Who prints the tags?
It's easy to do yourself. Once you create the print file(s), simply print the tags onto the blank Control Count sheets.
-
What type of printer should I use to print the tags?
Any printer that can print letter-size paper works, but laser printers and multitlifunction networked printers are best.
-
Why isn't the text aligned properly when I print the tags?
Make sure your PDF print settings are set to "Actual size" or "100%" or "No Scaling". We often see the default print setting incorrectly set to "Fit to Page" or "Shrink to Fit".
-
What size are the tags?
Count tags are 2 inches wide by 1 inch high (2" X 1"). The Re-Count tag is 1 inch wide by 1 inch high (1" X 1").
-
After I place a blank tag order, when will you ship them?
We typically ship the next business day. Shipping times vary based on your location, but you should receive them within 7 business days.
-
Can you ship the tags to multiple locations?
Yes, we will ship to multiple locations for free. Contact us before you order to let us know where you want the shipment to go.
-
Can I do a ''Blind Count'' with Control Count?

-
Is my ERP system compatible with Control Count?
Our solution works with any system that allows you to export your inventory data to a flat file (text file, csv, etc.).

What fields are available in the Control Count template?
Tag #, Warehouse, Count Area, Count Area Description, Location ID, Part #, Lot #, Description, Unit of Measure, System Quantity.
-
What fields are required or very important to have in our inventory system?
While it would be best to have all of the data fields from the Control Count template available in your inventory system, the most critical are Location ID, Part #, Description and Unit of Measure. If your system does not have Location IDs, please contact us.
-
Can I customize the field names on the tags?
Yes, a few of the field names are customizable (e.g. Lot#, Part#, Desc.)
-
Can we customize or create our own Tag #s?
Yes you can.
-
Is there a limit to how many times I can upload a file to the Web-hosted software?
No, you can run as many tests or iterations as you need.
-
Do I need to download the Control Count Wizard Software?
No, you don't. The software is Web-hosted in the cloud. Just login to upload your formatted text file to create the print file.
