Before using WISK, we had hesitations due to past unsuccessful experiences with other systems. We often reverted to pen and paper, which required transferring data to Excel, making the process very time-consuming.

So before using WISK, maybe some hesitations I had, we've used other systems in the past, wasn't really too successful.
When I first using WISK, I was very pleasantly surprised, it was super easy to use.
So really being certain also of my data, sending up to the bosses and the owners, making sure that everything was perfect and spending, being able to use that time in other aspects of the business. And another thing I love about WISK is that it integrates perfectly with our POS system. So I make sure that we could cash losses. Also one of the things about working in a club, we close very late, employees are tired, everything. So being able to spend less energy on doing our inventory makes a big change at the end of the day for.

The Problem
Before WISK came into the picture, Flyjin faced a lot of challenges with their inventory management. They were stuck using old-school methods like pen and paper, which meant manually recording everything and then transferring it all into Excel. It wasn’t just time-consuming—it was exhausting. This process made it harder to focus on other important parts of running the business.
On top of that, the team struggled with confidence in their inventory data. Manually tracking everything left too much room for error, making it tricky to send reliable information to the owners. They had also tried other inventory systems in the past, but those didn’t work out, which brought them right back to their tedious manual methods.
Operating a supper club that transitions into a nightclub brings unique challenges, especially with long hours. Employees were often too tired to handle such an energy-draining task as inventory. Without a proper system in place, integrating inventory with their POS wasn’t an option either, which made tracking cash losses harder than it needed to be.
These issues weren’t just inconveniences—they were holding the team back. Flyjin needed a solution that would simplify their operations, save time, and give them more accurate data to work with. WISK turned out to be exactly what they were looking for.
The Solution
WISK provided Flyjin with a solution that completely transformed their inventory process. Instead of relying on pen, paper, and Excel, the team started using WISK's scanning feature to track their inventory. It was a game-changer—simple to use, efficient, and accurate. What once took hours now became a quick and streamlined task.
One of the standout features for Flyjin was how well WISK integrated with their POS system. This allowed the team to track cash losses seamlessly, something that had been nearly impossible with their old methods. With this integration, they could ensure the numbers matched up, giving them better control over their operations.
Another major improvement was the time and energy saved. Since Flyjin operates late into the night, employees are often exhausted by the end of their shifts. WISK made inventory so straightforward that it took less effort, even during those late hours. This freed up time and energy for the team to focus on other parts of the business.
WISK also provided accurate, reliable data that could be confidently shared with the owners. It eliminated the guesswork and gave Flyjin the tools to run their operations more effectively. For a supper club that also doubles as a nightclub, this level of efficiency and accuracy made all the difference.
Thanks to WISK, Flyjin’s inventory management went from being a frustrating, time-consuming chore to a smooth and stress-free process.
Flyjin Achieves Greater Efficiency by Replacing Traditional Inventory Methods with WISK
When Maurice first began using WISK, he was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get the hang of. Coming from a background of managing inventory through tedious pen-and-paper methods, the transition to scanning everything felt like a breath of fresh air. "We started scanning everything, doing the inventory," he said, and it was a smooth process from the start. The system’s user-friendly design meant there was no steep learning curve, which made the whole team feel comfortable using it right away.
One of the things that really stood out to Maurice was how WISK helped him feel confident about the accuracy of their data. In the past, tracking inventory manually left room for errors, but with WISK, he could be certain that the numbers were right. He explained, "It was super easy to use... being certain also of my data and sending up to the bosses and the owners, making sure that everything was perfect." This confidence in data meant he could send reports without worrying about mistakes, which, in turn, helped him build trust with the owners and management.
Perhaps the most valuable outcome for Maurice and the Flyjin team was the time they saved. With the inventory process now so efficient, Maurice could "use that time in other aspects of the business." Whether it was focusing on the customer experience or refining the operations, the time saved on inventory gave them more room to improve other areas of their business. It wasn’t just about making inventory easier—it was about creating more opportunities to grow and succeed.
being able to spend less energy on doing our inventory makes a big change at the end of the day for us, for sure.
Another feature Maurice loved about WISK was how seamlessly it integrates with their POS system. This integration allowed him to "make sure that we could cash losses," making it easier to reconcile sales and inventory without having to do everything manually. With the POS system connected to WISK, it was like the two systems were working together, giving the team a more accurate picture of their operations.
For Maurice and the Flyjin team, working in a club meant late nights, and by the end of a shift, everyone was often "very tired." Handling inventory at that point could be draining, especially after long hours. But with WISK, the task was much simpler and required less energy. "Spending less energy on doing our inventory makes a big change at the end of the day," Maurice said. This was a huge benefit because it meant the staff could wrap up their night quickly and still have energy for other important tasks. The simplicity of WISK not only saved time but also made the team’s work more manageable, which was crucial for keeping everything running smoothly in a late-night environment.

Massimo, General Manager @ Lucille’s
“It took a lot less time to get everyone on board. They were all open for it because it's an app. They could use their phone. You know, at the touch of our phones, we have everything available. We just scan the item, we go through it all in a sequence, so it's very well organized, everything's well counted, and I think it just really facilitates the time efficiency of everything.”
Loyd, Owner @ L’infâme Tittle Tattle and La Gargamelle in Montreal
Before WISK, honestly, inventory was kind of a drag. We had this huge Excel sheet, we have over a hundred products in here, so it's kind of hard to just do inventories. It used to take us about one or two hours every week. Twice a week actually, it was not very accurate with our Excel sheet, but now it takes us like 20 minutes and we're done. And I was kind of surprised it was so user-friendly.
