Inventory accuracy
When the system says there is stock and the shelf is empty, you lose sales, overbuy and nobody trusts the numbers. We find where the difference starts and fix it in the process, not only in the adjustment.
Signs you need it
- The annual physical count always ends with large adjustments.
- Orders are cancelled or delayed because the product is not where the system says.
- Pickers search for goods in alternate locations or on the floor.
- There are emergency purchases of products that were supposedly in stock.
- Inventory adjustments are made without recording the cause.
What you get
- Initial accuracy measurement by location and by quantity
- Report on the causes of differences
- Corrected procedures for control points
- ABC cycle-count calendar
- Inventory adjustment policy and reason codes
- Accuracy indicators for monthly follow-up
How we work
- 01
Initial measurement
We count a representative sample of locations and items to learn the real accuracy by location and by quantity.
- 02
Root-cause analysis
We trace differences back to their origin: unchecked receipts, unrecorded moves, wrongly configured units of measure, returns or shrinkage.
- 03
Process correction
We adjust the control points in receiving, putaway, picking and returns, and define who can adjust inventory and with what justification.
- 04
Cycle counting
We design an ABC-based cycle-count programme and leave it running with your team, so accuracy holds over time.
Cloud warehouse management system (WMS)Frequently asked questions
Do we need a WMS to improve accuracy?
Not always. Many causes are process issues that can be fixed without changing systems. A scan-based WMS such as logisticaHQ helps sustain accuracy because it records every movement.
Does cycle counting replace the annual count?
In many cases it can reduce or replace it, depending on what your auditors accept. We review it with you and with them.
Do we have to close the warehouse for counts?
No. Cycle counts are done while the operation runs, on locations with no movement during the count.
