Ongoing Warehouse Stock Control, Not a One-Off Stocktake

Physical data capture
The system captures pallet identifiers and assigns them to the storage locations in which they are physically observed.

WMS or ERP comparison
Observed pallet locations are compared with expected system records to identify mismatches.

Evidence-backed exceptions
Discrepancies are supported by time-stamped visual and barcode evidence for investigation.

Managed service delivery
RAWview monitors the service, tracks coverage and performance, and supports improvement over time.




What Happens When Physical Inventory No Longer Matches Your WMS?
Picking delays. Emergency searches. Recounts. Customer disputes. Write-offs. Audit pressure.
Warehouse operations depend on reliable inventory data. When pallets move, are misidentified or become unreadable without the corresponding system record being corrected, physical reality and WMS data begin to diverge.
Manual stock takes and cycle counts provide only a point-in-time snapshot. Between checks, discrepancies can accumulate unnoticed.
The difference between what your WMS records and what is physically verified is the Inventory Assurance Gap.

The cost appears through labour, delayed operations, customer disputes, write-offs and audit effort.
Weak inventory verification creates costs that go far beyond stock-counting labour - in the form of searches, disruption, customer disputes, write-offs and audit effort. As the Inventory Assurance Gap widens between checks, those costs can accumulate unnoticed.
Labour & operations
- Routine shutdowns
- Inventory searches
- Recounts & disruption
- Working at height
Disputes & write-offs
- Late discovery
- Weak evidence
- Costly resolution
- Avoidable recounts
Audit & compliance
- Reactive investigation
- Reduced visibility
- Poor traceability
- More preparation

RAWview Assure FAQs
What is RAWview Assure?
RAWview Assure is an ongoing managed warehouse inventory-verification service.
It uses an autonomous warehouse inventory drone and ground robot to capture physical pallet and location information, compare it with WMS or ERP records and identify discrepancies supported by time-stamped evidence.
The system is deployed at the customer's warehouse, while RAWview remains responsible for monitoring and supporting the service.
Is RAWview Assure a one-off stocktake or audit service?
No. RAWview Assure is an ongoing managed inventory-verification service.
An autonomous system is deployed at the customer's warehouse and performs repeated checks against an agreed scope and schedule. RAWview manages, monitors and supports the service throughout the agreed service term.
The Inventory Assurance Site Diagnostic is a defined initial assessment used to establish the baseline and deployment requirements. It should not be confused with the ongoing RAWview Assure service that follows.
RAWview Assure strengthens audit evidence and readiness, but it is not a statutory audit or certification service.
How do warehouse inventory drones support inventory management?
Warehouse inventory drones capture pallet identifiers and physical storage locations across racking, including high-level positions that can be costly, disruptive or difficult to check manually.
RAWview Assure combines an autonomous warehouse inventory drone with a ground robot to perform repeated checks across an agreed warehouse scope.
The observed inventory is compared with expected WMS or ERP records, allowing discrepancies to be identified and investigated using time-stamped visual and barcode evidence.
Unlike standalone inventory drones, the technology is deployed and managed by RAWview as part of an ongoing service.
Can RAWview Assure automate stock taking and cycle counting?
RAWview Assure can reduce reliance on routine manual stock taking, inventory counting and cycle counting by performing repeated automated checks across an agreed warehouse scope.
The service can check more pallet locations more frequently without proportionately increasing manual counting effort, access-equipment use or headcount.
It is delivered as an ongoing managed warehouse stock-control service—not as a temporary replacement for a single year-end stocktake or statutory audit.
How are physical pallet locations compared with WMS or ERP records, and what discrepancies can be identified?
The autonomous system captures pallet identifiers together with the storage locations in which they are physically observed across the agreed warehouse scope.
Observed positions are compared with expected WMS or ERP records. Depending on the customer's data, identifier structure and agreed scope, RAWview Assure can flag:
- missing inventory;
- unexpected inventory;
- misplaced pallets;
- duplicated identifiers;
- unreadable barcodes or agreed human-readable identifiers.
Exceptions are flagged for investigation rather than silently inferred. Results can be reviewed through a secure interface, exported into established workflows or integrated with existing systems according to the agreed deployment scope.
Can the system operate alongside live warehouse activity?
Yes. The technology is designed to operate within defined routes and controlled operating behaviours inside live warehouse environments.
Verification can be scheduled during live activity or during agreed out-of-hours windows, depending on the site assessment, operating conditions and customer requirements.
Deployment is planned to minimise disruption, reduce reliance on routine manual checks and limit avoidable pedestrian–MHE interaction.
Does RAWview Assure integrate with existing WMS or ERP systems?
RAWview Assure is designed to work alongside existing WMS and ERP platforms rather than replace them.
Verification results can be reviewed through the RAWview interface, provided through agreed data exports or integrated through an API or other interface where this forms part of the deployment scope.
Any required data access, mapping and workflow changes are defined during the Site Diagnostic and implementation planning.
How does RAWview Assure reduce operational costs and risk?
The cost of poor inventory verification is rarely limited to the labour used for stock counts. It also appears through emergency searches, picking delays, rework, customer disputes, write-offs, audit preparation, avoidable capacity loss and management time spent investigating discrepancies.
RAWview Assure reduces the direct effort and disruption associated with routine cycle counting, while identifying discrepancies before they affect fulfilment, customer service or operational planning. It allows more warehouse locations to be checked more frequently without proportionately increasing manual stock-counting effort or headcount.
The commercial value can come from both direct savings and avoided exposure:
- Less manual counting, access-equipment use and operational disruption.
- Fewer unresolved discrepancies, emergency searches and avoidable recounts.
- Earlier identification of misplaced, missing or unexpected inventory.
- Stronger evidence when resolving customer disputes or preparing for audits.
- Reduced risk of inventory errors creating service failures, penalties, write-offs or lost capacity.
Doing nothing does not preserve the current situation. It allows the gap between physical inventory and system records to continue generating hidden operational and financial cost.
Where a business case is required, RAWview supports the development of it from validated information gathered during the Inventory Assurance Site Diagnostic. This ensures the business case reflects the customer's actual warehouse, processes and exposure rather than guessed inputs or generic savings assumptions.
What types of warehouse are suitable, and what does the customer need to provide?
RAWview Assure is suitable for many palletised warehouse and storage environments, including logistics, manufacturing and distribution operations where inventory accuracy, high-bay verification and auditability are important.
Suitability depends on factors such as racking configuration, aisle access, barcode or identifier standards, site connectivity, operating conditions and the availability of relevant WMS or ERP data.
Customer requirements typically include:
- suitable pallet identifiers;
- safe aisle access;
- a charging-dock location and power;
- agreed connectivity;
- relevant WMS or ERP data;
- defined operating windows.
RAWview assesses these requirements before recommending a deployment.
How is the managed service supported and maintained?
RAWview remains responsible for system monitoring, software updates, operational support and technical maintenance throughout the agreed service term.
Site teams are not expected to fly the drone or manage the underlying robotics. RAWview monitors system health, service delivery, coverage and exceptions, with responsibilities and support arrangements defined during deployment planning.
