Hi everyone   I am running into a challenge I am sure some of you can relate to tracking product expiration dates in Square. As many of you know Square does not offer native support for expiration tracking and I am curious how other retailers are managing this In the past I have tried a few different approaches • Manual checks reviewing all 2000 plus items in store each month which is time consuming and not scalable • Sticker labelling adding month and year stickers to items at the time of receipt • Custom database at a previous job we logged expiry dates at the time of receiving into a third party system and I wish Square had a similar option to capture expirations during receiving or through purchase orders   Right now I am struggling to find an efficient workflow within the Square ecosystem and would love to hear how others are handling this. Are you using external tools spreadsheets integrations or just sticking with pen and paper   Any ideas or workarounds would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance ... View more

If you're a visionary, do you touch numbers or do you have another professional for that? ... View more
