Roam Version 2 - Setup for Stock Image Capture

Roam Version 2 - Setup for Stock Image Capture

In Retailer Roam, we have added the ability to quickly take a photo of a stock item, remove the background (if you want), then have the images automatically uploaded and attached to the stock item in Retailer. This makes the process of gathering images for your stock item a breeze. This is a free Roam service and that is available to supported or Rental customers.  

Roam can also be setup to perform sales and stocktakes, using data from your Retailer software.
This requires a subscription for Roam. You can sign up by following the steps HERE.
