Use case — Inventory management
Know exactly what you have in stock — every time
Manual stock counts and scattered inventory data lead to discrepancies that cost money. ShopTasks keeps inventory checks on schedule, documented, and tracked so every count is accurate.

Manual stock counts lead to inventory discrepancies
Counting stock by hand is slow and error-prone. By the time you discover a discrepancy, it has already cost you sales or created a customer issue.
No visibility into stock levels across locations
Stock numbers are scattered across spreadsheets, emails, and individual memory. Nobody knows what is actually available without asking three different people.
Stockouts and overstock happen without warning
There is no system to flag when inventory hits reorder points or when stock sits too long. You are always reacting instead of planning.
How ShopTasks solves it
Turn inventory management into a scheduled, tracked process
Schedule inventory checks as recurring tasks. Assign to the right team member. Document counts. Flag discrepancies. Track reorder points. Inventory stops being a guess and becomes a system.
- Create inventory check tasks on a schedule — daily, weekly, or per location
- Assign stock counts to specific team members with clear ownership
- Document actual counts and flag discrepancies immediately
- Set reorder point reminders so you never run out of top sellers
- Track inventory history to spot trends and prevent future issues
- Managers see all outstanding stock tasks at a glance
Example: Weekly warehouse inventory check workflow
Schedule regular inventory checks
Create recurring ShopTasks tasks for inventory counts — daily for high-turnover items, weekly for secondary stock.
Assign counts to team members
Each inventory task is assigned to a specific person. They own the accuracy for their section of the warehouse or store.
Record physical counts and flag discrepancies
Team members do the physical count and log numbers directly in the task. Any difference from system records is noted immediately.
Review and reconcile
Managers review completed counts, investigate discrepancies, and authorize adjustments to system inventory.
Adjust and prevent future issues
System inventory is corrected. The task history shows patterns — if one SKU always has discrepancies, it signals a handling or tracking problem.
Inventory management questions
Can ShopTasks connect to my inventory management system?
ShopTasks works as an operational layer on top of your existing system. You add inventory totals and notes to tasks and export completed inventory records for your records.
How do I track when to reorder stock?
Create a task that triggers when inventory drops below a threshold. Assign that task to your procurement team so reorders happen before you run out.
Can I track inventory across multiple locations?
Yes. Create separate inventory check tasks per location, assign them to local team leads, and view all outstanding checks from the ShopTasks board.
What happens if my physical count does not match system inventory?
Log the discrepancy directly in the task with notes. Document suspected causes — damage, theft, scanning errors — so you can address the root issue.
