Inventory doesn’t have to be a resource hog: With sample inventory, companies save up to 95% of counting effort – fast, legally compliant, and digital. A sample inventory reduces effort and costs.
What is a Sample Inventory – and Why is it Becoming Increasingly Relevant?
Sample inventory is a legally recognized procedure for warehouse valuation that is not based on complete counting. Instead of manually recording thousands of items, only a representative portion is counted. This not only saves time but also resources – especially for medium-sized mechanical engineering companies whose warehouses are complex and value-intensive.
Legally Compliant Sample Inventory According to HGB § 241
The legal basis creates trust: According to the German Commercial Code (§ 241 HGB), the application of mathematical-statistical methods is permitted, provided they are carried out properly. The software solution GESTIN fulfills exactly these requirements, including certification by an internationally active auditing firm.
