Quotes
"Itemcount is the way we define it. It is the most user-friendly inventory and sales management system. We have a POS and we're here to make sure that you earn more because you have the correct inventory count. No labis, no kulang." - JC Castañeda
"I realized quickly that I was still equipped to handle a lot of things. So that's where the idea came in for me to study business, because there was really a lack of mentors in our company so I really had to do it formally, so to speak." - Alex Gervacio
