You can compare quantities geometrically: draw a line expressing incoming shipments and under it a line expressing outgoing shipments. You can also replace counting with an imperative drawing process, there's real imperative counting method using the 正 character, it has five strokes, they are drawn one by one until the character is complete, then next character is drawn.

This is almost exactly what a tally is, like I mentioned its an early form of counting used in a lot of cultures to count animals incoming and outgoing of areas by shepards, often cut into a piece of wood. Suprisingly many cultures have almost the exact same system of making a pattern of 5 lines which then repeats https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tally_marks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tally_marks
