Coordinated operations
Multi-Site Stocktaking
Several locations. One coordinated counting approach.
Coordinated stocktaking across several locations using one consistent approach.
The approach
Keep the plan consistent across locations.
Multi-site stocktaking needs coordination as well as counting. Locations may have different layouts, stock profiles and operating hours. IH Stocktakers helps establish a shared approach while capturing the practical requirements of each site before scheduling.
A shared count brief
Agree common references, counting requirements and exception handling where practical.
Coordinated reporting
Define how site results should be separated or brought together for review.
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 the number of locations and their postcodes.
- Identify a central contact and the relevant contact at each site.
- Share preferred dates, site constraints and any common reporting deadline.
Your questions
Planning your multi-site stocktaking.
Can all sites be counted on the same day?
Share the locations and required dates so feasibility and scheduling can be reviewed. Simultaneous attendance is not assumed.
Will every site use the same method?
A consistent framework is useful, but the practical method may need to reflect differences in stock and site layout. These details are agreed before counting.
