Fairson: 30 years of outsourced stocktaking expertise

Strong foundations

An entrepreneurial story built on growth

Founded in 1995 by Stéphane Violleau and Cédric Gény, Fairson was created with a clear ambition: to professionalise stocktaking and turn it into a reliable, fast and innovative service. The founders set out to transform a task that was often poorly controlled into a turnkey solution built on rigour, expertise and continuous improvement.

Over nearly 30 years, Fairson has grown from a pioneering French company into a leading European player, supporting more than 650 brands each year across France and beyond. Through acquisitions, the launch of subsidiaries and strategic partnerships (including WIS International and Acrebis), each stage of development has strengthened our ability to support customers with consistent standards of quality, transparency and innovation.

Today, Fairson is recognised as a strategic partner capable of turning operational constraints into genuine performance and growth levers.

Our values: people and innovation at the heart of our services

At Fairson, innovation is a reality, not a slogan.
Since our inception, we have modernised stocktaking practices through digital reporting, dematerialised signatures, mobile management and automated alerts. Our tools continuously evolve to ensure reliable stock data, simplify operations and give our customers a competitive edge.
Innovation goes hand in hand with people. Our teams are our greatest strength. Through internal mobility, continuous training and a respectful working environment, we foster commitment and expertise. In the field and at head office, every employee understands the importance of the customer and acts within a transparent, partnership-driven service culture.
