What's new in AVA

New: Venue Stock

  • Set up stock locations, items, sizes and colours, and print barcode labels.
  • Stock Control on iPhone and iPad: scan a location (or type its code) and count it, one item at a time. Several people can count at once.
  • Live tally in Mission Control, with what's sold since the last count.
  • Major Counts that include the stock room, and Book In Delivery for new stock.
  • Check Against Sales: tick each line against your till, or send it back to a phone for a recount.
  • Pause a count for the interval and carry on afterwards.
  • Count History, archiving, and export to Excel or CSV.
  • Schedule counts before and after shows, at set times each day, weekly or monthly.
