The software
Stocktaking software built for hospitality
Apex is stocktaking software with a stocktaker behind it: your team counts on phones or tablets, several people at once, while we manage prices, purchases and reporting from our office. Purpose-built for pubs, hotels and restaurants — not adapted from a warehouse tool.
Count on any phone or tablet
No paper sheets, no special hardware. Your team counts on their own phones or a venue tablet, and every entry syncs live to the same stocktake.
Several people counting at once
One login per site and department, used by the whole team at the same time — one on the bar, one in the keg room, one in the kitchen. A count that took one person three hours is done in a fraction of the time.
Voice counting
Say the product and the quantity and the app does the rest — built for cold cellars, gloved hands and one free hand holding a keg coupler.
Purchases entered for you
Every delivery invoice is entered line by line with supplier and reference, so cost creep, price rises and duplicate invoices show up before they hit your GP.
Reports that explain themselves
GP against theoretical, variance at cost and retail, ranked worst offenders, run-rate and weeks-of-stock, labour versus sales and weekly flash reports — first drafts ready the moment the count finishes.
Your data, portable
Every report downloads as a branded PDF or a clean Excel workbook, and your client portal keeps every past count and report in one place.
Why not a generic inventory app?
Built for hospitality, not warehouses
Generic inventory software counts boxes. Apex counts 19.72 measures in a 70cl spirit, 88 pints in a 50L keg, kilos of prepped beef and litres of cream — with the conversions already in the system. Draught, spirits, wine, packaged beer, cocktails and food all behave the way a bar or kitchen actually works.
Software with a stocktaker behind it
Most stocktaking apps hand you the tool and wish you luck. With Apex, working stocktakers set up your product list and prices, check every count as it comes in, and produce the reports. You get the speed of software without being left alone with it.
It pays for itself in purchasing
Because invoices are checked line by line and your basket is compared across suppliers, the software routinely finds price creep and overcharges worth more than the cost of the service. A euro saved on purchasing drops straight to your bottom line.
