How we work
CE starts with a defined selection of items, locations and transactions. We compare available inventory records with physical checks carried out under your site's procedures, then trace selected differences through receiving, movements, storage and picking. The review separates observed evidence from possible causes, so the next action is clear. Together, we define targeted checks, counting instructions and responsibility for resolving discrepancies. An agreed follow-up sample can show whether those controls are being used and whether the same problems recur. This is an operational review of the agreed sample. It does not certify the accuracy or financial value of your entire inventory.
Observe the work, define the problem and owner, trial the agreed change, then hand over usable controls and review the evidence.
What you receive
- A discrepancy log linking sampled items and locations to supporting evidence.
- A prioritized action list and agreed counting or transaction checks, with named owners.
- A follow-up check using agreed definitions and a clearly recorded sample.

What to prepare
Choose the inventory zone and name the person responsible for its records. We agree which stock records, locations and recent transactions are needed, how physical checks can be performed safely, and who can explain the differences. Share only a short description in the inquiry; we agree a secure method for operational records before review.
Time from your team
Your team provides access, explains the selected transactions, supports agreed physical checks and reviews the findings. Record readiness, access and the follow-up sample affect the schedule. The proposal separates elapsed project time from the time required from your staff.
Fee and schedule before you commit
The published fixed price applies to the listed scope. Before work begins, a written proposal confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, schedule and total. The proposal also confirms the time needed from your team, access arrangements and review points. A wider sample, another site or additional work receives a separate quote.
Where and how the work happens
CE is based in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and serves U.S. operations. Tell us your location and whether the work needs on-site observation. We agree whether on-site work, remote review or a combination is suitable, including availability, site access and any travel arrangements, before work begins.
