Count together, live
Each employee counts on their own register, during a shift. The server pushes every count to every other register: an item's total goes up while each person counts their aisle.
By scanner or by camera In the pet store example's app, a USB or Bluetooth scanner or the phone camera: 12* before the scan counts twelve, a case barcode counts its whole pack and a scale label counts its weight. Variances, then the finish Expected, counted and variance for each item, large variances flagged to recount, tracked items never counted; then a partial or full finish, or a cancel that applies nothing.
Why Stock count
The whole team at once
Three, five or ten employees count the same warehouse, each on their own register. The first one starts the count, the others join it, and every count shows up for everyone else.
By scanner or by camera
A USB or Bluetooth scanner, the phone camera, or a typed name. 12* before the scan counts twelve, a case barcode counts its whole pack and a scale label counts its weight.
A blind count
The example's counting screen never shows the expected stock: everyone counts what is on the shelf, not what the screen says.
Accurate variances with the store open
An item's expected stock is read at its first count. A later sale takes the item off both the stock and the shelf, so the variance stays correct without closing the store.
Review before you apply
The review shows the expected and counted quantities and the variance of each item, plus the tracked items never counted; the example's screen flags large variances "To recount".
Every adjustment explained
At the end, each variance becomes an adjustment movement in the inventory ledger, dated, audited and tied to its count: you always know where a number comes from.
What you get
- One open count per warehouse: the first employee starts it, the others join it from their own register.
- Counts from every register on shift, pushed live by the server, with the employees who are counting.
- USB or Bluetooth scanner, phone or tablet camera (iPhone included), or search by name.
- 12* before the scan, case barcodes counted at their pack quantity, scale labels counted at their weight, decimal quantities for bulk.
- Undo a count; correct a total, with the difference computed by the server so that a count a colleague records at the same moment is never lost.
- Review before finishing: expected, counted and variance per item, tracked items not counted and their stock.
- Partial finish (uncounted items keep their stock), full finish (uncounted items go to zero) or cancel, which applies nothing.
- Variances written as audited adjustment movements in the inventory ledger, tied to the count.
- With the AI assistant: where the count stands, what is left to count, the largest variances, and counts proposed from an attached file.
- Counts, review and finish in the register libraries (
PosInventory), to build your own screen. - A complete stock count app in the pet store example (web): counting screen, camera, variance review, free source code.
A stock count runs live with the server, so everyone sees every count. Sales keep working offline.
Your screen, starting from the example
StillDeep runs the stock count engine: the shared count, the counts pushed live, the variances and the adjustments, served to the registers by its libraries. The screen is yours, just like a register's. The web desktop of the pet store example gives you a complete one, the Stock count app: its source code is free. Change the logo, the colors, the screens and where each option sits, or build your inventory app on the register contract.
Open the desktop on your computer and on your phone, or with a colleague, and sign a demo employee into each window (password stilldeep123): every count from one shows up at once for the other, with who counted what. On the phone, the Camera button reads barcodes continuously.
Ideal for
- Grocery stores, convenience stores and markets
- Pet stores and specialty shops
- Bars and restaurants: bar, cellar and storeroom
- Year-end stock counts without closing the store

Questions about Stock count
Which software can a team use for a stock count?
The Stock count module: each employee counts on their register, tablet or phone, sees the others' counts arrive and reviews the variances before applying them.
How much does Stock count cost?
The price and online purchase open in January 2027. The license opens the Stock count module on all your registers. It is never assigned to a register and is sold by the year only. The pet store example's app and its source code are free.
Which module do I need first?
Retail or Bars and restaurants. The license opens the module as long as you hold a current license for one of them, and never beyond the end of the last one.
Can I adjust my stock without this module?
Yes. In the Admin, the inventory page adjusts an item by hand, and a CSV count import adjusts a whole warehouse. Stock count adds counting together, live, and the review of variances.
Can several employees count the same item?
Yes. Their counts add up and everyone sees the total go up live. A corrected total is computed by the server: a count a colleague records at the same moment is never lost.
Can I adapt the stock count screen?
Yes. StillDeep runs the engine and the libraries; the screen is yours, just like a register's. Start from the pet store example's Stock count app, whose source code is free, or build your own.
Do I need a barcode scanner?
No. A USB or Bluetooth scanner, the camera of a phone or tablet, or the item name typed in: all three count the same way.
Can I keep selling during the count?
Yes. Each item's expected stock is read at its first count: a sale that follows does not skew the variance.
Can the AI assistant read my count sheet?
Yes, with the AI assistant module. Attach an Excel workbook, a CSV file, a PDF, a text file or a photo of a count sheet, up to three files of 6 MB each per question: the assistant proposes the counts, which the employee reviews and accepts before anything is recorded.
Works well with
Retail
The inventory ledger per warehouse, the barcodes and the scale labels the count relies on.
Bars and restaurants
Count the bar, the cellar and the storeroom together, between lunch and dinner service.
AI assistant
Ask where the count stands and what is left to count, or attach a count sheet it reads for you.
