Our Stocktaking Process

“We have used Abacus Valuers as our business partners for the last three years to complete our retail stock valuations. We have built a great relationship with the Ops Team, and they are great at adapting to meet the needs of our business.”

Our holistic approach and unique stocktaking process allows us to adapt the way we work to our client’s needs. We offer different stocktaking services that are tailored to the size of your business.

Our 30 years of experience means we are familiar with all types of business structures, sectors and stocktaking processes undertaken.

After getting to know your business, we can identify your requirements, ensuring we deliver exactly what you need. After taking the time to identify what will work best for your business, we’ll implement a solution, communicating and advising you at every step of the way. Take a look at the process we follow.

Acknowledge

We start by getting to know you, and your business. We’ll talk about your existing processes and understand any challenges you normally face with your current stocktaking. We’ll create a formal proposal and talk you through how we work, answering any questions you may have.

Investigate

After looking at your existing processes, we begin by analysing previous stocktakes, taking notes and making recommendations along the way and communicating with you on our findings. From this we will decide the next steps.

Plan

People are at the heart of business, and our main strengths lie in the expert teams we employ to complete our stocktakes. We select the right team members with the relevant industry expertise. Once the right team is in place, we will liaise with you to create an agenda and action plan.

Solution

Our stocktake advises you at every step of the best measures to take, allowing us to adapt and perfect the way we work efficiently. We use our own software and barcode scanners, allowing us to quickly find solutions to problems we encounter mid count. After completing an audit, we create a detailed report of our findings, presenting it to you alongside our recommendations for the future.

Prevent

We've created a detailed audit process that can look at your current systems, and future requirements. Our ethos is centred around efficiency and accuracy. We’ll help you implement a system that your business can benefit and profit from year after year.

DISCOVER OUR SERVICES

“Seasalt have utilised Abacus Valuers inventory service in our warehouses in Cornwall and our 45 shops across the UK.  They are friendly, efficient and give a first class service.”

 

PHILLIP PUGH PRODUCT ACCOUNTING TEAM LEADER   SEASALT CORNWALL

“We were pleased with Abacus Valuers involvement in our stock count; they did everything to ensure that it ran as smoothly as possible, and were very flexible in tailoring their methods to our requirements. The attention to detail, efficiency and pride in their work shown by their staff fully justified Abacus Valuers insistence on the use of their own employees rather than temporary staff from an agency.”

“ISS have developed a great working relationship with Abacus Valuers over the last 10 years. As our chosen Stock Management Partners Abacus Valuers have provided us with first class external audits to assist us with running our SPAR retail stores within the Defence & Healthcare sectors. They have helped us gain far better controls which has meant that our Store Managers really focus on the crucial processes around Stock Management. They have always been flexible and honest when we have needed additional support which has been so helpful. I would not hesitate in recommending Abacus Valuers to any business with a requirement for this expertise.”

 

JIM HOWARD HEAD OF ISS RETAIL STORES   ISS DEFENCE

“In the two years of working at Yankee Candle, I have been working with Abacus Valuers and have found them to be extremely professional, obliging and adaptable. No request seems to be too much trouble often going out of their way to deliver. I once had to call on Abacus Valuers to reschedule 100 stocktakes in the space of 24 hours which they did. I would thoroughly recommend using Abacus Valuers above any other stocktaking company”.
