Is Manual Inventory Counting Holding Your Warehouse Back?

Manual inventory counts disrupt warehouse operations, delay shipments and make it harder to maintain accurate inventory throughout the year.

Operational Downtime

Pausing warehouse operations for physical inventory counts delays receiving, picking, shipping, and fulfilment, reducing productivity and slowing customer orders.

Inventory Discrepancies

Without regular inventory cycle counting, small stock discrepancies go unnoticed, affecting purchasing decisions, order fulfilment, and inventory accuracy.

Clipboard Guesswork

Paper checklist and spreadsheets slow the cycle count process, making inventory verification more difficulty and increasing risk of counting errors.

The Cycle Count Process

MetaWMS transforms the cycle count process into a continuous workflow. Count tasks are automatically assigned, completed on mobile devices, and reflected in Business Central as soon as they’re verified.

Smart Count Scheduling

02

Guided Mobile Counting

Count tasks are sent directly to handheld devices, guiding warehouse staff to the right bins for faster inventory verification without including any paperwork, spreadsheets, or manual instructions.

03

Instant Inventory Updates

As soon as a count is verified, inventory records are updated instantly in Business Central. This practice makes sure that inventory accuracy is maintained all the time and eliminates manual reconciliation or delayed update issues.
