Tracking stock with PosGuru’s inventory management software is simple and automated to ensure accuracy across all sales channels.

1. Automatic Stock Updates
   • Once a product is added to your POS system, it’s tracked across physical and online sales (if integrated).
   • Every time an item is sold, the system automatically deducts it from stock levels.
2. Precision Tracking
   • PosGuru tracks inventory down to the last button, ensuring real-time accuracy.
   • This means you always have an up-to-date stock count—as long as all sales go through the system.
3. Manual Entry Option
   • You can manually enter sales, but automated tracking saves time and reduces errors.

With PosGuru’s inventory management, you get real-time stock visibility, seamless updates, and reduced inventory discrepancies.
