Store inventory use cases
High-shrinkage category control
Fashion and luxury retailers can face significant inventory losses in categories such as jewelry and high-value accessories. OneStock enables targeted inventory counting campaigns on these high-risk categories, with mobile-guided instructions that makes frequent audits fast and non-disruptive. Store associates receive proactive count proposals when fulfillment issues arise, allowing teams to identify shrinkage sources quickly and maintain tight control without disrupting store operations.
Seasonal stock preparation
Before peak demand periods, retailers need confidence in inventory accuracy across seasonal categories. OneStock allows operations teams to launch targeted counting campaigns for specific product lines, such as swimwear before summer or outerwear before winter, ensuring availability is accurate when customer demand surges. This prevents stockouts during critical selling periods and reduces order cancellations that damage conversion rates and customer trust.
Balance stock between stores
Getting the right distribution of inventory across multiple stores is a continuous challenge. High-traffic flagship stores can run out of popular sizes while smaller locations have plenty of inventory for the same items. OneStock's Store Inventory Transfer application enables store managers and planners to move stock between locations quickly, avoiding markdowns on slow-moving items while capturing sales in high-demand stores. Full traceability ensures compliance and visibility for auditing requirements.
Real-time damage and theft recording
Every day, store associates discover damaged items on racks, empty hangers, or administrative discrepancies that create phantom stock. OneStock empowers associates to record these adjustments immediately via the mobile app, with detailed reason codes that help retailers track distinct shrinkage causes. Proactive adjustment proposals consolidate daily issues, streamlining validation workflows and ensuring online availability always reflects physical reality.

How does store inventory management reduce order cancellations?
OneStock connects inventory accuracy directly to fulfillment execution. When store associates declare stock discrepancies through the mobile app, the system automatically triggers order reallocation to alternative locations. This prevents cancellations due to phantom stock, protects revenue, and maintains customer trust. Petit Bateau achieved a near-zero order cancellation rate using OneStock’s intelligent orchestration connected to store inventory reliability.
What is cycle counting and how does it improve inventory accuracy?
Targeted physical inventory counts, sometimes known as cycle counting, is a method of checking inventory accuracy by counting a small, scheduled subset of SKUs without stopping operations. OneStock enables targeted cycle counting campaigns focused on high-value items, high-shrinkage categories, or seasonal products. Store associates peform the counts via mobile-guided workflows with real-time updates, improving accuracy without the disruption of full inventory counts (stock-takes). Studies show fixing inventory record inaccuracy can increase sales by 4-8%.
Can store associates perform inventory adjustments in real-time?
Yes. OneStock’s mobile-first Store Inventory Adjustment application means associates can record stock changes in real-time directly from the shop floor. Whether handling damaged goods, theft, or administrative errors, associates use granular reason codes to track distinct issues. The system consolidates daily inventory issues and actively proposes adjustments for validation, streamlining exception treatment and ensuring perpetual inventory accuracy.
How do inventory transfers work between stores and warehouses?
OneStock’s Store Inventory Transfer application allows transfers to be requested via the admins application (back office) or directly from the Store App, either manually or through bulk file imports. Once created, requests are automatically routed to the correct fulfilling location (DC or store), where staff manage picking and shipping directly within the mobile app. Full historical logs are maintained in the Back Office for complete traceability and auditing.
Does store inventory management integrate with existing systems?
Yes. OneStock integrates seamlessly with existing ERP, WMS, POS, and ecommerce platforms through enterprise-grade APIs, webhooks, and connectors. Inventory adjustments, counts, and transfers synchronize in real-time with your existing systems, ensuring a single source of truth. This architecture simplification reduces technical debt, lowers integration costs, and accelerates deployment of new omnichannel capabilities while maintaining full visibility and control.
