Statistical Inventory Sampling
Full inventory counts are expensive and create considerable personnel costs and effort every year. An alternative to a full inventory count is the sampling method which is legally recognized by auditors and financial authorities. Using this method, companies achieve high saving potentials without any impact on their operative processes.
Stock Taking During COVID-19 Pandemic Inventory sampling can be a solution
Inventory sampling can be done by single, individually counting employees.
The next stock taking is up, but restrictions and health risks due to the COVID-19 pandemic prevent the stock taking from being performed as usual, as a concentrated action with a large number of employees involved.
In this case, inventory sampling can be the ideal solution for you. It reduces the actual effort to a minimum and is ready to use within a few days, thanks to a cloud solution.
Thus, despite the currently uncertain situation and even temporary staff shortages, the inventory sampling method will provide you with meaningful results for your balance.
Overview
Efficient, precise and, above all, cost-efficient - this is how an ideal annual inventory count is imagined by companies. Although the sampling-type inventory has been a legal option for over 40 years, many companies still perform their inventory in a conventional way, and this despite the fact that inventory sampling is more cost-efficient compared to the full inventory count.
