Running an eCommerce business means juggling a hundred things at once. Between orders to fulfill, customers to support, and shelves to organize, there is always something competing for your attention. And then there’s inventory. Without reliable inventory stocktake software, even simple counts can turn into time-consuming guesswork.
Let’s be honest, counting stock isn’t exactly the most thrilling part of your day. In many cases, teams rely on a clipboard. Others turn to spreadsheets. Sometimes there’s even a post-it that says “check bin B12?” tucked somewhere on a shelf. Regardless of the method, the process often feels messy, manual, and easy to lose control of.
Because of that, we created Stocktake, a new inventory workflow in Ordoro designed to make counting smarter, faster, and far less stressful. Instead of guessing or backtracking, busy warehouse teams can rely on a structured system built for real-world operations.
Let’s Break Down Stocktake
Stocktake is your new favorite tool for counting inventory inside Ordoro. You can create saved sessions where you and your team scan items, compare expected versus actual quantities, and reconcile differences in real time.
No mystery edits. No “who changed this to 4?” Just clean, accurate inventory with a clear trail behind it.
Here’s What You Can Do with Stocktake
Multi-User Mode
Stocktake sessions support multiple users at the same time. Your team can count together using tablets, scanners, laptops, or whatever works.
Discrepancy Detection
Scan an item and immediately see if the quantity matches what’s in Ordoro. Accept the new value, flag it, or leave a note. It’s all tracked.
Barcode Scanner Support
Already using barcode scanners in Ordoro? Great. Stocktake works with the devices you already trust.
Kit and BOM Filters
Want to avoid double-counting bundled products? Use filters to exclude kits or components. Smart alerts help keep everything clean.
