From reconciliation chaos to a same-day close

Meridian Retail Group

The challenge

Meridian’s stock records were reconciled by hand across 14 warehouses, so discrepancies surfaced weeks after they happened.

Our approach

We embedded a dedicated inventory team, connected directly to Meridian’s ERP, running daily cycle counts and automated variance flags.

“We close the books on time, every time, and we finally trust the numbers.”
