Inventory counting support in Tokyo: a clean count against your own sheets
We do the physical counting for your stocktake against your count sheets, and report differences to you instead of changing anything ourselves.
Counting is simple until it has to be right
Anyone can count a shelf. Counting twelve hundred locations the same way, with the same unit of count, without double-counting the carton that sits across two shelves, is the harder task. We work from your instructions on what counts as one unit, how to treat opened packs, and where to record uncertain items. When your rule is unclear, our supervisor asks before the team starts, not after.
What we count and what we leave to you
Our part is the physical count: going location by location, counting units by your method, writing or entering the number on your sheet, and marking locations as done. Valuation, accounting adjustments, system corrections and the decision about what a difference means stay with you. We do not alter your stock records, and we do not make up numbers where we cannot see an item.
Preparing the floor before the first number
A count goes quickly when the floor is ready. We can do a preparation pass first: aligning cartons so labels face out, pulling loose items back to their locations, collecting stray goods into a marked holding area and opening sealed cartons only where your method requires. This is part of the same task and priced together with the count.
Sheets, tags and your own system
Send us the count sheets, location list or a spreadsheet export before the day. If you use a handheld scanner or an app, tell us and we follow your instructions on what to scan; if paper tags are your method, we fill them as you specify. We do not install software, and we do not ask for access to your system. Whatever record you want back, a completed sheet, a photographed tag set or an entered spreadsheet, is agreed beforehand.
Second counts and difference lists
Where your method asks for a second count of locations that disagree with the records, our team does that second pass on the locations you name. At the end we give you the list of differences: location, counted quantity, your recorded quantity and any note, such as damaged, opened or missing label. The list is factual. Deciding the cause or the correction is your call.
Who decides what in a contracted count
The method, the units, the sheets and the deadline are yours. How the team is divided up, in what order the aisles are covered and how the count is checked as it goes are the supervisor’s decisions, because the supervisor is accountable for the result. That split keeps the count consistent: one person directing the team, one set of rules coming from you. The price is fixed for the count and confirmed by message before the date.
Stock we will not count
We do not count hazardous goods, temperature-controlled items, food that needs licensed handling or regulated pharmaceuticals, and we do not work at height on racking that requires machinery. If part of your site holds such goods, we tell you plainly and count around that area, leaving it for your own authorised people. Heavy pallet handling and night counts are available only if agreed separately.
Shops, warehouses, offices and back rooms
The same task looks different in each place. A shop count is mostly shelves and drawers, often after closing time or before opening. A small warehouse has bins, cartons and pallet locations. An office counts equipment and supplies by room. A back room is counted by category. In each case we ask for a floor plan or photos, so that the fixed price reflects the number of locations and the density of items.
How the fixed price is built
The price comes from the number of locations or shelves, the rough number of items per location, the method you use and the deadline, taken from your lists and photos. It is one amount for the count or for the agreed period, sent by message and confirmed before we start. If the volume turns out very different from what you described, the supervisor tells you early so that you can decide, rather than the price quietly changing.
Counting in a place that stays open
Many counts happen while a shop is trading or an office is in use. We agree a route that keeps aisles passable, cover one zone at a time and mark finished zones so that nobody restocks into a section already counted. If goods keep moving during the count, agree with us beforehand how sales, returns and deliveries are to be recorded, so that the numbers on the sheet and the numbers on the shelf can be reconciled. Where a freeze of stock movement is possible, even briefly, the count is much cleaner.
