Warehousing & distribution
Warehouse Stocktaking
An organised count across your storage locations.
Structured counts for warehouses, stock locations, pallet areas and distribution environments.
The approach
Start with locations. Keep the count controlled.
A warehouse count needs a clear location structure and an understanding of stock movement. IH Stocktakers scopes counts around your racking, floor storage, picking areas and pallet locations, so teams can work through the agreed stock in a methodical sequence.
Picking & dispatch areas
Agree how picked orders, goods awaiting dispatch and incoming stock will be treated.
Units & pack sizes
Clarify whether items are counted as individual units, cartons, cases or another agreed measure.
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.
- Provide location references and any stock lists required for the agreed method.
- Confirm safe access to all included stock; special access requirements must be discussed.
- Agree how receipts, transfers and dispatches will be tracked during the count.
Your questions
Planning your warehouse stocktaking.
Do we need to stop warehouse activity?
That depends on the site and the count scope. Explain your operational constraints so stock movements can be addressed in the agreed plan.
What about stock at height?
Highlight access requirements at enquiry stage. Safe access arrangements and any limitations must be agreed before counting starts.
