Schedule, execute, and close inventory cycle counts without the spreadsheet chaos. ABC-driven frequency, automated variance calculation, and printable count sheets — ready to use today.
Step-by-step guide for setup, counting, and variance investigation. ABC classification reference included.
Enter all active SKUs with location, UOM, ABC class, cost, and usage. Count frequency assigns automatically.
Assign counters and planned dates. Track status from Scheduled through Complete. Sort by date or location.
Printable sheets for counters. System quantity is in a separate column — cover or hide before printing.
All variances summarized with dollar impact. Document root cause before making ERP adjustments.
Live metrics: completion rate, items pending, items with variance, and total variance dollar value.
Enter ABC class once — count frequency assigns automatically: Monthly, Quarterly, or Annual.
Enter counted quantity and variance, variance %, and recount flags appear instantly — no formulas to write.
Items with >2% variance are automatically flagged "RECOUNT" so nothing slips through.
Variance Report shows dollar impact (variance × unit cost) so you can prioritize investigations.
Count Sheets warn you to hide the system quantity column before printing — counters count blind for accuracy.
Item Master, Count Schedule, and Count Sheets are pre-built for 50 items. Extend as needed.
