Real-time inventory.From the floor up.
A new way to know what you have. Not what you had.
Inventory has always been a snapshot. You count the shelf, write the number down, and from that moment it drifts — until the system is sure of stock that isn’t there, and the shelf stays empty. Ventee keeps the number true.
Every wrong number has a price. Mostly paid in sales you never see.
When the system says there are twelve on the shelf and the shelf is empty, nobody reorders. The customer who came for it leaves with something else, or goes somewhere else. It never shows up as a loss. It just never shows up as a sale.

Ventee keeps the figure true. Here is what that gives back.
The sales you were missing.
Shelves the system believes are full are found, checked and refilled — the ones costing you most, first.
Less thrown away.
Orders follow what is really on the shelf, and best-before dates are caught in time to mark down instead of throw out.
Less money standing still.
When the figure is right, nobody orders the extra box just in case.
Shrinkage, located.
Not just how much went missing, but where: which store, which department, which article.
No more stocktake night.
The yearly count after closing becomes a few shelves a day, done by the people who know the store.
Figures finance can sign.
What reaches the ERP has been counted, checked and signed off — and can be traced back to the shelf.

Built from the floor up. For the people who do the counting.
Most inventory systems are made for the office and handed down to the store. Ventee began on the shop floor — with the people who count between customers, in gloves, in the cold room — so it is quick to learn, calm to use and never in the way. Counting stops being a yearly ordeal and becomes a few shelves a day.

Rapid count — every scan adds one
One scan. One count.
Pull the trigger and it’s counted. No typing, no menus in the way — even on the seven-thousandth article of the day.
A few shelves a day.
Counting happens while the store is open, a little at a time, instead of all at once after closing.
It knows where to look.
Fast movers, shelves no one has counted in a while, and stock that shows on screen but never sells come first.
It reads the whole label.
Best-before dates, batches and weights come straight from the barcode, so no one writes them down.
It never stops.
No signal in the cold room? Every count is kept on the handheld and sent the moment a bar comes back — exactly once.
Reality goes first.
An article no system has heard of is counted anyway. The office fills in the details later; the count never waits.
Every change, on the record. None of them erased.
In Ventee, stock is not a number someone typed in. It is the sum of everything that happened — every sale, every delivery, every count — each kept exactly as it was recorded. A mistake is put right by a new line, never by changing an old one.

Between the tills and the books. The layer that was missing.
Ventee sits between the systems that see things happen and the one that keeps the accounts. Sales, articles and counts come in; figures that have been checked and signed off go out.
Learn from every count. Across the whole chain.
Every count adds to a growing record of what really happens in your stores: which shelves drift, where shrinkage hides, what sells faster than it is ordered. Ventee turns it into a report for every question — and, each morning, a short list of the shelves most likely standing empty.

Stock on the system, no sales — ranked by what it costs
Empty shelves, found.
Stock the system believes in but no one is buying is flagged, handed to the floor to check, and ranked by what it is costing.
Every count teaches the next.
Fast movers are counted more often, trouble spots sooner. The more you count, the better Ventee knows where to look.
A report for every question.
Accuracy, shrinkage, write-offs and coverage — by chain, region, store, department and article, as far back as you have counted.
One system. The whole chain. From the floor to head office.
The same figures, seen from where each person stands. No exports passed around, no spreadsheet that was right last Tuesday.
The floor.
A handheld that asks for a few shelves a day and counts with a single scan — made to be picked up on day one.
The store.
The manager sees what is counted, what is probably missing from the shelf and what is waiting for a signature.
The region.
Stores side by side, counts signed off from anywhere, and a clear view of where help is needed.
Head office.
Accuracy, shrinkage and missed sales across every store — and figures the finance team can put in the books.
Built to be relied on. From the floor to the auditor.
A record that proves itself.
Every action is written to an audit log where each entry is sealed to the one before it, so a changed or missing entry shows.
Access, by design.
What each person may see and do is decided by the platform — for the chain, the region and the store — not by the device in their hand.
Every device, accounted for.
Handhelds are enrolled to the store they serve. A lost one is shut out from the office, at once.
Honest about its age.
A handheld that has been offline says so, and how old its figures are. It never passes off yesterday’s number as today’s.
