{ n: "04", t: "Stocktakes that stay filed", b: "Scan to count, with a blind mode when you would rather not see the system figure while you count. Variances in dollars as you go, and each count kept with the date, who counted, and every line that moved." },
{ n: "05", t: "Three routes, one ceiling", b: "Name your own staff groups and give each one a route. On the FTE table, the hours someone works propose their starting kit and a manager can sign for more. On a starting kit, they get a fixed number of sets on day one and more as they need them. On manager approval, a manager signs for each set. Every route stops at six sets held at any one time, unless you set a different figure. Past it takes a hand-in or a coordinator’s recorded override." },

{ n: "08", t: "Catalogue and suppliers together", b: "Garments, sizes, unit costs and supplier codes live in one place. Change a price once and every future issue values correctly — past issues keep the price they were recorded at." },
{ n: "09", t: "Nothing to install", b: "It runs in the browser on the devices the room already has. Chrome and Edge — on Android and on a computer — read garment barcodes straight from the camera with nothing extra installed.

It reads the barcodes already printed on the garment labels, using a USB scanner at the counter, or your phone camera out on a ward, a wing or a clinic room in a browser that can read one — Chrome and Edge can; Safari on an iPhone or iPad cannot. Scan something it doesn’t know and you tell it once what it is; after that it just knows. Issuing, counting and receiving are all the same scan.

Collection slips, ward delivery notes and the credit slips against a manager’s approval print with the staff member, ward, sets and order reference already on them. Whoever takes the round can sign the paper, or sign on screen when you hand it over; an on-screen signature is kept with that delivery and deleted with it.
