The biggest challenge in stocktaking: inexperienced temporary workers
Stocktaking is one of the most demanding tasks in retail. In addition to permanent employees, temporary staff are often hired to handle the large number of items in a short period of time. This is where problems arise. Lengthy training sessions, language barriers, and confusing paper lists lead to errors that result in overstocking or shortages. These inaccuracies have direct consequences. They distort inventory accuracy, complicate reordering, and can cause revenue losses. At the same time, the stocktake adds extra pressure to day-to-day operations, which must continue without interruption.
Digital inventory: the direct path to efficiency and data quality
The COSYS inventory software fundamentally transforms the process. Instead of hours of training, a short introduction is enough. The user interface is clearly structured, icon-based, and available in multiple languages. Employees simply scan the barcode of the item and its location. The data is recorded either in real time or offline and later synchronized automatically.
This approach offers a decisive advantage, especially for temporary staff. They can start working productively without prior experience. Built-in validation checks prevent duplicate or incorrect entries, significantly improving data quality.
