A stocktake should not cost you a trading day
Most of the pain is not the counting. It is everything around it.
The shop closes to count
Stock is dragged to a table, cashiers come off the till, and trading stops while the count runs.
The variance arrives late
Numbers surface days or weeks afterwards, when nobody can still say what happened on the shelf.
Nobody trusts the figure
Counts that were not blind and never recounted leave you arguing about the result instead of acting on it.
We count, or you count. Pick what fits.
Use the team, use the app, or use both. The report at the end looks the same.

Scope the count
You tell us the sites, the timing and roughly how many SKUs. We come back with availability and a clear plan.
- 02
Count where it sits
Counters scan each product in place, blind to the expected quantity, so the first count is an honest one.
- 03
Recount and sign off
Gaps that matter are flagged for a recount, and a supervisor signs the result before anyone leaves.
- 04
Hand over the pack
Expected against counted by SKU, plus the value of the gap. Your managers can act on it the same day.

The terms, in plain English
New to stock counts? These are the words that come up in every report.
- Stock count
- A physical count of what is on your shelves and in your stockroom. Also called a stocktake or an inventory count.
- Blind count
- Counters record what they see without being shown the system quantity, so the first count is an honest one. Read the blind count guide.
- Variance
- The difference between the quantity you expected and the quantity you counted, by item. Negative is a shortage, positive a surplus.
- Stock valuation
- The book value of the stock you hold, and the money value of any gap between expected and counted.
- Shrinkage
- Stock that disappears between receiving and selling: theft, damage, expiry and admin errors. How to reduce shrinkage.
Get a feel for how we count
Before you book
A stocktake, also called a stock count or inventory count, is a physical count of the goods a business holds, compared against what its records say it should hold. The difference is the variance, and valuing the stock gives the money it is worth.
Variance is the counted quantity minus the expected quantity for each item. A negative figure is a shortage and a positive one is a surplus. Multiply it by the item cost to see what the gap is worth, which is what the valuation shows.
It depends on how much stock you hold and how quickly it moves. Many businesses do a full count once or twice a year and check high-value or fast-moving lines more often. A faster count makes more frequent counts affordable.
The service is a TotalTally team that comes to your site and does the count for you. The app is the software your own people use to run the count. You can use either on its own, or both.
No. The stocktaking service works with or without our software, and the stocktaking app can be chosen on its own when you register.
Yes. Counts are captured on the phone first and sync to the cloud when a connection is available, so a dead signal in the stockroom does not stop the count.
Counters record what they see without being shown the system quantity. That removes the temptation to count to the number, and it makes the variance honest. Lines that look wrong are recounted before sign-off.
It depends on your sites and SKU count, which is why we ask for both when you book. Counting in place is up to 75% faster than traditional table counts.
The software is priced by number of shops, and the current plans are on the pricing page. The counting service is quoted per job once we know your sites, timing and SKU count.
Anywhere in Zimbabwe. The software runs offline and in the cloud, and the counting team travels to you.
