Introduction
Stock Counting Plugin is a software module that seamlessly integrates with Tagrain POS and allows you to keep a track of your inventory. It helps you reconcile the actual physical stock in hand at the store with the stock recorded in the system.
During an inventory count, some or all item(s) in your store is counted and recorded. When the inventory count is submitted,the application compares the actual physical stocks with the stocks recorded in the system and a report is generated for any unexpected variances in your inventory levels. The Stock Counting feature ensures that your store's inventory records are updated and you do not end up spending on inventory holding costs. See: Features of the Stock Count Plugin
