Klovio schedules small, rolling counts by zone, ABC class, or velocity — so a slice of your inventory gets verified every single day. No annual count weekend. No shutting the floor down. Just accuracy that holds, quietly, all year.
A once-a-year physical count is a fire drill: you shut the warehouse, pull people off their jobs, and find out in one painful weekend exactly how far your numbers drifted over twelve months. By then the bad decisions are already made. Cycle counting flips the model — small, constant verification that catches drift the day it starts.
The annual count means a frozen floor, a lost weekend, and a stack of overtime. And the moment you reopen, the count starts drifting all over again until next year.
Miscounts, mispicks, and shrink accumulate quietly for months. With one count a year, you discover the gap long after the trail of who, when, and why has gone cold.
When a counter sees the expected number first, they "find" it. Confirmation bias buries real variances. Without blind counts, your accuracy figure is partly a guess dressed up as a fact.
Same warehouse, same SKUs, same team. The only difference is whether accuracy is a once-a-year event or a daily habit.
Klovio builds the day's count tasks automatically, hands the counter a blind list, and reconciles every variance against the live inventory the moment a number comes back.
Set the cadence — by zone, ABC class, or velocity. Each morning Klovio generates the count tasks due today and routes them to the right counters and devices.
The handheld shows the SKU and location — never the expected quantity. The counter scans and enters what's actually on the shelf, with no number to anchor to.
Matches settle silently and refresh the live count. Mismatches open a variance with full context and spawn a recount task — before stock ever moves on a bad number.
When a counted quantity doesn't match the system, Klovio doesn't quietly overwrite it. It opens a variance — with the counter, device, location, lot, expected number, and counted number — and holds it for review before it touches your live inventory.
Not every SKU deserves the same attention. Your Class A items — the 20% of SKUs driving 80% of throughput — drift fastest and cost the most when they're wrong. Slow movers can wait.
Klovio builds the schedule around that reality. Set a cadence per ABC class, per zone, or per velocity band, and the day's count queue assembles itself. High-value, fast-moving stock gets verified weekly; the long tail gets covered without burning your team's time.
From a scheduled task on a handheld to a settled, audited number on every screen. A blind count in, a clean line item out.
20 minutes is all it takes to see Klovio's cycle counting working on your zones, your classes, your velocity.
