Historical
A chain of discount hypermarkets offering a range of general merchandise products required the support of RGIS. The discount hypermarket chain currently has more than 110 stores in the Republic of Ireland, Spain and Poland, and are designed to help families save money every day, providing great brands at the price people can afford.
THE CHALLENGE
The discount hypermarket chain needed a solution to count stock in all stores due to the ambitious growth plan they have, so required RGIS to provide the following:
- Accurately count all 48 stores
- Counts to be completed twice a year
- All stock to be counted on sales floor and back rooms
Why RGIS?
Retailers use RGIS for stocktaking to obtain accurate, independent inventory counts with minimal disruption to store operations. This reliable data improves stock availability, reduces shrinkage, and supports confident replenishment and commercial decisions.
Our Solutions
The discount hypermarket chain partnered with RGIS to complete the full estate stock count project, and RGIS provided the following:
RGIS teams let the stores know what preparation was required in advance to enable an accurate count, especially preparation of the back rooms
RGIS scheduled one supervisor and 15 experienced auditors per store
Completed the count of the sales floor and backroom within eight hours
Results
The discount hypermarket chain found by outsourcing the full estate stock count project to RGIS, the following results were achieved:
An average of 175,000 units were accurately counted per store
All stores were counted within the customer’s requested time frame
The customer experienced improved behaviours from all the stores, due to RGIS being contracted to provide stocktakes twice a year
Conclusion
By partnering with RGIS to deliver twice-yearly stock counts across its entire store estate, the discount hypermarket chain achieved accurate, consistent visibility of inventory to support its growth plans. RGIS’s structured preparation, experienced teams, and efficient execution ensured all stores were counted within tight timeframes. As a result, the retailer strengthened inventory discipline across the estate and improved ongoing stock management behaviours at store level.
