"WSUK had us live in 36 hours and absorbed our Q4 peak without a blip. The rate card was exactly what we paid — no surprise charges at month-end."
Most businesses do not have a stock problem, they have a stock number problem. Perpetual cycle counting, investigated variances and reporting by SKU — so the figure on your screen is the figure on the shelf.
WSUK manages inventory from a Golden Triangle warehouse: every unit held by location and picked to barcode, perpetual cycle counting rather than one annual stocktake, variances investigated and reported rather than absorbed, and min/max alerts so you reorder before you run out. Stock reporting by SKU, batch and expiry. Cycle counting included on managed accounts, reporting and integration from £150 per week. No setup fee, monthly rolling, live in 7–10 working days.
Inventory accuracy is not a warehouse vanity metric. It is what decides whether you oversell, over-order, or discover a problem at year end.
A rolling programme that counts fast-moving lines often and everything periodically — instead of one disruptive annual stocktake that tells you about last year.
When a count disagrees with the system we find out why — mis-pick, mis-receipt, damage, theft — because the reason is worth more than the adjustment.
Min/max levels set with you and alerted against, plus SKU, batch and expiry reporting so slow movers and short-dated stock surface early.
An inaccurate stock number causes overselling, emergency freight, dead capital and a year-end write-off nobody budgeted for. All of it is cheaper to prevent than to discover.
From goods-in to a number you can rely on.
Everything is received against your purchase order, put away to a specific location and counted in — which is where most accuracy is won or lost.
A rolling cycle-count programme runs against the live operation, weighted so your fastest-moving SKUs are checked most often.
SKU, batch and expiry reporting, variance causes, ageing and min/max alerts — on a schedule that suits how you buy.
Inventory management is included on managed fulfilment accounts and priced separately where we hold stock only. Short-term rate card for monthly rolling; long-term contract rates tier down with pallet volume.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Located storage with perpetual cycle counting.
A complete wall-to-wall count where you need one.
Live stock pushed to your systems and channels.
Indicative ranges based on standard requirements. Bespoke / hazardous / temperature-controlled goods are quoted separately. Get an exact quote for your volumes →
Operating from the M1 / M6 corridor — central enough that a physical check on a disputed SKU is a short drive, not a day out.
Inventory management is the discipline of keeping the recorded stock figure and the physical stock figure the same, and of knowing enough about what you hold to make decisions with it. In a warehouse that means three things: every unit has a location and is picked against a barcode rather than from memory; counting happens continuously rather than once a year; and when a count disagrees with the system, somebody finds out why. That last point is where most operations quietly fail — the adjustment gets posted, the number is corrected, and the cause repeats next month. The cost of getting it wrong is rarely visible as a single number. It shows up as cancelled marketplace orders when you oversell, as emergency air freight when a line runs out unexpectedly, as capital sitting in SKUs nobody has looked at for a year, and as a write-off at year end that nobody budgeted for. WSUK runs located storage with perpetual cycle counting, investigates variance by cause, and reports by SKU, batch and expiry — so the number on your screen is one you can trade on.

Everything you need to know about inventory management at WSUK.
Located storage, barcode-verified picking, a perpetual cycle-counting programme, variance investigation with causes recorded, and reporting by SKU, batch and expiry — plus min/max reorder alerts set with you.
Continuously, on a rolling programme weighted by velocity — your fastest-moving lines are checked most often and everything is covered periodically. That is more useful than one annual stocktake, and it does not require shutting the operation down.
We investigate before adjusting. The variance is recorded with a cause — mis-pick, mis-receipt, damage, short delivery — and the adjustment is authorised by you rather than posted automatically. The cause report is usually worth more than the correction.
Yes — batch, lot and expiry are tracked where your products need it, with short-dated stock flagged early enough to sell rather than discovered once it is dead.
Yes. Integration is from £150 per week and pushes live availability to your store, marketplaces and ERP, so every channel reads the same figure — which is what stops overselling.
Yes, where you need one — for year end, an audit, or taking over stock from another provider. It is quoted per count and produces a variance report with causes rather than just a corrected number.
We work to 99.5%+ on managed accounts. The mechanisms behind that are unglamorous: fixed locations, barcode verification on the pick, and counting often enough that an error surfaces in days rather than months.
Yes — ageing and slow-mover reporting by SKU shows where your capital is sitting. That is normally the first place to look when storage costs feel high.
On managed fulfilment accounts cycle counting is included. Where we hold stock only, storage is from £4.50 per pallet per week and reporting or integration is quoted from £150 per week.
Yes — Goods-in-Trust cover in a CCTV-monitored, alarmed warehouse, with CMR / RHA conditions in transit.
