Cycle counting
Pick-line cycle counts and a rolling quarterly physical audit help us identify and investigate inventory differences.
Inventory
Know what’s in stock and ready to ship
Your team needs a stock count it can plan around. Nile uses Deposco, pick-line cycle counts, and a rolling quarterly physical audit to keep inventory records accurate.
- Deposco warehouse management system
- Lot tracking available
- One pool serving DTC, marketplace and retail
- 570,000 sq ft of ambient storage
The situation
The number in the portal stopped matching the floor
Nobody notices inventory drift on the day it starts. They notice it at a stock count, or when a customer buys something that is not there.
- Selling units you do not physically have.
- Safety stock inflated to cover for a number you do not trust.
- Counts that only happen once a year and invalidate a month of decisions.
- No lot or expiry visibility on product that needs it.
- Receiving posted late, so stock is unsellable while it sits on the floor.
- Separate inventory per channel, each with its own drift.
- No aging data, so slow stock accumulates storage cost invisibly.
The step that costs the most
From trailer to sellable
Until the last stage, it is capital you have already spent and cannot sell.
What we run
How the count is kept right
Lot tracking
Track product batches for expiry dates and recalls, including food and beverage products.
One clear view of available inventory
Every channel reads the same pool, so you can see what stock is available.
Inventory ready to use
Receiving updates help you know when new stock is ready for orders.
See what has been sitting
See what has not moved, so storage cost is a decision rather than a surprise.
Reserve stock for upcoming orders
Reserve stock for a retail PO or a launch, applied in the system rather than tracked by hand.
