What Altavant Consulting does

Altavant Consulting is a Dubai-headquartered digitalization consulting firm founded in 2017 that helps enterprise retailers and distributors improve inventory accuracy, supply chain visibility, and omnichannel execution. The firm operates as a system integrator, combining two proprietary tools (StokSmart, an AI-powered stocktake scheduler and BI platform launched in 2024, and AI Tracker, an integration monitoring tool developed with AnalyticalWays and launched in 2022) with a curated stack of partner-branded technologies: Datascan (barcode counting, 50+ years, 42+ countries), Frequentiel (RFID), Slimstock (AI supply chain planning, 1,500+ clients), Odoo (ERP/POS/MRP), Booxi (clienteling), and Cegid (unified commerce POS/ERP, 75,000+ stores).

The company monetizes across four streams: IT consultancy and digitalization strategy (professional services), implementation and development (project-based), recurring maintenance/support/hosting with multi-tier SLAs (managed services), and three OPEX-tiered outsourced stocktake offerings (full outsource, self-scan, SaaS-only) plus StokSmart subscriptions. Customer evidence centers on luxury and fashion retailers (FENDI Middle East, Agatha with reported +27% turnover and +413K Euro cashflow improvement, Galeries Lafayette, Kirkland's Home, Tommy Bahama, and logo presence for LVMH/Kering/Hermès/Cartier/Montblanc affiliates), complemented by retail groups (Chalhoub, Al Ghurair, Azadea), perfume/cosmetics (L'Occitane), FMCG/electronics (IQOS), and specialty retailers (Coffee Selection, Ikon House Dubai).

Sales is enterprise-led across Middle East, Europe, and Asia via a Dubai HQ, a France office (Altavant France / ALTAVANT CONSEIL), and event-driven lead generation through webinars. The firm markets through multilingual content (English, Arabic, French), customer testimonials, and case studies, with a diagnostic-first sales approach that routes inquiries by operational context. Reported operational outcomes from deployments include >99% stock availability with RFID, 30-50% annual savings vs. third-party audits via StokSmart, and reduced inventory time from weeks to a single day.
