Lot & Serial Tracking
Trace regulated inventory with scan prompts, quarantine flows, and audit trails.
Use case
Cycle Counting Control
Automate cycle count waves and reconcile variances before they reach the customer.
Standardize cycle counting with workflows, metrics, and coaching prompts your team can trust.
When to use cycle counting control
Use cycle counting to maintain inventory accuracy without shutting down operations for full physical counts. Count a portion of inventory each day or week.
How to implement
Follow these steps to configure cycle counting control in your warehouse.
-
1
Configure count frequency based on item velocity and value
-
2
System generates daily count lists for assigned locations
-
3
Counters scan location and item, then enter quantity found
-
4
Variances auto-route to supervisor for approval or investigation
Expected results
99%+
Inventory accuracy maintained
0
Annual shutdown counts required
10 min
Average count per location
Best practices
Lessons learned from successful implementations.
Do
- Count high-velocity items more frequently
- Investigate variances same-day while context is fresh
- Train counters on proper procedures before starting
Don't
- Adjust quantities without investigation
- Skip counts when busy - accuracy degrades quickly
- Count locations with active picking in progress
Frequently asked questions
How often should we count each location?
High-velocity and high-value items weekly. Medium-velocity monthly. Slow-movers quarterly. Configure rules to automate.
What about variance thresholds?
Set dollar and quantity thresholds. Small variances can auto-approve. Large variances require investigation.
Can we count during active picking?
Best to freeze the location during count. System can lock locations temporarily or schedule counts during low-activity periods.
