Create an account

To get started sign up for a Saledock account. This will give you access to the Saledock back office, POS app and stock control app.

Additional staff accounts for your POS app and stock control app are created from the Saledock back office. Guidance on how to setup POS PINs for all user types can be found in the back office help guide under the Staff Accounts section.


Download the app

To get started download the Saledock Stock Control app from the Google Play Store or Sunmi Store. You'll require a Saledock account to login to the Stock control app. The Stock control app is not available on the Essential Plan.


Login

Upon initial login you will be asked to login using your back office account details, this links the back office to your Stock Control app on that device. Next, select the store, where you'll use the device. This process is a one-time occurrence unless you uninstall then re-install the Stock Control app.

To login, tap the circular profile tile, each contains the users initials. If you've already setup your PIN from the back office, please enter your PIN. We recommend each member of staff has their own account with PIN access for security and accountability purposes.


Connect a scanner

As with the POS app, you'll be able to connect a scanner to the app. Ensure any Bluetooth scanners are paired with your device before connecting the scanner to the Stock Control app. Go to the settings view and a list of all available scanners will be displayed. Swipe down to refresh the view. Tap the scanner you wish to connect to the app and you are ready to go!


Scan mode

There are 3 ways to scan/add products within the app:

  • 1. Search for and tap a product tile

  • 2. Use a barcode scanner to scan a product

  • 3. Use the built in camera on your device

If using search, find and tap a product tile. A control will be displayed allowing you to enter the relevant stock information for that product. If using a barcode scanner, you'll see the following depending on your chosen scan mode:

  • Manual scan - A control will display the product information, quantity expected and an input field allowing you to enter the total number you have in stock.

  • Scan and go - Once you've scanned a product, the product quantity will be automatically updated by one each time the product barcode is scanned.

If using the built in camera to scan barcodes tap the icon in the top right to launch the camera control. Hover the camera over the barcode, once a barcode is recognised a snapshot image of the barcode will be taken. The camera will re-activated once the product quantity has been updated, enabling you to scan the next barcode.

To enable scan and go mode, go to Settings and enable the scan and go toggle. The scan and go mode is only available on the stock take feature.
