Frequently Asked Questions
How is a warehouse audit different from a stock audit?
A stock audit focuses on verifying inventory quantities and value, while a warehouse audit also reviews the processes and controls around receiving, storing, and dispatching goods.
What records are checked in a warehouse audit?
We review goods-receipt notes, dispatch and delivery documents, stock registers, gate records, and reconciliations with the central inventory system.
Can a warehouse audit reduce losses?
Yes. By spotting weak controls, damaged or obsolete stock, and process gaps, the audit helps reduce shrinkage, errors, and operational losses.
Do you audit third-party (3PL) warehouses?
Yes. We can audit owned, leased, or third-party warehouses to confirm that stock and processes meet your standards.
How long does a warehouse audit take?
It depends on size and stock volume. We share a timeline after understanding the warehouse scope, and plan to minimise operational disruption.
