Count continuously. Not once a year, in a panic.
Stokk's counting module turns a cheap handheld, or any phone, into a counting station. Guided counts walk staff through expected items; blind counts let them scan freely. Several people can count the same session at once, and adjustments post to your ERP when it's done.
Sits on top of your ERP. Reads stock, writes transactions, never duplicates the source of truth.
The annual stocktake is a tax nobody pays well.
Once-a-year counts mean inventory is wrong for 364 days. Spreadsheet counts get lost. Handheld terminals are expensive and break. Your stock count is the foundation of every other decision, it deserves better than a scramble.
- Guided counts: walk staff through expected items
- Blind counts: let staff scan freely, then reconcile
- Multiple staff count the same session at once
- Scan with a cheap Bluetooth scanner, or the camera in a pinch
- Submits adjustments to your ERP when finalised
Capabilities, in plain language.
Guided counts
Stokk presents an expected list per aisle, section or shelf. Staff scan and enter, discrepancies surface in real time.
Blind counts
No expected list. Scan freely, reconcile against the system at the end. Submit results to your ERP in one tap.
Multiple counters at once
Several staff count the same session in parallel, each scoped to their aisle or section. Discrepancies surface as they go.
Scanner or camera
Pair a cheap Bluetooth scanner for fast counting (EAN, UPC, Code128). The phone camera works too, in a pinch.
Continuous-count cycles
Schedule rolling counts by aisle, section, vendor or ABC class. Replace the yearly shutdown with a weekly rhythm.
ERP write-back
Adjustments submit to your ERP when the count is finalised, DK Plus today, more connectors rolling out.
Continuous counting in motion.
Several staff count one session in parallel. The cycle calendar replaces the yearly shutdown count with a weekly rhythm.
The numbers Stokk customers report after the first cycle.
After the first full ordering cycle, lost-sale events on A-classified items roughly halve.
Buyers stop building proposals from scratch. The Brief lands; they review and approve.
Stokk's per-store sizing and lateral transfers free cash that was sitting on a pallet.
Continuous counts replace the once-a-year shutdown count.
Counts that close the loop with the forecast.
Every count refreshes the live stock that the forecast and the Monday Brief depend on. Counts and decisions stop drifting from each other.
Stokk uses your count history to flag locations and SKUs with chronic shrinkage, and to weight the counting cycle toward the SKUs that actually matter.
How AI gets used here
Decisions stay explainable. Every recommendation has a written reason and a human approval step. Your data isn't used to train shared models. Claude's prompts are scoped per request.
Plays nicely with the systems you already pay for.
Common questions about this module.
What devices do we count on?
A cheap handheld with a built-in scanner is the smoothest for everyday counts, but any phone works too, and a Bluetooth scanner pairs to either. Phones are perfect for putting extra hands on the floor for the annual count.
Can several people count at once?
Yes. Multiple staff count the same session in parallel, each scoped to their aisle or section, and Stokk reconciles the totals as they go.
Can we run blind and guided counts in the same store?
Yes. Different teams can run different modes simultaneously, each scoped to their assigned aisle or section.
