A leading fast-fashion brand retailer with over 500 stores in the UK and Ireland required the support of RGIS. The retailer has a transactional website which ships to around 66 countries world-wide.

REQUIREMENT
A leading fast-fashion retailer wanted a stocktaking solution that would give extra detail per unit to more accurately analyse the stock, so required RGIS to provide the following:

• National coverage
• Stocktake to be completed during working hours, with no disruption to business, staff or customers
• Reporting that would give extra detail per unit including:
• SKU
• Style
• Colour
• Size

SOLUTION
The leading fast-fashion retailer partnered with RGIS to complete the detailed reporting store stocktaking project, and provided the following:

• Experienced RGIS teams worked closely with stores to confirm scheduling restrictions
• Created a tailor-made program for the customer
• RGIS maintained regular contact with all store managers
• Reviewed both stock in the back room and on the sales floor for preparation
• Accuracy checks conducted on all counts

RESULTS
The leading fast-fashion retailer found by outsourcing the detailed reporting store stocktaking project to RGIS the following results were achieved:

• Improved accuracy and availability in-store, due to the greater level of detail within the reporting
• A process was defined to include gift card and vouchers, which reduced shrink numbers
• Reliable data gave less stock outs in-store which meant more products were available to customers
