How to Perform Cycle Counts on the Mobile App

Learn how to process Cycle Counts on the Mobile Application.

Updated this week

Available On: Enterprise


Cycle counts are now available on the UpKeep mobile app for users on the Enterprise plan. This feature makes it easy to walk through your storeroom and count inventory directly from your mobile device

⚠️ Please note:

  • Cycle counts are only available on the Enterprise plan. If you’re interested in upgrading or want to learn more, reach out to our team and we’d be happy to walk you through what’s included.

  • All users on the plan can view cycle counts, but only paid users can perform them

  • You can only execute existing cycle counts on mobile

  • You can only create or close cycle counts from the web app



How to Access Cycle Counts on Mobile

  1. Open the UpKeep mobile app on your iOS or Android device

  2. Tap on the More menu

  3. Select Cycle Counts

  4. Select the cycle count you want to perform

Cycle counts must be created on the web app before they appear on mobile


How to Perform a Cycle Count

  1. Tap on a part listed under Needs to be Counted

  2. Enter the quantity

  3. Tap Update to save the count

You can also:

  • Search for a part

  • Scan a barcode or QR code to find a part

  • Skip a part if it doesn’t need to be counted

Parts you’ve already counted will appear in a separate section


Can I Update a Count?

Yes — you can update any count before the cycle count is submitted

Just tap the part again (or rescan it), adjust the number, and tap Update


What Happens After Counting?

  • When all parts are counted, the status will show as Complete on mobile

  • The count will still be open until it's closed by an Admin in the web app

  • Only Admins can close cycle counts after reviewing them


Additional Notes

  • Available on both iOS and Android (make sure you’re using the latest version of the app)

  • Recommended workflow: Create the cycle count on desktop → Perform it on mobile → Close it on desktop
