Stocktaking carried out exclusively by Novastock, who provide all the necessary equipment and staff.

1 In Spain, in France and Southern Europe:

Rounds at regular intervals: each round, carried out on an annual, semi-annual or quarterly basis, includes between 10 and 200 stocklists and can on average mobilise up to 20 Round Managers over a 3 to 4 week period.

Intermediate rounds, depending on the areas or results

Spontaneous inspection stocktaking for new Round Managers, to calculate the stock value with the aim of transferring the business or following a rate outside standards or theft.
