Counting strategy
Counts interrupt the whole operation
Large periodic stocktakes consume the team because the business cannot target risky products or locations confidently throughout the year.
Stocktaking / Pick-face replenishment / Reconciliation
Warehouse stocktake and replenishment software built around live work.
Run guided counts, investigate differences, and replenish pick faces before shortages interrupt picking—using mobile scans and location-level inventory.
Turn stock accuracy and replenishment into controlled warehouse tasks rather than periodic spreadsheet exercises disconnected from daily fulfilment.

Pick-face replenishment
Keep inventory usable between annual counts
Count what matters, explain the difference, and move stock before the pick fails.
A stocktake provides little operational value when it produces a spreadsheet of differences without explaining how they happened or what should change. Growing warehouses need targeted counts, clear ownership, controlled adjustments, and a repeatable way to investigate the locations and products creating risk.
Replenishment uses the same location-level picture in real time. The system can identify a low pick face, confirm suitable reserve stock, create the movement task, and record its completion before the next picker arrives at an empty location.
The operational problem
Inventory problems that surface too late
Reconciliation
Differences are adjusted, not explained
Changing the quantity fixes the balance but not the process, location, or movement problem that created the discrepancy.
Replenishment
Pick faces empty during live work
Reserve stock is available, but nobody receives a replenishment task until a picker reports the shortage.
Accountability
Movement ownership is unclear
Managers cannot distinguish counting error, unrecorded movement, damage, or process failure without a usable audit trail.
What can be delivered
Continuous stock accuracy and task-led replenishment
Run guided stocktakes
Assign full, location, category, product, risk-based, or cycle counts through a mobile workflow with scan and quantity controls.
- Count tasks
Reconcile differences
Compare expected and counted stock, apply reason codes, require approval, and preserve the investigation behind any adjustment.
- Difference control
Detect replenishment demand
Use pick-face thresholds, released demand, product velocity, or operational rules to identify stock that should move from reserve.
- Task creation
Confirm the stock movement
Guide the operator from reserve to pick face with source, item, quantity, destination, and completion scans.
- Location transfer

From report to action
Stock accuracy improves when counting, investigation, and movement stay connected.
The aim is not simply a more digital stock sheet. It is a controlled process that reduces the reasons stock becomes unreliable and keeps active pick locations ready for work.

Common questions
Before the workflow is scoped.
01Can the system support cycle counting?+
Yes. Count tasks can be created by schedule, location, product, category, velocity, discrepancy history, or another agreed rule so accuracy is managed continuously rather than only through an annual event.
02How are stocktake differences approved?+
The workflow can record expected and counted quantities, reason codes, notes, photos, recounts, user ownership, and manager approval before an adjustment is sent to the system of record.
03Can replenishment use live order demand?+
Yes, where the relevant source data is available. Replenishment logic can consider released picks, pick-face stock, reserve availability, minimums, product velocity, batch, and expiry rules.
04Does it support blind stock counts?+
It can. Whether the expected quantity is hidden, shown, or revealed only during reconciliation can be configured around the controls and user roles the business requires.
Warehouse workflow audit
Need better stock accuracy without stopping the warehouse to find every difference?
Review the current count process, the locations that generate the most exceptions, and how pick-face shortages are identified and resolved today.
