Streamline Store Inventory Cycle Counting

Make Store Inventory Highly Reliable

Store Inventory & Fulfillment

Store inventory accuracy must be highly reliable if retailers are to offer and sell store inventory to customers through any sales channel. However, many retailers need help to achieve the store inventory accuracy and clarity required to deliver a reliable omnichannel customer experience. Manhattan Active Store Inventory & Fulfillment improves the efficiency and accuracy of store inventory cycle counting, enabling retailers to offer accurate store inventory for sale across the business.

Manhattan's Active Store Inventory & Fulfillment manages inventory tracking with increased precision and efficiency. From cycle counting and adjustments to handling inventory exceptions and conducting audits, stores can consistently maintain accurate inventory records. Inventory accuracy rises through capabilities such as streamlined cycle counts executed with greater frequency, automated inventory tracking through RFID, and frequent inventory audits that quickly identify and rectify discrepancies.

Mobile-Enabled, Guided Cycle Counting

The inventory cycle counting capabilities of Manhattan Active Store Inventory & Fulfillment guide store associates and managers on their mobile devices through executing, reviewing, submitting, and approving cycle counts easily and quickly, which enables stores to perform cycle counts more frequently. 

The application's Cycle Count user interface provides an advanced process workflow to reduce effort, eliminate errors, and simplify training. A comprehensive cycle counting view improves store associate visibility into the cycle counting process with visual highlights of progress. This workflow and view help ensure associates do not accidentally submit incomplete counts, supported by the ability to scan the remaining items directly to the count interface to complete an accurate count, visually highlighting the most recently scanned item to validate progress.

Store associates can also view product details such as department, style, color, size, and images when performing store counts. This capability is handy when cycle count requests include items across different product classes.

Dynamic Exception Management

Dynamic exception management ensures store personnel can identify inventory in error and adjust immediately after validating units in the store. Adjustment processes accurately track damaged units, remove them from sellable stock, and capture which units are on display, loan, and more.

Distribution Center Accuracy With RFID

Store inventory management reaches distribution center inventory accuracy with the use of RFID. Manhattan Active Store Inventory & Fulfillment RFID support enables inventory item details to be quickly and accurately read from RFID tags and recorded, allowing stores to perform cycle counts more often and in a fraction of the time required to count using barcode scanning.

Store associates can perform a complete store inventory count using handheld RFID readers. Manhattan Active Store Inventory & Fulfillment's Cycle Count user interface gives associates a real-time view of the total expected units and progress. The application guides associates in finding missing units with helpful information such as item details, the last read time of the tag, and the last transaction. A store can define the minimum accuracy required to submit the count.
