How does a cycle count work, and what role does it play in inventory management?

Cycle counting is the process of regularly auditing a select portion of inventory rather than conducting a full inventory count. This approach reduces operational interruptions and enables continuous inventory accuracy without the need for a complete shutdown.

How often should cycle counts be performed?

Frequency depends on your inventory volume, turnover rate, and business needs. Common schedules include daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly counts, often based on item value or movement.

What are the benefits of cycle counting?

Benefits include maintaining inventory accuracy year-round, reducing shrinkage and misplacements, supporting audit readiness, and minimizing operational downtime compared to full counts.

How are cycle counts conducted by the Datascan team?

Our cycle count service can typically be completed in three ways:

Scanner + Cloud Platform: Using our proprietary scanner technology integrated with a cloud-based monitoring system.
Client WMS Integration: Partnering with the client to use their existing warehouse management system and technology counting method.
Pen & Paper: Following the client’s preferred manual process, which is often the most common approach in warehouse environments.
