From walk-in to posted usage
- 01
Build the template
Order items the way the shelves are actually walked, per storage area and location, so counting follows the room.
- 02
Count on a phone
Staff count offline with pack-size hints and last-count reference; supervisors see progress in real time.
- 03
Review, then post
Outliers surface for review before posting. Approved counts write to the ledger and drive period usage.
A bad count poisons every number downstream
Inventory is the input to usage, usage is the input to variance, and variance is the input to every decision. Margin protects that input with structure instead of trust.
- Unit-of-measure conversions validated before they can distort value
- Count completeness tracked per storage area
- Late or skipped counts flagged against the period
- Every posted movement traceable to a person and time
