Introduction to Stockount

Who are we?

We understand the challenges faced by small and medium-sized businesses that deal with physical goods. Whether you operate a retail shop, a distribution center, or trade goods in any form of packaging, you know the importance of accurate inventory management. Maintaining accurate stock levels is crucial, especially when operating across multiple locations or with various staff handling inventory. Discrepancies between physical and recorded stock can lead to significant financial losses. Excess stock ties up capital and can result in spoilage or obsolescence, while stock shortages lead to lost sales and dissatisfied customers.

These discrepancies can arise from various factors, including theft, incorrect billing or dispatch, inaccurate deliveries, and general mishandling. Often, casual handling and internal theft contribute significantly to these losses. Over time, these seemingly minor discrepancies accumulate, impacting profitability and, in some cases, even leading to business closure. Traditionally, businesses have often budgeted for these losses, accepting them as an unavoidable cost due to the lack of a reliable solution.

Traditional stocktaking methods are manual, time-consuming, and resource-intensive. They require significant manpower, generate vast amounts of paperwork, and are prone to human error, leading to inaccurate results. Moreover, these audits often necessitate business closures, resulting in lost revenue. We recognize these pain points and have developed a solution to address them directly.
