For inventory managers
Spend your week on root cause, not recounting.
Sentispec Inventory reconciles every pallet against your WMS automatically and holds 99%+ accuracy all year, so your job moves from running counts to understanding why the discrepancies keep happening.
Continuous counting, not an annual event
An annual wall to wall count tells you how wrong the book was on one day of the year. Continuous cycle counting replaces that with counts that run through the year, so a location that has drifted gets caught in weeks, not at the next scheduled shutdown. A run costs 20 minutes for 500 to 1,000 pallets rather than a day of labour. That turns how often a location gets counted by its ABC class from a resourcing trade off into a policy you set, not one the headcount sets for you.
Splitting the difference four ways is what makes root cause work possible at all. Knowing you are a few percent out tells you nothing. Knowing whether the problem is put away, picking, a system write that never happened or a pallet that is genuinely gone tells you where to look, and the causes behind each type are catalogued in the guide to stock discrepancy causes.
What it does to write offs
Write offs fall for the same reason discrepancies fall: you're finding the pallet that's in the wrong bay before it ages out as a loss, and you're catching a system error before it compounds across a quarter of picks. On a medium warehouse, audit related labour drops from roughly €50,000 to €5,000 and lost pallet search from €100,000 to €200,000 down to €10,000 to €20,000, figures set out in full on the pricing page. The accuracy dashboard gives you the trend by location and by discrepancy type, live, so you can see whether a change to a picking process actually worked instead of waiting for the next count to tell you.
Questions we get asked
Before you change how you count.
Can we count different locations at different frequencies?
Yes. Because a run is 20 minutes for 500 to 1,000 pallets rather than a scheduled shutdown, high value or fast moving ABC classes can be counted far more often than slow moving stock, without the resourcing trade off a manual cycle count forces.
How do we know why a discrepancy happened, not just that it did?
Every discrepancy is one of four reported types: wrong location, not in the WMS, empty when stock is expected, or missing from the recording, and each one links to the recording that found it, so you can see the pallet or the empty bay directly.
Does this replace our annual count entirely?
Most sites move from one annual wall to wall count to continuous cycle counting that holds 99%+ accuracy all year, though a full wall to wall run stays available whenever you want a complete refresh.
Where do I see accuracy over time?
The accuracy dashboard is reachable from any device and shows real time accuracy, discrepancy alerts and audit ready reports, so it doesn't wait for the next scheduled count to tell you where you stand. How the number is calculated is covered on the accuracy page.
Sector specific constraints are covered by industry, and every job the recording unit does is written up separately. One global 3PL measured a 6 to 8% productivity improvement across its Northern European warehouses, within a general range of 5 to 10%, alongside a 5 to 10% labour cost reduction.
