INV3NTORY alongside Reposs
Reposs is a well-established EPOS system used across UK convenience stores, offering reliable point-of-sale, tobacco gantry support, and a stock module that keeps counts from till sales. It does the basics well.
Dedicated stock management software goes further: it turns that data into a daily briefing, tracks waste with reasons and trends, shows live margins per line, and fires low-stock alerts before a gap appears on the shelf. INV3NTORY layers those tools on top of Reposs automatically, reading its export every 15 minutes through a small background agent on the till PC.

Where Reposs genuinely wins
Reposs is built for the realities of UK convenience retail — tobacco gantry management, age verification, multi-department VAT, and a UI that works for a busy counter. Those are till features and INV3NTORY doesn't compete with them. If your shop relies on Reposs as its EPOS, there's no need to change that.
Its stock recording does the job: counts move with sales, reorder levels can be set, and basic reports are available. For a small range and a hands-on owner, that coverage is often enough.
What the built-in stock module doesn't cover
Reposs's stock module was designed to complement the till — not to be the primary tool for managing a shop's financial health. It records what happened. INV3NTORY is built around what needs to happen next: the 7am brief, the waste log that catches £300/month before it's noticed, the dead-stock flag on the line that hasn't moved in six weeks.
Waste tracking, when done properly, usually pays for itself within weeks. Reposs records write-offs; INV3NTORY spots that your short-dated bakery lines peak in waste every Tuesday, suggests reducing your order, and tracks whether it works. That feedback loop doesn't exist in till-embedded stock tools.
INV3NTORY doesn't replace Reposs
INV3NTORY is stock management, not a till. Your Reposs setup — counter payments, gantry, receipts, staff — stays exactly as it is. The sync agent sits quietly on the till PC, picks up Reposs's export every 15 minutes, and keeps INV3NTORY current. No changes to your till, no new hardware, no downtime.
Common questions
Can I use INV3NTORY with my existing Reposs till?
Yes. INV3NTORY works alongside Reposs using a lightweight Windows agent on the till PC. Your Reposs setup is completely unchanged — the agent just reads the export file Reposs already creates.
How often does the sync happen?
The agent checks for a new export every 15 minutes. If Reposs has written a fresh file, the changes upload to INV3NTORY automatically. Between syncs your counts in INV3NTORY are accurate to the last export.
Is it worth running both systems?
Most shops find that waste tracking and the daily briefing identify more savings than the INV3NTORY subscription costs within the first month. The free 14-day trial shows you the numbers for your specific shop before you commit.
