Cura Resource Group
Our inventory control services keep your system count and your shelf count the same across all three of our warehouses, and tell you early when they start to drift. If your system says 240 units and the shelf says 226, that gap turns into a missed order, a rush reorder or a write-off.
Cura Resource Group counts, tracks, rotates and reports on your stock as part of the work we already do storing and shipping it. Unlike inventory control solutions that are software alone, ours comes with the team that counts and moves the stock. You see the same numbers we do, live, through your client login.
Accurate stock comes from routine, not from one big count a year.
We log each item into our warehouse system with a bin location when it arrives. From then on, every pick, move and return updates the count, so the record follows the product.
Our team runs cycle counts through the year, checking a slice of your stock at a time instead of shutting down for a week. When you need a full physical count for year-end or an audit, we run that too. Our guide to cycle counting explains how the method works.
We track lot and batch numbers, serial numbers and expiry dates where your products carry them. If a supplier recalls one batch, you know which orders it went to and how much sits on the shelf.
We rotate stock oldest first (FIFO) or by earliest expiry (FEFO), depending on what you sell. Food, supplements and cosmetics usually need the second rule. Most other goods use the first.
You hold one inventory, even with stock in Memphis, Riverside and Carolina, Puerto Rico. Online orders, retail orders and returns all draw on and add to the same count.
When one site runs low and another sits full, we move stock between them before the shortage reaches your customers. That keeps safety stock lower than three separate warehouses would need.
We find out why. A shortfall can come from a receiving error, a mispick, a damaged unit nobody wrote off, or theft. Each cause needs a different fix.
Our team traces the gap through the transaction history, corrects the record and tells you what happened. Repeated gaps in one product or one location point to a process problem, and we fix the process rather than adjusting the number again. Our article on inventory shrinkage covers the usual causes.
You set a minimum for each product, and we alert you when stock falls to it. We also suggest reorder quantities, so you order before the shelf empties rather than after.
If you want the math behind order sizes, our guide to economic order quantity walks through it.
Our inventory reports show what you have on hand, how long it has sat and what has stopped moving. Aging and slow-mover reports matter most: stock that sits for months costs storage every month and often ends in a markdown.
Sorting products by value also shows where to focus your counts. Our guide to ABC analysis explains the method.
Inventory control, also called stock control, is the day-to-day accuracy of what sits in the warehouse: counts, locations, tracking and rotation.
Inventory management adds the planning around it: when to reorder, how much stock to hold and where to hold it. Our inventory management services cover both, with low-stock alerts, reorder suggestions and stock moves between our three warehouses. If you are weighing inventory management outsourcing, that whole job moves to us.
We run cycle counts through the year, so we check every product on a regular rotation without stopping operations. We also run full physical counts when you need one for year-end or an audit.
Yes. We record lot and batch numbers, serial numbers and expiry dates on receipt, and we ship by earliest expiry when your products need it. That makes a recall a matter of looking up a batch, not searching the warehouse.
Yes. Your client login shows the same stock numbers our team works from, updated as goods come in and go out. You do not wait for a weekly report to know what you have. Our article on real-time inventory visibility explains why that matters.
Yes. You set a minimum level for each product, and we alert you when stock reaches it. We also suggest reorder quantities.
