After you have completed all of the relevant stocktake preparation tasks you are ready to begin counting the stock. There are 2 methods of counting:

  • Using the Minfos App
  • By pen and paper on printed stocktake sheets

Regardless of which method you choose, there are several tips to help you enjoy a hassle free stocktake period:

  • Count each shelf from left to right
  • Count each bay or section from top to bottom
  • Plan a way of marking where you are up to if you are interrupted
  • Ensure you also check and count products in the storeroom and scripts that are waiting at the till
  • If an order arrives while you are in the middle of stocktaking a location, wait until you have finished the location before you complete and put away the order
