CYCLE COUNTING
A cycle count app that turns any phone into a scanner
Full stocktakes close the store and still go wrong. Cycle counting a little every day keeps counts accurate all year. Capsultory lets staff count with the phones they already carry and posts each variance as a correction with a history.
What you get
Phone camera scanning
Scan barcodes with any phone browser on the store Wi Fi. No app to install.
USB scanners too
Wired and Bluetooth scanners work like a keyboard on the desktop app.
Variances at a glance
Each count shows the old number, the new number and the difference.
Corrections with history
Variances post as count corrections, so unexplained loss is tracked.
Count a little at a time
Count one shelf, aisle or category per session instead of the whole store.
Asset audits for IT
The same scanning runs quarterly or yearly IT asset audits.

A practical guide
Why cycle count
Counting a slice of the store each day spreads the work, finds errors sooner and avoids closing for a full stocktake.
ABC counting
Count fast moving and high value items weekly, average items monthly and slow items quarterly.
Recount big variances
A big variance is often a receiving or scanning mistake. A quick recount of that one item keeps counts honest.
