MAIA AI replaces the single most disruptive event in your warehouse calendar with a continuous, invisible counting process — maintaining 99.5%+ accuracy without stopping operations for a single day.
Most European warehouses still rely on one annual count. Each year, that approach becomes more expensive and less effective.
Shutting down for an annual count costs manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors an average of €18,000–€60,000 in lost throughput per event.
Even after a perfect count, inventory accuracy degrades rapidly. By month 6, most warehouses operate at 85–88% accuracy — creating phantom stock and missed orders.
Discrepancies found during an annual count are untraceable — they happened months ago. There is no way to identify root cause, prevent recurrence, or recover losses.
Overtime, temporary counting teams, supervisors, and post-count data entry: the true cost of an annual stock-take is routinely 3–5× the visible labour line.
MAIA AI replaces disruptive annual stock-takes with continuous, automated cycle counting — maintaining 99.5%+ inventory accuracy without stopping warehouse operations.
A self-managing counting engine that works around your team, not instead of it.
MAIA continuously evaluates every SKU across 12 risk factors: unit value, movement velocity, historical discrepancy rate, storage conditions, and more. High-risk SKUs are counted more frequently — low-risk SKUs less so, eliminating wasted effort.
Each morning, MAIA generates a prioritised count schedule for your team. Tasks are distributed to handheld scanners or mobile devices with exact bin locations and the counts required — no planning overhead, no paper lists.
Staff scan the location barcode, count physical units, and submit. They never see the expected quantity — eliminating the temptation to confirm rather than count. Results feed directly into your WMS in real time.
Any discrepancy above tolerance immediately triggers a second blind count. If confirmed, a variance investigation workflow opens, capturing root cause before the shift closes — giving you traceable, actionable data every time.
Whether you operate one warehouse or forty locations, MAIA cycle counting adapts to your environment.
Thousands of component SKUs across multiple locations — continuous counting keeps production uninterrupted and component shortages from halting the line.
High-velocity stock movement means discrepancies arise fast. Cycle counting catches them before they affect fulfilment accuracy and customer SLAs.
SKU proliferation and seasonal spikes make annual counts unworkable. MAIA maintains accuracy through peak periods without adding headcount.
GMP and GDP require demonstrable inventory control. Cycle counting provides the continuous audit trail and documentation that regulators expect.
Fast-moving perishables need frequent verification. MAIA integrates counting with FEFO rotation checks to eliminate waste and compliance risk simultaneously.
Client SLAs demand accuracy guarantees. MAIA delivers real-time accuracy reporting per client, per location — giving you the data to back every service promise.
