Count what matters, when it matters.
Cycle count keeps your stock numbers honest without ever closing the warehouse. Schedule recurring counts by location, product, lot, or ABC class. Run quick ad-hoc counts in seconds. Catch variances, approve recounts, and keep an audit trail of every adjustment.
From planning to approval — one cycle count workspace
Plans, sessions, quick counts, and audit trail in a single place. Every count tied to a snapshot, every variance traceable.
Recurring count plans
Define plans that run on a schedule — every N days, by ABC class, by location, product, barcode, lot, or material. Auto-schedule the next session, set a count window, and decide whether the system pre-creates sessions for you.
Quick ad-hoc counts
Need to count two bins right now? Start a Quick Count, pick the locations, and create a session in seconds. Uses your default count settings so the team can start scanning immediately.

Session dashboard with progress
Live view of every active and past session — total lines, counted, pending, variance items, and value impact. Progress bar per location so you always know where the team is.
Blind counting & freeze modes
Hide system quantities from counters to remove bias, and freeze stock movements during the count window so your snapshot stays trustworthy from start to finish.
Variance, recount & auto-approve
Set thresholds in percent: anything inside auto-approves, anything past your recount threshold goes to a queue. Bulk-approve, push lines back for recount, and watch value impact in real time.

How a cycle count session runs
From a plan trigger to an approved adjustment — five steps, fully tracked.
Plan or quick-start
Pick a recurring plan or launch a Quick Count for ad-hoc locations
Snapshot system qty
Otiox freezes the expected quantity at the moment the session opens
Count on the floor
Operators count by scanning or typing, optionally blind to system qty
Review variance

Approve or recount
Auto-approve small variances, queue the rest for a recount, post adjustments
Inventory accuracy without shutting the warehouse
Cycle counting replaces the once-a-year stock take with small, scheduled counts that catch shrinkage early and keep system qty trustworthy every day of the year.
