Cycle Count

A cycle count is a method used in inventory management to regularly check and verify the quantities of items in stock. Instead of counting all inventory at once (which can be time-consuming), businesses count a small portion of their items on a rotating schedule. This helps maintain accurate records, identify discrepancies, and ensure that stock levels are correct. By doing smaller counts more frequently, companies can manage their inventory more effectively and reduce the chance of running out of items or overstocking. It ultimately supports better decision-making and operations.
