Need an easier way to receive order

Good app for the most part, but the inability to look up an order number when receiving items is frustrating. It leaves us scrolling through every single order to find the appropriate one to scan.

Great app BUT need to add option to edit Brand, Category, and Tags

I love the app but developers need to add an option to edit Brand, Category, And tags during inventory

Product scan.

It’s great for using for the first time. The only problem I run into while scanning products is that I have to scroll up every single time. It would be nice to have the camera option for each individual item. Just would make it 10x easier. Thank !

Great features just one more thing..

Has most of the features I’m looking for, but it would be great if you could take a product picture to add to existing inventory rather than just new inventory. Sometimes when a new product is ordered the first time you get a chance to see it for real is when you are receiving it, so grab a quick pic there and add it to the inventory as you go.
Other than that can’t grumble!
