How do I do a stock take with Veira?

Updated June 2026

Short answer

A stock take is counting what is physically on the shelf and comparing it to what the system says you should have. Because Veira tracks stock as sales happen, the system figure is current, so the count mostly confirms it and surfaces any shrinkage. Confirm the in-app stock-count tool with the team for the exact steps.

More detail

The value of a stock take with a POS is that you are checking against a live figure, not rebuilding your inventory from scratch. Differences point straight to shrinkage, miscounts or unrecorded sales.

Do it regularly rather than once a year, so gaps are small and traceable. Ask the Veira team about the dedicated stock-count flow so your routine matches what the app offers.
