Store Disruptions

The Challenge

Retail Inventory Is More Than a Count.

Shrink, misplacements, receiving errors, and pricing drift quietly erode retail margins every day. Most inventory services hand you a number and walk out the door. Contare AI goes further — our AI pricing engine cross-references every SKU against your vendor contracts and current market pricing, surfacing discrepancies that a standard count would never catch. Whether you run a single location or a regional chain, we tailor our methodology to your store layout, product mix, and reporting needs.

What We Deliver

Retail Inventory Services

Full Physical Inventories

Complete wall-to-wall counts of your entire store — every SKU, every shelf, every stockroom. Scheduled around your store hours to minimize disruption to staff and customers.

Shrink Analysis

Detailed shrink reporting by department, category, and SKU — identifying theft, damage, receiving errors, and administrative losses so you can target the root cause, not just the symptom.

Cycle Count Programs

Ongoing cycle count support for high-velocity departments — keeping your inventory records accurate between full counts and reducing year-end surprises.

AI Pricing Validation

Every item cross-referenced against your vendor contracts and current market pricing — automatically flagging overcharges, expired agreements, and substitution risks before they hit your margin.

Variance Reporting

Line-item variance analysis comparing physical counts against your POS and inventory system — formatted for your operations, finance, and loss prevention teams.

24-Hour Report Delivery

From count completion to final report in under 24 hours — with executive summary, SKU-level detail, shrink breakdown, and pricing flags ready for immediate action.
