Every year, thousands of stone yards in India shut down for 'Stock Taking Week'. Sales stop. Customers are turned away. The staff counts every slab manually.
It's a painful, revenue-losing tradition. But is it necessary?
The Cost of "Closed for Audit"
Imagine McDonald's closing for a week to count burgers. They don't. They count while they work. This is called Rolling Inventory.
When you close for an annual audit, you lose:
- Revenue: 7 days of zero sales.
- Momentum: Breaking the flow of daily business.
- Accuracy: Rushing to count 50,000 sq ft in a week often leads to mistakes.
Enter Rolling Inventory
Rolling inventory means counting a small section of your yard every day (e.g., Row A on Monday, Row B on Tuesday). By the end of the month, you've counted the whole yard without stopping operations.
How Kishangarhia Enables This
Our app selects 10 random pallets for your supervisor to verify each morning. It takes 15 minutes.
If the physical count matches the system, great. If not, the variance is flagged immediately—not 12 months later.
"You don't lose weight by weighing yourself once a year. You don't secure inventory by counting it once a year."
The Verdict
Annual audits are reactive ("What did we lose last year?"). Rolling audits are proactive ("Is our stock correct today?").
Switch to rolling counts and gain an extra week of sales every year.
