πŸ“ Want to Do a Paper-Based Inventory Count? Here’s Why Cycle Counts Are a Better Option

It’s totally understandable to want a printed inventory list when double-checking stock, but if your goal is to complete a full count, using a paper checklist may not be the most efficient method.

Yes, you can download your inventory list as an Excel file and print it, but keep in mind:

πŸ” Any updates would need to be manually entered back into Ply afterward.

That’s why we recommend using Cycle Counts, which update your stock in real time as you go.


πŸ“€ How to Export Your Inventory (If You Still Want to Print It)

Follow these steps to download a stock list from a specific location:

Step 1

Go to the desired Stock Location (e.g. warehouse, truck, or consignment location).
