  • 1.  Inventory Best Practices

    Posted 10-09-2018 12:39 PM

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to improve our shelter's inventory and ordering of supplies practices. I'm looking for advice on some of the following:

    • How often do you do inventory count?
    • Do you have more than 1 person doing inventory counts? If so, how do you ensure accuracy across the board and maintain a streamlined process?
    • Do you use any software to track your inventory (i.e. cubex)? If so, what works/what doesn't?
    • How do you track your inventory? (i.e. incoming/outgoing - when people check supplies out or when we get inventory delivered)
    • Do you have any SOPS/protocols/tracking spreadsheets written up on inventory tracking that you'd be open to sharing?
    • Any tips or advice to share that you’ve learned from your experiences?

    Thank you!
