We currently conduct physical inventories in-house. Why do we need an inventory counting service?
Allied Inventory can bring value to the inventory process in these ways:
- Greater accuracy and time savings vs. internal counts
- More objective than an internal count
- More productive than an internal count lets your staff focus on the tasks they do best
- Less disruptive than internal counts, our trained counting staff can work seamlessly around your schedule
How can an outside service be more accurate than our own people?
Because taking inventory is our full time job, we have developed an expertise with the process. Our people are trained extensively in inventory best practices and methodology, so that we can deliver greater accuracy and speed.
How can using an inventory counting service be more cost effective than using our own people?
Doing your own inventory may be more expensive than you think. Lost production time is only one of the hidden costs. Because we bring our own specially trained staff, yours can focus on what they do best. You get greater accuracy while maximizing your resources. That’s value.

Because in most industries there is a lot of crossover among parts, chances are our staff is familiar with your inventory. What really speeds up the process and produces accurate results is the methodology that we have developed in over 70 years of experience.
What steps does Allied Inventory take to ensure quality service?
We train our staff, use on-site supervision and follow a methodology that from planning to execution ensures accurate and efficient counts.
