Run a cycle count

Last updated May 2026

A cycle count verifies a portion of your inventory at a time. Counting a little, often, keeps accuracy high without ever shutting the warehouse down.

Start a cycle count

  1. Go to Inventory → Inventory → Cycle counts.
  2. Click New count and choose its scope:
    • A location or zone
    • A category of products
    • A list of specific SKUs
  3. Assign it to a counter. It appears as a task on their mobile app.

Count on the app

The counter goes location to location, scans each item and enters the quantity found. They count what’s there — they don’t see the system number, so the count stays honest.

Review and apply

When counting finishes, Klovio shows every line where counted ≠ expected. A manager reviews and applies the corrections — see Resolve a count discrepancy.

A simple cadence

Count fast-movers and high-value SKUs often (weekly or monthly); count the slow tail a few times a year. Over a quarter you’ll have touched everything — with no full shutdown.

Tip: count first thing, before receiving and picking start. Counting a location while stock is moving through it guarantees a discrepancy that isn’t real.
