Shelf Snap vs clipboard and spreadsheet counting
Both methods need someone to check the bottles on the shelf. Shelf Snap starts with a phone photo or video and a suggested count; a clipboard starts with a manual count.
| Task | Clipboard or spreadsheet | Shelf Snap Starter |
|---|---|---|
| Count bottles | Count and enter each shelf manually. | Review and correct the AI suggestion from a shelf photo or video. |
| Check bottle sizes | Read the label or check the UPC yourself. | Review suggested sizes; unreadable labels still need your check. |
| Keep a record | Keep the sheet or enter the count in a file. | Save shelf names, dates, totals, and size breakdowns in your account. |
| Plan an order | Compare the count with your par sheet. | Use stock quantities and par levels to prepare a reorder list. |
| Export | Depends on your spreadsheet or paper process. | CSV export of loaded saved counts. |
| Cost | Materials or spreadsheet software, plus counting and entry time. | $49/month for one store, plus your review time; monthly scan limits apply. |
