Inventory Counting and Fixed Asset Registration

Professional accuracy that makes your financial and operational data reliable

Inventory accuracy underpins the financial and operational performance of any business. Gaps between physical and book balances translate directly into financial losses, poor purchasing decisions and delays in fulfilling customer orders.

United Integrated Logistics provides a complete professional service as an independent, impartial third party for counting goods and inventory. We deliver an accurate, structured and fast count that exposes operational errors before they turn into financial losses, protects you against waste and theft, and gives you reliable data to support your strategic decisions.

"Don't let stock disappear between the numbers." With us, counting is not a burden — it is a strategic tool for your success.

Our methodology for managing and executing counts

1. Planning and preparation (before the count)

• Preparing the working environment: clear operational guidance for setting up the warehouse and readying goods for a clean count.
• Zoning: dividing the warehouse into intelligent count zones based on the volume, nature and classification of items.
• Mapping movement routes: defining the counting method, assigning responsibilities and setting a strict movement plan that guarantees full coverage.

2. Execution and on-site supervision (during the count)

• Direct oversight: United Integrated supervisors monitor the counting teams on site in real time.
• Tagging: marking goods once counted to guarantee full coverage and prevent double counting.
• Immediate resolution: spotting, reporting and resolving any deviations or obstacles on the spot, without disrupting operations.

3. Reporting and intelligent analysis (after the count)

• Final reconciliation: detailed, classified final listings of every item counted.
• Inventory Discrepancy Report: a precise report setting out the gaps between physical and book balances.
• Advisory recommendations: recommendations and solutions to strengthen inventory controls and raise operational efficiency going forward.

The types of count we cover

Annual Wall-to-Wall Inventory

Our most requested service, timed with the financial year end and a mandatory step in closing the accounts, with a direct impact on the financial statements. It involves freezing stock movement (where possible) and counting every item "wall to wall" with exacting accuracy, with an immediate recount of any item showing a variance.

Cycle Counting

Keeps inventory data accurate throughout the year without halting your daily operations. We count selected items — at random or by ABC classification — on a daily, weekly or monthly cycle, concentrating on high-value or fast-moving goods.

Spot and Surprise Audits

A rigorous control tool carried out without prior notice to warehouse staff, verifying the balances of specific items and acting as a strong deterrent against theft, waste and internal manipulation.

Fixed asset counting and registration

Counting and tagging fixed assets, reconciling them against the accounting asset register, and issuing a report on variances and on any missing or unregistered assets.
