The benefits of hiring a dedicated inventory company (and why size is no obstacle)
A specialized company doesn't just count faster: it counts better, without slowing your operation and with an auditable number. And it doesn't matter whether you run a pharmacy or a distribution center with a million SKUs: there's a solution for every volume.
Counting inventory is easy to underestimate until it goes wrong: variances that don't add up, lost sales from stockouts, an audit that gets complicated. A dedicated inventory company exists precisely so that doesn't happen, and so counting stops being a yearly headache.
Benefits of a dedicated company
- Expert, trained staff. Teams that do this every day, with method and speed, not once a year.
- PDT technology. Barcode scanning up to 10 times faster than manual counting, with real-time sync.
- Impartiality. An independent third party delivers a neutral result; your staff don't audit their own work.
- Without disrupting your operation. 24/7 availability year-round, with the count scheduled to fit you.
- Detection of variances and shrinkage. Discrepancies against theoretical stock, shortages and possible theft come to light.
- Immediate reports. Results ready to reconcile and load into your system and accounting, in Spanish and English.
- Data security. Your inventory information is handled with confidentiality and backup.
- Guaranteed 98% to 100% accuracy. Backed by control recounts and cross-validation.
Every inventory size we handle
One of the advantages of working with specialists is the ability to scale. At Invent we cover any volume and any type of merchandise:
Small inventory
A store, a pharmacy, a shop or a boutique. Fast, accurate counts wrapped up in a single shift without closing the business more than necessary. Ideal for retailers who need to reconcile their stock without mounting a huge operation.
Mid-size inventory and chains
Multiple branches, supermarkets, hardware stores, department stores or apparel and footwear shops. We coordinate teams to cover multiple sites with a single accuracy standard and one consolidated report.
Large distribution centers
General or location-based counts in warehouses and distribution centers, including databases with over a million rows. We add tagging and location surveys, plus receiving and shipping. Volume isn't a limit: it's a matter of method and manpower.
Fixed assets
Counting, surveying and tagging of fixed assets with unique codes, to reconcile your records against physical reality. Key for accounting, insurance and audits.
Perishables and cycle counts
Cycle counts for meats, dairy, deli, fruit, produce, bakeries and restaurants, where turnover and freshness demand frequent, agile control.
Special projects
Data capture, merchandising, operational labor and custom needs. If your case doesn't fit a standard box, we design the procedure.
How we work
Our process is always the same, no matter the size: tailored planning, a custom program, PDT counting, location control and variance verification, and immediate final reports. That's how we deliver reliable results without stopping your operation.
And we're not tied to a map: we're based in Panama with service in the Dominican Republic, Curaçao, Aruba and Saint Martin, among others. We go wherever you need us.
