RGIS

What RGIS does

RGIS is a privately held global inventory, asset, and supply-chain solutions provider founded in 1957 and headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, under parent RGIS International Holdings LLC. The company's primary European entity is RGIS Inventory Specialists Limited, with significant operations in Birmingham, United Kingdom. It employs approximately 15,000 people across 66 countries and has completed more than 230,000 inventory counts cumulatively. Its business is rooted in outsourced physical inventory counting: trained auditor teams are deployed to customer sites to conduct wall-to-wall counts, targeted counts, cycle counts, and verification projects across retail stores, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and industrial sites.

The core product portfolio spans four lines: Inventory Solutions (wall-to-wall, targeted, and cycle counts), Enterprise Software Solutions, Supply Chain Solutions (delivery checks, pick accuracy audits, pallet verification), and Asset Tagging (fixed asset counts, condition assessment, QR/RFID/BLE/barcode-based asset management). Technology differentiation rests on a proprietary stack that includes RGIS Vision (AI-powered optical character recognition achieving 98.9% accuracy in an aerospace/MRO deployment), drone-based warehouse verification using QR codes at height, figure laser counting for multi-quantity SKUs, the NGEN cloud-based asset management platform, the U Count self-scan inventory solution for Android and iOS, and Parry's CRM, an in-house account management tool.

RGIS monetizes through project-based professional services engagements, multi-year enterprise contracts, asset tagging projects, ESL installation and maintenance, franchise licensing royalties, and U Count equipment rental or software servicing. Its GTM is enterprise field sales with consultation-led discovery meetings; international expansion is executed primarily through a franchise model in markets such as Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, UAE, and Ecuador. Customers span large global retail chains, healthcare providers, manufacturers, and logistics operators, with named engagements including a major airline MRO deployment, a 42-facility European hospital trust, a global DIY retailer, a discount retailer with 3,367 stores in Japan, and a cereal/confectionery producer running annual seasonal returns verification. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for its UK operations and operates in compliance with GDPR and the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework.
