1. Introduction

Kavapp Logistics is an application for logisticians designed to simplify and monitor their work.

It minimizes the human factor, increases accuracy in managing product inventory, and ensures timely completion of transfers.

What can be done in Kavapp Logistics?

  • Control the movement of products from the warehouse to points of sale
  • Perform inventory intake
  • Track warehouse stock levels

Thanks to Kavapp Logistics, the logistician gains a clear overview of all orders to be fulfilled, as well as the current inventory levels. This helps to plan supplies effectively and avoid errors.

2. Getting started

2.1. Installing Kavapp Logistics

To get started, download the Kavapp Logistics application to your device.

Where to download?

  • Google Play (Android)
  • App Store (iOS)

After installation, launch the application and log in.

2.2. Logging into the Kavapp Logistics application

To log into the logistician’s application and start working, you need to enter the logistician’s connection code.

This code can be generated via: Kavapp Admin → Basic Information → Logisticians → Access code.

Note: for one point of sale, it is possible for multiple employees to work simultaneously from different devices on which the Kavapp Logistics application is installed. A separate Access code must be generated for each added Logistician.

It includes the following key sections:

  • Orders – displays all orders received from sales points and allows editing them.
  • Urgent orders – shows all urgent orders received from sales points.
  • Write-off – quick product write-off from any sales point upon request.
  • Active work shifts – shows which employees are currently present at their workplace. This section also allows creating cash collections or purchases.

Thanks to auto-confirmation, another employee doesn't need to be involved in the write-off process.

5.1. Availability of goods

The "Availability of goods" section allows the logistician to view all products currently available at a specific sales point. This ensures accurate control over inventory status at each sales point.

If the quantity is displayed with a "-"sign, it means that the item is in deficit. The most common causes:

  • the product was not intaken on time or not added to the inventory of the sales point, even though it was physically delivered and sold. The deficit will be shown after an inventory recount;
  • еrrors in the setup of the recipe;
  • еrrors during product purchase or write-off;
  • the product was written off even though it was not actually available in stock.

To avoid negative stock levels, we recommend regularly checking product movement and configuration accuracy.

5.2. Inventory recount

The "Inventory recount" section helps the logistician keep track of product movement at the sales point and easily adjust product quantities. This helps maintain data accuracy for inventory.

Note: From the beginning to the end of an inventory recount, certain functions in the Kavapp Seller application will be temporarily disabled: purchase, write-off, and orders.

During the recount, sales can still be processed, but receipts and product write-offs will not be synchronized with Kavapp Admin in real time. The barista will see a message indicating that the receipt was not synchronized due to the recount.

After the recount is completed: Go to the Receipts section → tap Synchronize.
All receipts processed during the recount will then be synchronized, and the sold products will be written off from the sales point’s inventory.

The quantity will be automatically subtracted from the amount specified during the last recount.
