Food retail stocktaking UK

Supermarket and convenience store stocktaking

Independent physical counts for supermarkets, convenience stores, cash-and-carry retailers and food shops, planned around trading hours and delivered with a clear same-day report.

Control every area of a busy food store

Food retail combines a high number of product lines with fast-moving stock, mixed packaging and several storage areas. We divide the premises into controlled locations so the shopfloor, stockroom, chilled areas and agreed ancillary stock can be counted systematically.

Our count can cover

  • Ambient grocery, drinks and household lines
  • Shopfloor displays, promotional stock and back stock
  • Chilled and frozen areas where access is agreed
  • Non-barcoded or damaged-label items using an agreed method
  • Business transfer, periodic and year-end stocktakes
  • Electronic, manual or combined counting

Frequently asked questions

Can the stocktake take place outside trading hours?

Yes. Evening, overnight or early-morning counting can be considered according to access, project size and team availability.

Can you count products without readable barcodes?

Yes. We agree a controlled manual or product-reference method before the count for unbarcoded or damaged-label stock.

Do you provide business transfer valuations?

Yes. Independent retailer transfers are a principal service, with transparent counting and detailed same-day reporting.
