The Cost of Manual Restocking
Walking the floor to check stock levels is time-consuming and error-prone. Items get missed, counts are off, and by the time you realise something is low, you have already lost sales. Manual restocking is one of the most expensive invisible costs in retail.
Setting Minimum Stock Levels
In Ovaloop, you set a minimum quantity for each product. The system monitors stock in real time and flags any product that falls below its threshold. You get a clear restocking list every morning without walking a single shelf.
"I used to spend two hours every morning counting stock. Now I open the app and my list is ready."
— Sola M., Provision Store Owner
Auto-Generated Purchase Orders
Beyond alerts, Ovaloop can generate a draft purchase order automatically when stock falls below your threshold. Select your preferred supplier, review quantities, and send — all from your phone. What used to take hours now takes minutes.
