Inventory Transformation

Overcoming Hotel Inventory Challenges

See how Fari transforms complex inventory management into a simple, efficient process that saves time and reduces costs.

Time-Consuming Counts

Manual inventory counts across multiple departments take staff away from guest service tasks for hours or even days.

Stockouts & Overstocking

Without real-time visibility, hotels either run out of essential items or overstock, tying up capital and storage space.

Departmental Silos

Separate inventory systems for housekeeping, F&B, and other departments lead to duplicate ordering and waste.

Process Comparison

Traditional vs. Fari Approach

See how our solution transforms your inventory management process from end to end.

Traditional Process

1

Manual Inventory Counts

Staff manually count all items across departments, often taking several days per month.

2

Spreadsheet Entry

Count data is manually entered into spreadsheets, introducing potential for human error.

3

Manual Analysis

Staff manually review data to identify reorder needs, often missing critical items.

4

Purchase Orders

Separate departments create individual purchase orders, often duplicating orders.

5

Reactive Problem Solving

Stockouts are addressed reactively, often after they've already impacted guests.

The Result

40+

Hours spent monthly

15%

Excess inventory cost

8%

Revenue loss from stockouts

24+

Stockout incidents monthly

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about our inventory management solution.

How does the visual inventory counting work?

Our AI-powered system has been trained to recognize and count common hotel inventory items from a simple photograph. Staff simply take a photo of shelves, storage areas, or bulk items, and the system automatically identifies and counts each item with high accuracy.

Do we need special equipment or devices?

No special equipment is needed. Our system works with any modern smartphone or tablet (iOS or Android). Staff can use existing hotel devices or their own devices with our secure app.
