how to capture and store data at a fix time

is there anyway to write a method to capture yesterday total inventory bins counts? 

E.g if the data refreshes at 12pm today; it will return a set of "1000 floor bin & 1000 external bin"

Then at 8pm today; it will return a set of " 500 floor bin & 1000 external bin" 

So, is it possible to set a method to capture the and locked on the result return on 8pm daily into a table?

 

Datefloor binexternal bin
28/45001000
29/4800500
30/41000500
1/515002000
2/520001000
3/5500500

 

The struggle i'm having is downloading a mass list of inventory record and its transaction to performs the calculation to just get 3 different value ; the whole duration for the system to extract the data takes up to 1h daily and we need to update it 3 times per day.
