Run a physical inventory count with phones
Prepare a complete or cycle count in the web system, let workers scan and record physical stock in assigned areas, then submit saved batches for discrepancy review. The scan identifies the item; the worker still checks the stock and enters the quantity found.
Prepare a complete count or cycle count
An administrator defines the location, inventory groups, schedule, and whether the job covers all stock or a cycle count. Divide the warehouse into assigned areas so multiple workers can count concurrently without guessing where one person's batch ends and another begins.
Scan, count, and check the running batch
The scan identifies the available item record. The worker still checks the shelf, bin, pallet, or floor stock and enters the physical quantity found. The running batch on the phone lets the worker review and correct entries before submission.
- 01Open the assigned areaUse the location and inventory group included in the count plan.
- 02Scan the itemMatch the physical label to the available count record.
- 03Enter quantityRecord what is physically present, including zero when required.
- 04Submit the saved batchSend the reviewed mobile entries to the web system.
- 05Review discrepanciesCompare counted and expected records before the next system step.
Keep saved batches available until submission
Each worker's scanned batch stays on the phone until successful submission under the source-described workflow. That supports a pause and review before the records move to the cloud.
Teams still need a clear response for low battery, damaged labels, duplicate scans, unavailable items, late batches, and recounts. Review count progress before closing the session.
Review count reports and investigate each material difference
The source describes total inventory count, inventory count by group and location, raw batches, and discrepancy reports. Review results online or export the available data for the next step in the organization's inventory process.
A count report does not explain why a difference occurred. A manager may need a recount, transaction review, receiving check, or approval before changing the inventory record.
