Warehouse Star - Inventory Counting

Web & Mobile App Inventory Counting

Transparency, security, and a precise planning foundation: With the Inventory Counting app, the tedious inventory process will no longer be a hassle. (The web app is required for using the mobile app.)

Streamlined Processes:

With the desktop app, you can create inventory orders and effortlessly conduct the inventory count using the mobile app. This turns the inventory process into child's play.

Effective Planning:

No more stress as the balance sheet date approaches. With the desktop app, you establish a valid foundation for future inventories in advance.

Reduced Error Sources:

Avoid errors arising from manually transcribing count lists. The mobile app ensures counts are directly transferred into the system.

Fewer Inventory Discrepancies:

Utilize the integrated Bitergo WMS solution to ensure changes appear immediately in your Warehouse Management System. Benefit from seamless integration with other apps such as Incoming Goods, Outgoing Goods, Storage, or Corrections.

The following Types of Inventory are supported by the App:

Location-based Inventory (standard) with the option to limit counting areas (e.g., for a specific warehouse section).
ocation-based Inventory with Empty Location Counting, allowing simultaneous verification of empty locations. This enables setting the date of the last count.
Item-based Inventory, where the stock for a single item is checked per count list. However, in this case, the date of the last count is set on the item master data.

Initiating Inventory Counts

The system automatically assigns unique inventory numbers. To facilitate identification, you can also add a description or a note.
Select a counting method (Location-based Inventory with/without Empty Location Counting; Item-based Inventory).
If multiple clients are managed in the system, you can manually select them when creating the inventory order.
Determine what should be counted: Create count lists and set any necessary locks.

Conducting Inventory Counts

Effortless recording via handheld device and the mobile app:

Upon launching the mobile app, you'll see all authorized inventory counts.
The locations and the handling unit containing the items to be counted (along with the item number) will be displayed.
For Location-based Inventory with empty locations, the user must specify if a location reported as empty in the system is indeed devoid of goods.
For Item-based counting, if available in the system, an image of the respective item will be displayed.

In addition to or in place of the mobile app, a traditional inventory using pen and paper is also possible: Print clear count lists and transfer the results into the system after counting.

Upon completion of each inventory, you will receive a clear overview of:
