How to perform a Quick Count

To perform a Quick Count, open the Quick Count flow on your Station, search for the product, enter the quantity you physically count, and tap Save. The stock level updates immediately and a confirmation screen appears. Quick Count sets the stock level to the number you enter; zero is valid and sets stock to zero.

Before you start

Quick Count is a spot-check flow that runs on your Station. You need inventory access in your Final organisation; if the flow will not save counts, ask your account admin to check your role.

Quick Count sets a product's stock level to the number you enter. It does not add to the existing count, so if you count 12 units on the shelf, enter 12, not the difference from what the system shows.

Step 1: Open Quick Count

On your Station, open the Quick Count flow. If your Station normally runs a different flow, switch to Quick Count from Station Home, then switch back when you are done.

Step 2: Find the product

Type the product name or SKU into the search field. The list filters as you type. If nothing comes up, clear the search and try a different term; the empty state tells you when there are no matches.

Step 3: Select the product

Tap the product you are counting to open the count entry screen.

Step 4: Enter the quantity

Count what is physically in front of you and enter that number. Zero is valid: if a shelf is empty, enter 0 and stock is set to zero.

Step 5: Save the count

Tap Save. Final updates the stock level immediately.

What happens after you save?

If the save succeeds, a confirmation screen appears. The product's stock level has been updated; there is no need to check the inventory record separately.

If the save fails, an error message explains what went wrong and your count stays on screen. Check your connection and tap Save again.

What if I lose connection mid-count?

You see an offline error and the count you entered is retained. Reconnect and tap Save again.

What does Quick Count not do?

Quick Count is for one product at a time, right now. It is not a scheduled audit tool and does not reconcile across Outlets. For a full count by category, use the Count & Commit flow.

How do I check the count went through?

After the confirmation screen, open Products in the Merchant Hub, find the item, and check its stock level. It should match what you entered.
