Overview

CycleCount supports organisations across India with structured inventory verification and stock auditing. Our teams physically verify warehouse stock, retail and showroom stock, and in-process inventories. Where required, we apply stock asset tagging and reconcile findings with ERP or WMS records. Overnight stock verification is also available to avoid disruption to operations.

Through third-party, progress, retail and warehouse audits, we help teams maintain reliable physical stock records and strengthen asset tracking across locations. This leads to cleaner inventory data, clearer audit trails and improved working capital control.

Why Outsource Stock Verification?

Physical stock verification is critical for:

Accurate financial reporting
Physical stock verification ensures that inventory values in the books match what is actually available on the floor.

Statutory & internal audit compliance
Verified stock records reduce audit observations and support smoother statutory and internal audit processes.

Inventory accuracy and process discipline
Regular verification improves record accuracy and reinforces disciplined inventory handling practices.

Reducing shrinkage & pilferage
Stock auditing help identify losses early and discourage pilferage.

Strengthening inventory governance
We manage the field work so your internal team can stay focused on operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a warehouse stock audit?

A warehouse stock audit involves physically counting and reconciling warehouse inventory against WMS and ERP records to identify shortages, excess and mismatches.

Secondary stock audits verify inventory held with distributors, dealers, and channel partners to ensure stock recorded in company books actually exists.

A progress audit is a verification carried out while operations or projects are still in progress, rather than after completion. It helps organisations review ongoing stock movement, work-in-progress (WIP) inventory, and material consumption to ensure records are being updated correctly. Progress audits allow early identification of variances, prevent accumulation of errors, and support better operational control.

Outsourcing provides independent verification, trained audit resources, and documented evidence that improves compliance while allowing internal teams to stay focused on operations.

Warehouse stock, retail and showroom stock, WIP inventory, secondary distributor stock, and plant inventories can all be physically verified.

Teams can be deployed quickly across India based on your location, volume, and audit timeline requirements.
