Phantom inventory, found. Any ERP. Any WMS.

Scout turns any phone or drone into a warehouse auditor. It reads pallet labels and bin labels with AWS Textract, learns your label format from 1–3 sample scans, then compares every scan against your ERP / WMS to surface phantom inventory — the pallets your system thinks exist but don't, and the ones sitting in the wrong slot.

The problem it solves

Your warehouse system says the pallet is there. The pallet isn't there.

Cycle counts catch maybe 5% of phantom inventory. The other 95% lives in the gap between what your ERP thinks is on the rack and what is actually on the rack — until a short-ship goes out, a customer screams, or a stock-take quarter ends badly.

Scout makes the audit continuous. Phones for aisles workers walk anyway, drones for the bays nobody likes counting, the same variance pipeline writing tasks back to whichever ERP or WMS you run.

Inside Scout

The whole audit loop, from phone to ROI report.

Mobile audit (PWA)

A web app that runs on any iOS Safari or Android Chrome — no install. Worker scans bin, scans pallet, Scout auto-compares against your ERP, generates a worklist task if there is a variance.

Drone audit

DJI Tello, Mavic and Dock 2 fly preset routes through the warehouse, capture every bin close-up, and feed the same ERP variance pipeline as phone scans.

Worklist

Every variance turns into a typed task — Move pallet, Investigate phantom, Re-bin, Recount. Assignable to a warehouse resource, priced in £ at risk, tracked to closure.

OCR Lab

Tune label extraction per customer. Drop a bin or pallet image, Scout shows extraction confidence per line, and the model learns the format from 1–3 examples.

Analytics & ROI

Bottom-line impact of every audit — £ short-shipping prevented, labour hours saved, projected annual run-rate vs subscription cost. Defensible payback maths, not vendor spin.
