Inventory counts do not match

Inventory mismatches usually occur after restocks, planogram changes, or missed syncs.

• Compare portal inventory to physical shelf counts.
• Check for recent planogram updates.
• Review last sync timestamp.

• Run a forced inventory sync.
• Re-assign products to correct zones.
• Perform a calibration if layout changed.

• Use consistent restock procedures.
• Avoid swapping SKUs without updating the planogram.
• Confirm inventory updates after every service.

• Sync fails repeatedly.
• Inventory resets unexpectedly.

• Confirm all steps are documented so the next technician can reproduce the results.
• Capture before/after metrics (errors cleared, sales restored, or uptime improved).
• Review machine, reader, or route settings to ensure they match location standards.

• Skipping a controlled test leads to false positives.
• Updating hardware without documenting configuration changes.
• Forgetting to verify payout, refund, or reconciliation data after changes.

• Run a final test with known-good inputs.
• Log the outcome with date, time, and device identifiers.
• Schedule a follow-up check if the location has high traffic or seasonal demand.

• Document changes with time, machine ID, and location name.
• Verify settings, pricing, and service modes after each fix.
• Capture before/after results to confirm resolution.

• Validate telemetry, alerts, and payment logs where applicable.
• Confirm location expectations and update the site contact.

• Configuration drift after firmware or component swaps.
• Inconsistent power or network conditions at the location.
• Gaps in preventive maintenance routines.

• Monitor for 7 days and note any repeat errors.
• Schedule follow-up if the site is high-traffic.
• Escalate with full logs and photos if issues repeat.

• Validate camera calibration and lighting conditions.
• Confirm planogram and SKU mapping are accurate.

• Verify load accuracy to reduce mischarges.
