Stock automatically updates throughout service.
Stock moves every hour: delivered, prepped, used, sold, thrown away, written off.
Not just counting for stock
Stock takes done digitally not on paper.
The count happens on a phone in front of the shelf, with the product list already in it. Nothing is transcribed afterwards, so nothing is lost between the shelf and the spreadsheet.

One recipe. The stock, the batch and the label follow it.
Write mixes and finished products from the products already in your inventory, then publish a version. Production records, traceability, labels and the till all read from that version.

Log it once and the pattern appears.
Waste is captured by product, reason, location and value. After a few weeks it stops being a number and starts showing a cause.

It starts at the back door.
A delivery lands during prep and the driver is waiting. The check gets done properly or it gets done quickly, and there is nothing afterwards to show which it was.

Stock that matches what actually happened.
Ingredients come off once
When a dish is prepared, its recipe takes the ingredients out of stock, once, with the cost at that moment. Retrying the same action never deducts twice.
A refund is money, not stock
Refunding a cooked dish returns the payment. The food stays used, because it was.
Cancelled doesn't mean restocked
When an order is cancelled, staff choose what happens to the stock: waste, return it or leave it. Nothing goes back on the shelf without someone deciding.
Goods in, matched for you
Import the supplier's CSV, or photograph the delivery note. Confirm any near-matches, and ocapii remembers that supplier's wording next time.
Stocktakes that explain the gap
Count, lock and review. Variance shows in quantity and in cost, so the difference is a number you can act on.
Expiry and low stock, flagged early
Products carry their dates and minimum levels. The right person hears before something runs out or goes over.
Count once, and the rest follows
A quantity entered at goods-in is the same record that expiry alerts, labels, waste logs and the till all read from. Nothing gets typed in twice, so nothing disagrees with itself.
Scan it instead of writing it down
Products carry barcodes, so counting, receiving and issuing is a scan on a phone rather than a line on a clipboard. It works offline in cellars, cold rooms and store rooms with no signal.
Expiry is watched, not remembered
Every product carries its date. ocapii raises the alert before the date passes, to the person whose job it is, not to a shared inbox.
Every recipe connected. From ingredients to the finished batch.
Ocapii Recipes brings ingredients, indicative costs, allergens and production records together in one place. Give your team the latest published recipe, keep labels linked to it and trace each batch, without chasing paper sheets or updating separate spreadsheets.
One view across every site, one number per site
Group dashboards compare sites on the same measures, because every site captures stock the same way. Site managers still run their own stock room.

Asset Management
Scan the label on any piece of equipment and its full record opens: history, safety status, open work and what's due next.
Inventory management common questions
Inventory management software records what stock an organisation holds, where it is, what condition it is in and when it moves. ocapii holds stock on the same platform as the checks, sensors, labels and orders that act on it, so a quantity entered once is used everywhere it is needed.
Product catalogue, barcode scanning, stock counts, expiry tracking, low-stock alerts, waste logging by product, reason, location and value, recall support, label printing from live product data, and stock deduction from the till.
Yes. ocapii runs a parent and child site structure, so head office sees group dashboards while each site keeps control of its own stock room. Every site captures the same way, which is what makes the group comparison mean anything.
Not for stock. Counting and scanning run on the phones and tablets your teams already carry. Sensors are a separate decision, and they matter if you want stock condition as well as stock quantity. Confirm your specific scanner or printer model with the team.
Yes. Counts, stock updates, forms and evidence capture work offline and sync when the device is back in signal, which matters in cellars, cold rooms and basement stores.
No, and no platform can. Stock accuracy depends on whether people count what is there and record what they use. ocapii supports that by making capture fast, attributing every entry to a person and a time, and showing where numbers disagree. The accuracy of your own data remains your own responsibility.
No. The same capability runs for clinical and care consumables, housekeeping stores, raw materials and workshop parts. The products change, the platform does not.
