“It will only take an hour” might be the most dangerous sentence before stocktake 😄
It usually starts with confidence, a few scanners and a very optimistic spreadsheet.
A few hours later, someone is recounting the same shelf for the third time, the numbers still do not match, and pizza boxes have officially joined the inventory.
Stocktake will never be the most exciting part of retail, but it should not become an overnight team-building exercise either.
With Odoo, stock movements are recorded as they happen, inventory stays much easier to track, and there is far less detective work at the end.
What is the longest stocktake you have ever survived? 😄
