Animesha: your shop cameras, counting for you
Most shops already have cameras, and almost nobody watches them until something goes wrong. Animesha puts them to work: it counts who walks in, marks staff attendance by face, and counts goods going in and out, and all of it lands inside Stock2Track next to your bills.
Works with the IP cameras you already have. Results on Windows and on your phone.A recording tells you what happened. Animesha tells you what it means
Bills tell you who bought. They cannot tell you how many people came in and walked out without buying, or whether the evening rush is worth an extra person at the counter. Footfall from the cameras, set against the bills from the counter, answers both.
The same cameras can do two jobs that usually need separate machines: marking staff attendance without a fingerprint queue, and counting cartons coming in at the receiving door. Because Animesha is part of Stock2Track, those counts go straight into attendance, payroll and stock rather than into another app.
What the cameras do for you
Visitor counting
Counts the people who walk into the shop through the day, so you can set footfall against the number of bills and see how many visitors actually bought, hour by hour.
Staff attendance by face
The camera recognises your staff as they arrive and leave, so attendance marks itself. It flows into Stock2Track attendance, payroll and expenses. A biometric machine still connects if you already have one.
Goods counted in and out
A camera over a door or a conveyor belt counts cartons going in and coming out, so receiving and dispatch counts do not depend on someone writing them down.
Inventory you can see
Boxes with standard dimensions and colours can be identified by the cameras, so stock movement can be tracked from the cameras as well as from the counter.
How it is set up
Animesha works with the IP cameras you already have. Older analogue CCTV cameras do not connect directly and would need IP cameras in their place.
The cameras connect to a small edge server in the shop, usually a Windows PC, which processes the video and sends the counts to Stock2Track. For a simple setup, a single phone used as a camera can send its counts to Stock2Track directly, without an edge server.
Animesha is not part of the standard ₹25,000 Stock2Track licence. It is priced separately, for a nominal amount that depends on your setup, so we quote it case by case. It is already running in a store in Hyderabad.
This is where most of our work starts
What is described above is how Stock2Track does it out of the box, and for most shops that is the end of the conversation. When it is not — when your business does this one step differently and the difference matters — that part gets built. More than 200 customised versions of Stock2Track are in use, each shaped around how a business works.
How custom development worksQuestions owners ask
Can I use my existing CCTV cameras?
Yes, if they are IP cameras. Older analogue cameras need to be replaced with IP cameras before Animesha can use them.
Where do I see the numbers?
Inside Stock2Track, on the Windows counter or on your phone, next to your sales, stock and staff reports.
Do I need a separate computer?
Usually a small Windows PC in the shop acts as the edge server for the cameras. For a single camera, a phone can do the job and send counts straight to Stock2Track.
Does it replace the biometric machine?
It can. The cameras recognise staff by face, so nobody has to queue at a fingerprint reader. If you prefer to keep a biometric machine, it connects too.
Is it included in the ₹25,000 licence?
No. Animesha is an add-on with a separate, nominal price that depends on your setup. We quote it case by case.
