Salon L-10: the room where the inventory planner decides which SKU gets counted this Saturday and the counter kit lands before the first opened box
Salon L-10 is an inventory-management room in a wholesale warehouse: 95-inch touchscreen with the real-time WMS, backup projector, 28 planning stations in a horseshoe with dual screens, video conferencing to the national warehouse network, round-the-clock coffee service, dock with night access for unloading trailers, audio system with individual mics to record the session. Weekly cycle-count planning sessions run here, along with pre-audit briefings with external auditor presence, accuracy committees with the brand owner of the freight, optimisation sessions with the WMS vendor, and month-end sessions with the warehouse director. What sets Salon L-10 apart is not the staging (which is austere and operational) but the count cadence: every merch piece has to land signed for by the receiving counter, exit with the warehouse control sheet, and let Saturday's cycle count close without merch logistics delaying the first box counted.
