Comprehensive Stock Counting & Stocktaking Solutions
CPCON delivers professional stock counting services that help organizations maintain inventory visibility, support financial reporting, and drive operational efficiency.
Our experienced teams combine proven methodologies with advanced technology to deliver thorough, reliable inventory counts across diverse industries and facility types.
Industrial stock counts for plants and warehouses
We count stock in manufacturing plants, distribution centers and warehouses. A count can include:
- Raw materials.
- Work-in-progress (WIP).
- Finished goods.
- MRO (maintenance, repair and operations) items and spare parts.
At the end of the count, you get three deliverables:
- A count file by location.
- A variance list that compares the count to your book quantity.
- A sign-off report for your finance team.
Companies usually order an industrial stock count for one of these reasons:
- Year-end close, when the book quantity must agree with the physical stock.
- Audit observation, when your auditors watch the count.
- System go-live, when a new ERP or warehouse system needs a correct opening balance.
- Mergers and acquisitions (M&A), when a buyer or seller must confirm the stock.
Our project managers with our engineering and production department plan and do each count. CPCON has 30+ years of experience and 2,500+ clients.
