Improve accuracy and efficiency

Outsourcing is about far more than “counting”. It is a powerful performance lever that secures stock data and strengthens decision-making.

Unmatched Reliability and Accuracy

Our standardised processes, real-time quality monitoring and trained teams ensure rigorous counting and dependable reporting. Our objective: zero discrepancies, zero re-entry and zero write-offs.

Present in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium and the French overseas departments and territories, we combine Europe-wide delivery capability with local flexibility. Our hybrid model adapts to your constraints: even the most complex.

Our tools give you a live view of your stocktakes: planning, alerts, checks and consolidated results. Decide faster, correct sooner and improve performance sustainably.

What our customers say

Our customers highlight a close working relationship, high reliability and high-performing tools that make follow-up easier.

“For the past 10 years, I have entrusted them with the stocktakes for half of my 500 stores.
I have an inventory of my stores made each time I leave and return from my holidays"
"Beyond the technical delivery, the human aspect is decisive.
The work delivered by Fairson is solid and offers good value for money. Most providers are broadly comparable on the technical side, and the job is not easy given the level of procedure. With Fairson, the human relationship really matters."
"Professionalism, responsiveness and a close relationship… it’s the full package.
For me, Fairson’s strengths are the attention paid to the customer, their constantly evolving tools and their reliability. They do not rest on their laurels and regularly propose improvements to stocktaking procedures. Twice a year, I entrust them with the stocktakes for my 20 stores in France, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Italy and Spain."
"I value having a single point of contact.
With Fairson, I have one dedicated point of contact. That proximity improves the quality of our exchanges and, as a result, responsiveness. Their in-house IT department is also a real advantage, confirmed when I visited their headquarters in Challans: they are exceptionally well structured."
"I chose Fairson for its knowledge of the medical sector.
The inventory manager represents us at our customers’ premises, so the quality of the relationship during delivery is essential. I would describe them as a supportive partner in delivering stocktakes—high-quality services. Working with Fairson saves our sales representatives time, and the results are more reliable because they are fully objective."
"I appreciate the reliability of their services, their availability and their flexibility.
Fairson is large enough to work across several sites throughout France, but not so large that you lose direct contact—that is what sets them apart. I appreciate their reliability, availability and flexibility."
"They are extremely precise; I am completely satisfied with the service.
Fairson is my sole provider for stocktaking the technical equipment in my stores. Their nationwide availability and professionalism make them a reliable company I would happily recommend."
"Fairson offers simplicity and transparency in the way we work together.
With Fairson, the technical side is there, but it is more workable than with others: there is real listening and a relationship that feels like a partnership. Fairson genuinely takes customer requirements into account, as well as the social side of stocktaking—for example by pooling teams across several brands."
"Teams available, even in urgent situations.
Team availability, traceability of information, flexibility and trust: we work very well with Fairson in a spirit of shared understanding. Fairson is truly customer-focused—always attentive and proactive. Competence, know-how, technical expertise… it’s a pleasure to work with them."
"They are my only provider for 30 stores in France.
Fairson delivers the level of quality I expect. My teams also report that stocktakes run smoothly within our mixed procedures (twice a year): professionalism of the inventory managers, quality of the toolset, reporting, and so on."
