Goods in kind, counted in and handed out
A delivery of goods in kind is counted with the person delivering, checked for condition and expiry, tapped in on tiles — food parcels, blankets, school packs — shelved, and the donor thanked. A distribution books its day and venue, rosters volunteers, and records how many people were served.

What it does
- Incoming deliveries tapped in on tiles, checked for condition and expiry, sorted and shelved.
- The gift in kind recorded at the value the donor states, and the donor thanked.
- Distributions: the day and venue, volunteers rostered, packs picked against the tiles, handed out against the register, the count served recorded and what is left returned to the store.
- The funder told what went out to how many people.
- Where your books carry stock, a delivery is stock in at the warehouse chosen and a distribution stock out at cost.
How it works
- Count the delivery in.
- Shelve it and thank the donor.
- Plan the distribution.
- Record the count served.
The controls that protect it
- Goods are counted, never priced or rung up: their tiles have no till.
What it does not do (yet)
- A distribution keeps how many people were served, never who they were: the signed register stays on paper or with the community partner.
