Stock & inventory

Understand what changed in stock.

Retriever connects physical counts with purchases, sales, recipes and wastage so managers can see a variance, examine the evidence and choose the next action.

A variance with the evidence around it.

Retriever makes the paths into and out of stock easier to follow without pretending every difference has the same cause.

Physical counts

Record what is actually on hand in the venue.

Purchases and deliveries

Connect received items and supplier records to stock movement.

Sales and recipes

Use sold items and their recipe relationships to frame expected usage.

Wastage and corrections

Keep known losses and reviewed adjustments visible in the trail.

From evidence to action

Count, compare and investigate.

The aim is not a red number on a report. It is a practical explanation that the venue can act on.

  1. Record the count

    Start with the physical reality in the venue.

  2. Compare the movement

    Read the count against the purchases, sales, recipes and wastage already recorded.

  3. Resolve the difference

    A manager records the cause, correction or follow-up after reviewing the evidence.

Human judgement stays

Stock decisions stay grounded in the venue.

Retriever provides the connected picture. Managers still verify counts and decide how a variance should be handled.

  • Physical stock remains the starting point for a count.
  • Source movements stay available during variance review.
  • Managers distinguish wastage, mapping issues and count errors.
  • Corrections remain reviewable rather than automatic.

Stock accuracy depends on complete counts and source records. Review material differences before acting.
