The CountGrid Blog
Guides for teams that count.
Practical, no-fluff playbooks on getting inventory right — reorder points, counts, locations, expiration, and scanning — written by the team that builds the software.

How to Stop Inventory Expiring Before You Use It
Every expired item announced its deadline the day it arrived. Track dates at the lot level, pick first-expired-first-out, and set alerts with enough lead time to act.
How to Create a QR Inventory System
The most expensive part of inventory management is the typing. Labels on your items, bins, and locations — plus the phone in your pocket — turn receive, move, and count into one scan each.
Reading is good. Counting is better.
