What You Can Expect

We understand that time is precious to our clients, and we will work with you to find the best plan to limit disruptions to your daily operations. Whether a regular, cycled count, an annual inventory or a one-time Buy-Sell inventory, you will encounter a prompt, prepared and well-trained team of professional auditors ready to provide an accurate, honest and unbiased count.

Initial Contact
During the first contact, either through the AuditControl.com Request-a-Quote page or a phone conversation, our first steps to scheduling an inventory are to listen to your needs. We will answer any questions you may have, and will ask a few, to gather as much information on the type of inventory you need and work together to create a plan to suit your needs.
IT Information sharing
If your inventory will require scanning barcodes, (and let’s be honest, all of them do these days), we will create a scanning program designed to capture all of the information you need. From the first step to the final import into your POS system, our IT team will work with yours to ensure the data we collect will synthesize with your POS system.
Store Visit and Program Testing
Once a program has been created and tested in-house, an on-site test and walk-through will be conducted to put the program to the test. All types of barcodes will be scanned and the data collected validated to ensure accuracy of the data stream. We will also review with store management best practices in store preparation to provide you with an accurate and minimally-invasive inventory.
Inventory Scheduling
Our Scheduling Coordinator will work with you to determine the best day to conduct an inventory to avoid truck day or heavy vendor days. Your inventory will be confirmed via email and a phone call from the Crew Supervisor, if requested.
Inventory Day
The Crew Supervisor will introduce your manager to the inventory team and they will conduct a walk-through of the entire store together to learn all of the hidden spots where merchandise can be found. We will explain our process and answer any questions that arise from store personnel both before or during the inventory. As merchandise is counted, the team will place bright green tags on sections that are completed so the management team can see the progression of the inventory. The Crew Supervisor and the store manager will walk the store upon completion to ensure all merchandise has been counted.
Data Transfer
Immediately upon completion of the inventory and validation of the data, the Supervisor will create an export file for import into your POS system. The file can be imported immediately at store level or sent to your IT Team via email for processing.
