Ownership changes
& one-time counts

We count the stock included in a business sale so buyers and sellers share an independent inventory record. We work with owners, realtors and brokers to arrange the count.

One-time and annual inventories are also available, with no recurring contract.

Plan an ownership-change count Ask about a one-time or annual count

Recurring &
multi-location inventories

Schedule counts for one store or several, with a separate report for each location.

Choose monthly, quarterly, every four months, twice-yearly, annual or custom intervals. Recurring and multi-store discounts are available.

Inventory work in practice

Examples from independently operated stores and a distribution warehouse.

Stock on the shelf, missing from PDI records

Convenience retail · Itemized scan

At an independently operated Chevron ExtraMile, products were on the shelves but showed zero on hand in PDI Enterprise.

We visited the day after the owner called, assessed the store and scheduled a scan count. The count and subsequent review revealed unposted supplier invoices and inconsistent prices, units and product descriptions.

The findings helped the owner investigate invoices and reconcile stock records.

About itemized inventories

Quarterly counts across nine stores

Central Valley · Hybrid inventory

Frequent transfers complicated stock tracking for an independent nine-store operator. Quarterly hybrid counts now give the owner separate results for reviewing each store’s balances, replenishment and transfers.

Count details

Each round takes a matter of days. The owner reviews the counts alongside sales history, transfer records and earlier inventories.

Each count reflects the store at the time it was counted. Product-level comparisons cover scanned departments only.

About recurring programs

A warehouse report in the required format

Landscaping & irrigation supplies

A distributor considering a change in business partners needed a warehouse count in a specific format. We adapted our software after an on-site assessment and returned the next day to begin counting.

Count details

Stock ranged from screws and sprinkler components to pipe. The in-house count was taking longer than expected and was not producing the required results.

The assessment established the report fields and counting method for the varied stock.

Planning your inventory

All inventory FAQs
Can I book just one inventory?

Yes. We offer one-time, annual and ownership-change counts with no recurring contract.

How soon will I receive my report?

Most clients receive a printed report at completion. Complex reports follow within 24 hours after we receive all required information.

Can you count outside normal business hours?

Yes. After-hours, overnight and weekend counts are available. Next-day scheduling may be possible depending on the location, scope and crew availability. A requested date is not a confirmed appointment.

Can you compare the count with my system?

An itemized scan inventory records product quantities that can be compared with your back-office records. Financial inventory provides department-level retail totals, not an itemized product list. We confirm your files, units and requested format before counting.

How much does an inventory cost?

Quotes are free. Pricing depends on location, scope, counting method and scheduling. Recurring and multi-store discounts are available.
