For inventory operators

What driving a count involves.


You pick the unit up on the forks, drive the aisle at normal travel speed one shelf level at a time, and put it back. No clipboard, no ladder, no scissor lift, no weekend overtime count.

The run, in order


The recording unit is a camera enclosure on a pallet style frame. You pick it up on the forks like any other load, drive the aisle the way you'd drive it anyway, and put it back down when you're finished. Nobody is asking you to read a label out loud, key anything into a handheld, or square up a count sheet at the end of the shift.

If a location is empty, that gets recorded too, so nobody comes back later asking why a bay wasn't checked. And because the camera reads what's on the pallet from where you're already sitting, a top location is no different to a bottom one.

Training and what changes for you


Training happens on your own racking, during the five day deployment, alongside the calibration work. It's two to three days of driving the aisles you already know, with someone checking the recordings alongside you, not a classroom exercise. A full site count that used to mean a team spending two to three days counting by hand becomes one person driving for a shift.

The output is a list, not a mark against you. Discrepancies get flagged against the warehouse management system with the recording attached, so a wrong location or a missing pallet is something the office can check on screen, not something you get asked to re-walk and re-explain. What the office does with your recordings is continuous cycle counting, run by the inventory manager.

Questions we get asked

Before you drive it.


Do I need to do anything differently while driving?

No. You drive the aisle at your normal travel speed, one shelf level at a time. There's no slowing down to read labels and no stopping to key anything in.

Do I have to go up to check high locations?

No. The camera reads pallets and empty locations from where you're already sitting on the forklift, so there's no separate check with a ladder or a scissor lift.

How long does training take?

Two to three days, run on your own racking as part of the five day deployment, not a course somewhere else.

Does a count add hours to my shift?

A daily run is about 20 minutes and is usually driven during a break. It replaces the weekend or overtime counts a manual stocktake used to need, it doesn't add to them.
