For those running a retail operation like a convenience store or liquor store, or for those who manage warehouses, inventory audits can be one of the most stressful times. As stressful and disruptive as inventory day can be for your staff, who need to perform inventory counts as well as their normal duties, it is absolutely necessary. One of the best alternatives that minimize not only the time loss, but the decrease in productivity, and often the sheer expense of performing a manual inventory with in-house staff, is to outsource your inventory count services to a professional like Monarch.

Kansas City has a massive number of convenience stores, liquor stores, and warehouses, and Monarch was founded in 1985 to provide leading inventory count services to those industries. Since becoming one of the area’s leading inventory count services, we have also begun to explore providing services to manufacturing and distribution-based businesses.

We establish processes that help increase efficiency and accuracy while facilitating your operation’s growth.
Keeping an accurate and updated inventory is crucial to the success of every business that sells a product. If your business operates in the digital space, knowing what your inventory is can help prevent catastrophic breakdowns like overselling inventory that you don’t currently have. Having a current inventory count also prevents too much inventory from being ordered. Your inventory is an asset, and storing excess inventory at your sale location can lead to clutter and damaged products, which equates to lost revenue.
The inventory counting services of Monarch can help safeguard your business against over and underordering, so you aren’t paying for goods you don’t technically need to stock yet. Just as we consider all of our team members to be a part of the Monarch family, we count our customers among our family as well. No matter the scope or size of your operation, it’s important that we align ourselves with your business’s overall goals. We give all of our customers the same top-tier attention, whether you’re a small independently-owned shop or an extensive warehousing location with a million square feet.
Performing inventory audits in Kansas City convenience stores is a vital part of efficient and profitable operation, but it is also a relatively daunting and often highly time-consuming task. Partnering with an inventory company like Monarch Inventory Services, however, can help convenience stores of all sizes to capture convenience store inventory counts easily and efficiently, without taking your staff away from their duties. We are able to offer an incredibly wide range of services for all levels and types of convenience stores in the Kansas City area because we have customizable software designed specifically facilitate easy inventory management.
Maintaining accurate inventory, particularly for smaller or independently-owned convenience stores is one of the most important tasks. Making sure your business doesn’t take on more inventory than it needs can be a big part of reducing or even eliminating loss due to damage, expiration, or even getting misplaced. A similar benefit can be seen in the prevention of underordering, which prevents you from having enough stock on hand of your most popular items, reducing the potential for revenue and tightening your profit margins just a little bit more.
One of the biggest factors for success in smaller or growing operations is accurate and intelligent inventory management. That said, you can’t manage your inventory intelligently if you don’t have an accurate, live count of your assets.

Bringing in a third-party inventory company can be a big decision.

Having an objective party come in to address these concerns and get you back on track can be hugely beneficial.
We provide a variety of price quotes depending upon the project, service type, and market segment. During our initial conversations we will gather the specific details about your project and using our past experiences will estimate time and costs. We will put together a price quote that helps you establish a budgetary plan and aligns with how you conduct business. We will include staffing requirements based upon scope and time constraints. You will be given a clear picture of what to expect, and we take pride in getting our quotes correct.
Everyone we put on a service initiative or project team are direct hires of Monarch. Temporary labor introduces too much inconsistency, not to mention a lack of commitment, to your mission. Your goals are simply too important to do something like this. With regards to booking a project or service and then triggering our human resources department to “hire to staff”, this can also introduce unknown variables into your planning efforts. For example, rapid changes in the hiring dynamics could affect our ability to meet the target team size. Additionally, this practice has the potential to lead to “over selling”, and you could be the customer that is not at the top of the priority list and have your project cut at the last minute. We have a staff plan that aligns with our growth goals, and we hire to that plan. We are up front with you about what we can and can’t do in terms of staffing your project.
