Enterprise›Physical inventory

Your annual count, without the kit in a box.

Many stores run their physical inventory with a count service: rented handhelds shipped in, a host file prepared to the service's format, an upload at the end, and a report afterwards. TracStor Count gives the same team the whole job on the devices they already have, with the numbers live while they count.

Physical inventory›Step by step

The same count, step by step.

Step	A typical rented-scanner count	TracStor Count
Item file	Prepared in the service's host-file format before the count	The export your POS already makes, columns detected; or pulled straight from Square, Shopify, Clover or Lightspeed
Devices	Handhelds shipped to the store, charged, returned	Phones in a browser or the Android app, rugged handhelds, Bluetooth scanners; RFID sleds for tagged departments
Areas	Area tickets or labels for this count	Permanent area labels, NFC or RFID tags, reused every count
During the count	Progress seen when devices upload	A live board: every area, every counter, pace, codes not on file
Recounts	Often whole areas	The lines that are off, in the places they were found
Audits	Supervisor checks	Sampled by risk and value, graded against the count, failed areas recounted automatically
Report	After processing	The moment counting stops: accuracy by units, SKUs and dollars, departments, counters
Results to your system	A file to load	Posted with one click to supported POS systems, or a file in your system's layout

Count services differ, and many offer labor and analytics too. If you need a full-service count crew, ask us about working with a labor partner.

Two weeks before

Send your item file and store map. We set up the areas and print the labels from the console.

Count night

Your team counts on their phones or handhelds. Supervisors watch the live board and send recounts as lines come in off.

Before you leave

Audits graded, codes not on file resolved, report printed.
