Logistics reliability on a daily basis
Your warehouses require accurate, fast and connected stocktaking
In logistics environments, stock accuracy is not optional. It is essential to maintain operational performance, prevent stock-outs, optimise flows and ensure correct asset valuation. Fairson delivers tailored stocktaking services for warehouses, logistics platforms, industrial depots and distribution centres. We work with rigour, responsiveness and proven methods across France and Europe.
Our objective is to provide stock data that is fully up to date, immediately usable and seamlessly compatible with your WMS or ERP systems.
An expert partner for complex, multi-reference environments
Warehouse stocktaking is far more than a simple count. It is a high-value operation that requires careful preparation, efficient execution and structured reporting.
Our methodology adapts to your objectives: stock valuation, internal audit, WMS reconciliation, balance sheet preparation or logistics transformation.
Controlled processes
A rigorous methodology from scoping to reporting
Every Fairson logistics stocktake follows a proven, structured process:
- Initial scoping with your teams: scope, objectives and formats
- Technical testing where required: WMS/ERP connectivity or exports
- On-site delivery by teams trained in logistics environments
- Real-time quality checks during counting
- Immediate visibility of results (valued stock, discrepancies and anomalies)
- Consolidated campaign reporting for multi-site or recurring operations
Our tools provide live monitoring, full traceability and centralised consolidation of results across multiple warehouses.

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."
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."
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."
