How to Get Started with This Solution
What is cycle counting?

Cycle counting is the process of physically counting items in your stock to check that your records match the actual quantity you have.
It offers a more efficient alternative to counting all your stock simultaneously during a stock take. It can be highly effective, provided you have the right equipment.
With the right tools, you can be sure of precise asset tracking, better inventory accuracy, fewer stockouts, and improved overall efficiency for your business.
What’s the best time to utilise my inventory cycle counting software?
For the best results, it is recommended to use inventory cycle count software weekly.
Cycle Counting can be done as frequently as daily depending on the size of the inventory, the type of products or how prone to damage those products are.
Establishing a consistent schedule for Cycle Counting is essential to ensure that inventory levels remain accurate and minimise the potential for errors or discrepancies.

How do you set up Orca Scan as cycle counting software?
Getting started with Orca Scan inventory cycle count software is simple:
- Sign in to Orca Scan
- Make a new sheet using the Cycle Count template
- Import your assets along with their expected quantities
- Download the Orca Scan barcode app and log in
- Open settings ⚙️ and turn on ‘continuous scan’
- Disable ‘add detail after scan’
- Scan your assets’ barcodes
You are now counting your assets. No paper, pen, or miscounting, just Orca Scan 😊
How do I make labels for my inventory items?
If your assets already have barcodes, you can scan them. For assets without barcodes, you can design, generate and print your own barcode labels using our simple web application or mobile app with just a few clicks.
Can I use a barcode scanner with Orca Scan and its cycle count solution?
Yes, Orca Scan can be used with your smartphone and various industrial barcode scanners. You can find a range of Orca Scan-compatible scanners here.
How can I see the location of each stock check with Orca Scan?
To capture the location of every barcode scanned during the count, you’ll need to add a ‘GPS Location Automatic’ data type to your sheet.
You can do this by:
- Adding a new column/field
- Select the data-type ‘GPS Location Automatic’
- Set it to hidden (no reason for the user to see this 👀)
- Save the changes
That’s it! Now, every barcode scanned will automatically record the GPS location. You can use asset maps to view the location of items scanned.
How can cycle count software help me track damaged items?
You can setup a trigger to notify you by email, in-app notification or an in-app dialogue when the condition changes to damaged. Once triggered, an email will be sent outlining the damage along with any photos and other information provided by the inspector.

Can I do stocktaking in areas with no Wi-Fi?
Orca Scan works offline, allowing you to scan assets in areas with low coverage or remote locations. Scans automatically sync to the cloud when you reconnect.
Can inventory cycle count software help me reduce counting?
While most Cycle Counts typically achieve accuracy rates of 95-98% according to statistics, Orca Scan empowers you to aim even higher. With Orca Scan, you can improve accuracy and potentially eliminate the need for Cycle Counts altogether.
Our barcode inventory system enables real-time asset tracking, which means no more retrospective counts. Using Orca Scan, you can efficiently manage stock as it moves, avoiding the inconvenience of traditional Cycle Counts.
