Retail Stock Audit Software

A clearer way to manage stock audit execution

Taqtics brings shelf checks, stockroom reviews, goods movement controls, inventory observations, scoring, evidence, reports, and corrective actions into one connected workflow across every store.

Verify shelf and stockroom conditions Capture location, time, shelf images, stockroom photos, comments, and audit history together.
Evaluate inventory controls consistently Use the same instructions, answer formats, proof rules, and scoring logic across locations.
Close stock and inventory gaps Assign owners, deadlines, escalations, and proof of resolution for every failed stock check.
Manual Stock Audit Gaps

Where manual retail stock audits break down

Select a common stock audit gap to see why disconnected checks reduce trust, delay visibility, and leave inventory issues unresolved.

Shelf availability

Missing SKUs and empty facings are identified too late

Manual checks make it difficult to surface low availability, empty shelves, and replenishment gaps before they affect store execution.

Process consistency

Stockrooms follow different storage and movement practices

Without clear standards, stores may handle receiving, labeling, transfers, damaged stock, and replenishment in different ways.

Evidence quality

HQ cannot confidently verify stock audit findings

Spreadsheet notes and chat images are difficult to connect with location, time, comments, scores, and the exact audit question.

Recurring issues

Repeat stock gaps are difficult to identify and close

Manual consolidation prevents HQ from spotting recurring inventory variances, weak stockroom discipline, and delayed corrective actions across stores.

Audit Coverage

What a Retail Stock Audit Should Cover

Move through five stock-control areas to review shelf availability, stockroom standards, physical inventory, goods movement, and exception handling across every store.

Coverage area 01

Shelf availability and replenishment execution

Confirm that priority SKUs are available, visible, and replenished according to the approved routine.

Shelf availability checks Identify out-of-stock items, low availability, empty facings, and missing priority SKUs.
Replenishment process Review replenishment frequency, backroom-to-shelf movement, and stock gap closure.
Coverage area 02

Stockroom organization and storage discipline

Review whether stock is stored safely, clearly, and in a way that supports accurate movement and replenishment.

Stockroom organization Product grouping, labeling, aisle access, storage discipline, and stockroom cleanliness.
High-value inventory control Secure storage, restricted access, controlled handling, and documentation for high-value products.
Coverage area 03

Inventory accuracy and cycle-count controls

Validate physical stock observations, count routines, variance handling, and review discipline.

Inventory accuracy Compare physical observations with expected records, count accuracy, and variance areas.
Cycle-count process Item selection, count evidence, variance comments, recounts, and reviewer checks.
Coverage area 04

Goods receiving, transfers, and inventory movement

Check whether incoming stock and internal movement follow approved controls and documentation.

Goods receiving checks Quantity checks, damage checks, receiving documents, approvals, and put-away discipline.
Stock transfers and movement Inter-store transfers, movement approvals, transfer documents, and tracking discipline.
Coverage area 05

Damaged stock, exceptions, and corrective action

Review how stores isolate, document, resolve, and prevent repeat stock-control exceptions.

Damaged and non-saleable stock Damage segregation, write-offs, quarantine areas, disposal records, and approvals.
Corrective action needs Owners, deadlines, evidence, and closure tracking for stock gaps, errors, and variances.
