04 — Risk-Based Inventory Accuracy & Counting Agent

Direct counting to the highest-probability, highest-impact discrepancies.

Keeper analyzes movements, sales, returns, transfers and operational exceptions to identify the SKUs and locations most likely to carry a discrepancy. It then builds a risk-based count list, with the reason each case was selected and its likely root cause.

Count discrepancies build up silently until they surface together at the periodic count. This agent flags the highest-impact cases for verification as they emerge.

The agent's capabilities

It doesn't replace physical counting — it directs it to what matters.

The decision stays yours. The agent monitors, analyzes and prepares; you approve.

1

Anomaly detection before counting

Flags unlikely balances, sales without a recorded available balance, sudden stalls, unusual returns or adjustments, and incomplete transfers.
Delivers: a probable-discrepancy alert by SKU and location
2

Count prioritization

Ranks SKUs and locations by error probability, value, movement, expected discrepancy impact, and history of past discrepancies.
Delivers: a risk-based daily count list per location
3

Root-cause analysis by probability

Estimates the likelihood the cause is an incomplete receipt, an unclosed transfer, a unit-of-measure error, an unrecorded return, or a sync delay.
Delivers: a discrepancy-patterns report with likely causes
4

Closing the loop

Compares the signal against the actual count result, tracks detection accuracy over time, and directs remediation to the cause.
Delivers: a monthly record-accuracy and detection-accuracy score
On top of your systems

What does Keeper add on top of your current systems?

Your ERP and WMS keep Cycle Count and Spot Count plans and book balances. Keeper does not replace these; it ranks them dynamically by discrepancy probability and impact, explains the likely cause, and measures whether the signals predicted an actual discrepancy.

The agent runs on top of your current system with read-only access by default. No replacement, no writing to your systems outside defined permissions and approval paths, and no execution without your approval.

The questions we hear — answered plainly.

Does it replace the annual count or audit procedures?
Keeper does not replace your company's required physical counting or approved audit and accounting procedures. It reduces the accumulation of discrepancies and improves your team's readiness for those procedures.
How does it estimate discrepancy likelihood before a physical count?
From sales, movement, returns and transfer behavior: a SKU selling while its book balance is zero, or a sudden stop for an item shown as available. These patterns are signals that call for verification, not final proof of a discrepancy.
We have many branches and warehouses.
Each location gets its own risk-based daily count list, and management sees the accuracy picture across all locations in one report.
