Waste, theft and missing stock often go unnoticed.

Detecting issues early and investigating their cause helps prevent losses from building up and the same issues from recurring.

Not every stock loss deserves the same attention. Yield ranks variance by financial impact, helping your team focus on the issues costing the most before smaller problems become expensive ones.

  • Rank variance by financial impact.
  • Prioritise the biggest losses first.
  • Filter by product, category or location.
  • Focus investigations where they'll have the greatest impact.

Investigation

Finding missing stock is only the beginning. Understanding why it happened is what prevents it from happening again. Evidence from waste, overuse, supplier issues, count discrepancies and stock movements helps explain what really happened.

  • Investigate every variance.
  • Record findings and outcomes.
  • Categorise operational causes.
  • Build a history of recurring issues.

  • View a complete stock timeline.
  • Trace every movement for a product.
  • Filter activity by date or location.
  • Understand how inventory changed over time.

Stock variance is the difference between the inventory your business should have based on purchases and sales, and what is actually counted during stock counts.

Yield compares supplier deliveries, sales, stock counts and product definitions to calculate what inventory should remain. Any difference becomes a variance for investigation.

Yes. Variance can be filtered by location, category, supplier or product, allowing managers to prioritise investigations where they'll have the greatest impact.

No. Stock counting confirms what is physically in your business. Variance Intelligence explains why the numbers don't match.

Every investigation records its cause, actions taken and outcome. Yield then tracks future variance to show whether those actions reduced the problem over time.
