A perfume and cosmetics chain, third largest in Europe with over 1,000 stores across 11 markets, including France, Austria, Switzerland and Spain, required the support of RGIS. Offering 10,000 different product lines in beauty, perfume and accessories.
THE CHALLENGE
The customer required RGIS to provide the following:
- Full stock count of central warehouse managed by a third party
- Variances to be fully checked
- Pallets on all levels to be counted including floor and upper levels
- Also include single picked items in the stock count
- To be fully completed with variances checked in two days
