As retailers scale from three storefronts to thirty, manual spreadsheets and fragmented stock reconciliations quickly lead to stockouts and tied-up working capital.

Centralized Stock Visibility

Omnichannel success requires real-time inventory visibility across all physical stores, e-commerce warehouses, and transit shipments. When a cashier rings up an item at Branch A, global availability updates instantaneously across all channels.

Automated Reorder Points & Lead-Time Formulas

Rather than relying on weekly visual shelf checks, StrayPOS calculates dynamic safety stock thresholds using historical burn rates, supplier lead times, and seasonal velocity. Purchase orders are drafted automatically for manager sign-off.

Continuous Cycle Counting Without Store Shutdowns

Eliminate the need for stressful end-of-year midnight inventory counts. With mobile barcode terminals, staff execute rolling ABC cycle counts by category during normal operating hours with automated variance reporting.
