Retail Stocktaking
A clear view of stock, from shop floor to stockroom.
Stocktaking for stores, shop floors, stockrooms and high-SKU retail environments.
The approach
Count the stock that keeps your store moving.
Retail stock is rarely in one place. Products move between deliveries, back-of-house storage and display areas throughout the day. IH Stocktakers helps you define the count around that reality, with an agreed scope for the areas, products and timing that matter to your business.
Stockrooms & reserve stock
Account for products held away from the shop floor and identify any additional storage areas before work begins.
High product variety
Agree how different sizes, packs, product references and similar-looking items will be distinguished.
Before the visit
Prepare for a well-organised count.
Please keep your stock as organised as possible before our visit, grouping similar items and keeping access clear where practical. If your site has any constraints, let us know so we can plan around them.
- Share a site layout or list of stock areas.
- Identify returns, damaged goods and stock excluded from the count.
- Agree how sales, replenishment and deliveries will be handled.
Your questions
Planning your retail stocktaking.
Can the shop remain open?
Tell us your trading hours and expected stock movements. The count plan needs to account for sales and replenishment, and the practical approach is agreed during scoping.
Can you count both the shop and stockroom?
Yes, both can be included in the agreed scope. Identify every storage and display area so the requirement can be planned.
