FAQ

Common Questions

How does barcode scanning work?

Use your phone camera or a dedicated Bluetooth scanner. The Tawala mobile app recognizes standard barcodes (EAN, UPC, Code128) and QR codes. You can also generate and print custom barcodes for items without them.

Can I track stock across multiple locations?

Yes! Create unlimited warehouses, stores, or locations. Each location has its own stock levels. Transfer stock between locations with full audit trail, and view consolidated reports across all locations.

Does it integrate with POS and sales?

Tawala Inventory is fully integrated with Tawala POS. Every sale automatically deducts from inventory. You can also connect it to your existing systems via our API.

How do automatic reorder alerts work?

Set minimum stock levels for each product. When stock drops below the threshold, you receive email, SMS, or push notifications. You can also enable automatic purchase order creation to send directly to your suppliers.

What's the pricing for inventory management?

Inventory management is included in all Tawala plans. Pricing is based on the number of users and locations. View full pricing Ò†’
