A tailor-made response to the requirements of supermarket chains
Whether you run a hypermarket network, a DIY store or a specialty retailer, your inventory needs are both critical and specific. Self-service environment, high volume, high throughput, month-end operations: inventory reliability is key to your operational and financial performance.
For more than 30 years, Fairson has been supporting food and non-food retailers, with services adapted to each format, each type of team and each operational schedule. Hypermarkets, supermarkets, supermarkets, garden centres, cultural or specialised brands: our methods adapt to all configurations
Proven field expertise
We turn your inventory constraints into an operational advantage
Reduce pressure on your internal teams and get a reliable, actionable result right out of the job.
Gain reliability without mobilizing your entire team
Our teams work independently or in collaboration with your employees, depending on your organizational maturity. Each mission is supervised by a dedicated inventory manager, who guarantees the quality of the counts and on-site coordination.
- Neutrality of control, accounting security
- Immediate return, sorted by radius / zone / family
- Rigorous counting even in the context of rushes or sales
Timeliness, even during busy periods

- Advance or urgent planning according to your needs
- Simultaneous intervention on several points of sale
- Live monitoring of the progress, adjustment if necessary
- Reporting available at the end of the intervention
Our customers appreciate our ability to meet field requirements while delivering reliable data as soon as the inventory is completed.
