Frequently asked questions

Inventory questions, answered clearly.

A practical overview of Lungisa’s services, platform and reporting approach.

What does Lungisa Inventory Management do?

Lungisa provides independent inventory audits, stock control reporting and inventory intelligence for hospitality, retail and multi-location businesses. Services are delivered through BevAudit, FoodAudit and RetailAudit and reported through Lungisa Cloud.

Do you only count stock?

No. Physical counting is the verification layer. Lungisa also reconciles available purchasing, sales, recipe and stock-movement information to produce variance, usage, cost and other management reports.

What is BevAudit?

BevAudit is Lungisa’s beverage inventory service for bars, restaurants, hotels and hospitality groups. It supports full and open bottle counting, purchase and sales reconciliation, variance analysis, par-level reporting and related beverage inventory controls.

What is FoodAudit?

FoodAudit is Lungisa’s food inventory and food-cost control service. It supports recipe-linked inventory, preparation and portion items, purchasing, counts and food-related variance and cost reporting.

What is RetailAudit?

RetailAudit is designed for high-SKU retail, convenience, stockroom and warehouse environments, including barcode-driven counting and product-level discrepancy reporting.

Can Head Office view multiple venues?

Yes. Authorised multi-location and Head Office users can be given consolidated visibility while retaining venue-level reporting detail and finalised-period history.

Do you integrate with POS systems?

POS data connections are in development. Lungisa already supports sales-data imports and is working toward client-authorised integrations with supported point-of-sale environments.

Does Lungisa use AI?

AI-assisted inventory intelligence is part of the future product direction, focused on trend summaries, exception interpretation and management attention cues. It is not currently advertised as a production feature.

Can I compare supplier costs?

Yes. Supplier Comparison is an available reporting capability. Broader supplier profiles, catalogue updates, procurement and ordering workflows are in development.

Where does Lungisa operate?

Lungisa is based in Johannesburg, Gauteng and supports hospitality and retail operations in South Africa, including multi-location requirements.

Is Lungisa open to franchise or area partnership enquiries?
