For small and medium-sized jewellery businesses, managing inventory can seem difficult. However, using effective practices like cycle counting can add great value. Cycle counting means checking a small part of your inventory regularly instead of counting everything at once. This helps keep your stock records accurate, reduces workload, prevents stock shortages, and prepares businesses for growth. The five steps below show how jewellery businesses can use cycle counting effectively with SUNFACET ERP.
Step 1:
Cycle counting is more than a basic inventory check. It is a smart practice that saves time and reduces costly mistakes. Unlike yearly full counts, cycle counting keeps inventory records updated in real-time. This approach reduces errors, prevents shortages, and keeps orders on track. This is especially important in the jewellery business, where customers rely on stock availability.
Step 2:
Not all items need the same level of attention. An ABC classification system helps prioritise high-value and frequently sold items. SUNFACET ERP automatically classify items into Class A (most valuable), Class B, and Class C categories. This makes it easy to count high-value items more often, helping manage inventory effectively.
Step 3:
SUNFACET ERP makes cycle counting simple by removing manual work. The built-in cycle counting tools let you automate schedules, complete counts quickly, and get accurate updates. With tools like barcode scanning and real-time data, the ERP system helps jewellery businesses keep track of stock accurately, without heavy manual work.
Step 4:
A well-trained team is essential for accurate cycle counting. Staff should know how to use SUNFACET ERP and understand the importance of accuracy in inventory. Regular training and best practices can help keep high standards and reduce errors. Cross-training staff also allows counts to continue smoothly, even when key team members are unavailable.
Step 5:
Key performance indicators (KPIs), like inventory accuracy, shrinkage rates, and count schedules, are vital for measuring your cycle counting success. With SUNFACET ERP, you can track these KPIs in real-time, making it easy to adjust processes. Focusing on these KPIs helps improve inventory management and boosts overall efficiency.
