When the count ends, the numbers should already be current
In most warehouses a stock count is an event: a list is printed, the team spreads across the aisles, paper comes back, and someone keys it all in afterwards. Throughout that window the warehouse either stops or the shelves you already counted move again — either way the result is questionable from day one. The real problem is not the counting; it is the delay between counting and the system knowing about it.

What that means in practice
The warehouse waits
During the count, receiving and dispatch either stop or corrupt the count.
Results age
By the time paper reaches the system, part of what you counted has already changed.
Variances get argued
When a variance appears, nobody can tell whether it was a counting error or a recording error.
You count twice
A result nobody trusts usually means a second round.
How counting works in iyibir WMS
Counting moves off paper and onto the mobile terminal. The person counting scans at the shelf, and the record is created right there — not typed in later.

Start a count with a scope
You do not have to count the whole warehouse. Open a count by warehouse, by location, or for a single product, and narrow the scope to what you actually need.

Count with barcodes in the aisle
The team scans at the shelf on a mobile terminal. No hunting for the product, memorising codes, or finding a row on a list.

Post the result to Logo ERP
The approved count is written to Logo ERP. There is no separate data-entry round, so the gap between counting and recording disappears.
