments recomputed under lock
- History of who counted and adjusted
