How MyPointOfSale Tracks Your Inventory

Inventory management shouldn't require manual spreadsheets or end-of-day counts. Here's how the system keeps everything accurate automatically.

1

Add Your Products Once

Enter each product with its name, barcode, category, selling price, purchase cost, and initial stock level. This takes seconds per product and never needs to be repeated.

2

Stock Deducts on Every Sale

When a cashier scans a product at checkout, the system deducts that quantity from inventory automatically. No manual counting, no reconciliation needed.

3

Receive Stock with Purchase Orders

When stock arrives from suppliers, receive it against a purchase order. Inventory increments automatically and the cost price is recorded for margin tracking.

4

Get Alerted When Stock Is Low

Set a minimum stock level (reorder point) per product. When stock falls below it, the system flags it so you can reorder before shelves go empty.

5

Adjust for Damage, Theft, or Gifts

Log any stock adjustment with a reason. The system maintains a full audit trail of every inventory movement for accountability.

Inventory Features in Detail

📊

Real-Time Stock Levels

Current stock for every product is always up to date. View the full product list with current quantities, low-stock status, and last updated time.

🔔

Low-Stock Alerts

Set a reorder point per product. Products below their threshold appear highlighted in the inventory view. Never miss a restocking need.

💼

Purchase Cost Tracking

Record the purchase price for every batch of stock received. The system uses this to calculate gross margin and flag products with bad margins.

🔄

Stock Adjustments

Manually adjust stock for any reason — damage, shrinkage, gifted stock, or stocktake correction — with mandatory reason entry for audit trail.

📈

Product Performance

See which products sell most, which generate most revenue, and which sit on shelves. Data-driven decisions for your ordering and pricing.

🏢

Supplier Management

Why Manual Inventory Tracking Fails

Many store owners still manage stock with notebooks or spreadsheets. This leads to predictable problems that cost money.

Manual MethodWhat Goes Wrong
Notebook recordsEasy to miss entries, hard to search, lost data
SpreadsheetsNot updated in real time, errors from manual entry
Memory onlyMisses slow leaks, stock-outs surprise you
End-of-day countsTime-consuming, doesn't prevent in-day out-of-stocks
