The back room, drawn so the owner can see the pile.

We count what is on the shelf and what is sitting behind it, then sit with you over the drawings. The work is for hardware counters, cloth shops, groceries, and household rooms in Bangkok. The desk is on Seri Thai Road.

Ask for a stockroom reading

What a reading puts on the table

The first pages follow the room as your staff walk it: facing, opened cartons, and the box taped shut for the next festival. A size run is drawn as a row with the gaps left empty. If you share invoices, the movement sketch uses those dates and leaves a blank where a week was never written down.

A first file is one shop. The span is usually twelve to sixteen days, with a second visit on a different kind of day so a delivery truck is not mistaken for ordinary stock. The fee starts at 46,000 baht. The scope is written out in the stockroom brief.

From a fastener counter in Khlong Kum

The trays of hinges looked complete from the aisle. The drawing showed the 1-inch size living in a tin under the counter, while the bin I reorder from was full of a size the contractors stopped asking for in March.

Anucha W., hardware counter near Nawamin Road, after a stockroom reading.

The longer account of that counter, including the morning the supplier blocked the shutter, is on the client stories page.

Shorter files, when the whole room is not the question

Shelves of folded rain covers and stacked household goods in a dim shop before the rainy season

Seasonal shelf study

One visit, one family of goods, drawn before you place the seasonal order: what is left from last year, what is already on the facing, and what the back room is still holding.

Two groups of cartons and folded goods set side by side on a dark wood table

Branch ledger

The same lines counted in two shops and set on one pair of pages, so a full shelf in Khlong Kum is not mistaken for the same fullness in Min Buri.

An evening table with blank ivory sheets, a copper lamp, and two velvet chairs

Buying evening

A seated hour for the people who write the orders, turning a reading that already exists, or a thinner set of notes prepared from your papers alone.

A Tuesday on the floor

Count day starts with the shutter and a person who can open the back room. We do not close the shop. The sequence, from the lane to the sitting, is written as its own page for owners who want to know what their staff will see.
