A new standard for retail inventory
Today's retailers face a painful gap between what the system says and what's actually on the shelf. With Beam you close that gap, find any item in seconds, count without closing, and stop losing sales to phantom stock.
Inventory accuracy as a revenue driver
The average retailer operates at 65% inventory accuracy. That means 1 in 3 items in your system doesn't match reality. Forward-thinking retailers use real-time data to close this gap and turn accuracy into a competitive advantage.
Phantom stock silently kills sales every day
Your system says 5 in stock, the shelf is empty. The customer leaves. Staff spends 20 minutes searching the backroom for nothing. This happens hundreds of times daily across your stores, each time costing a sale you will never see in your reports.
Counting should not mean closing your doors
Traditional inventory counts shut down stores for days, cost thousands in labor, and produce results that are outdated within a week. The right infrastructure lets you count entire zones in minutes during business hours, keeping accuracy current without losing a single hour of trading.
Proven results across retail operations
Beam powers inventory operations across retail stores of all sizes. From single-store independents to multi-location chains, the platform delivers accuracy that transforms how teams sell, replenish, and serve customers.
Inventory accuracy across every shelf, backroom, and display updated in real time with every scan and movement.
Reduction in count time. Full store inventories that took 2 days now take 2 hours with RFID scanning.
Fewer stockouts through proactive replenishment driven by real-time shelf data instead of guesswork.
Average pilot time from setup to live operations. Start with one store, scale when ready.
Retail inventory solutions built for accuracy
Four solutions that cover every inventory workflow. Each one is built to work during business hours no closures, no disruptions.
Find any item in seconds
Search by name, barcode, or RFID tag. Results show exact location, quantity, and status. Staff walk directly to the item instead of searching the backroom.
Explore finding items
Count without closing the store
Run cycle counts by zone, department, or category during business hours. RFID reads hundreds of tags per second and a full store inventory takes hours, not days.
