A day you will recognise

Know exactly what is losing you money,
in one afternoon.

Your POS records everything. But it never tells you which products are quietly bleeding margin. This is a closer look at how RetailGuard works, the same Tuesday before and after.

Hundreds of margin leaks found in a typical forecourt. An estimated €7,500 to €10,000 a year recovered. No new hardware.

In pilot with an Irish forecourt

Tuesday 7:15 AM. The problem

A supplier delivery arrives. Dozens of crates. You sign and move on.

There is no time to check every line. The invoice goes in a drawer. Somewhere in those crates, 12 products just increased in cost. Your till still sells them at the old price. You will not know for weeks.

This is how invisible margin leaks start. Not from theft. From prices that drift while nobody is looking.

12 hidden cost increases in one delivery

Frozen pizza, own brand−16% margin
Jellies multipack−8% margin
Sliced pan, 800g−4% margin

You will not see these until end of month, if ever.

Tuesday 11:30 AM. The spreadsheet

Thousands of rows. Which few hundred have a problem? The spreadsheet will not tell you.

Between customers, you open the price list CSV. You scroll. You squint. A queue forms. You close the laptop. This happens every week. The spreadsheet shows everything but tells you nothing.

You would need 3 to 5 hours to find the problems manually. Hours you do not have.

Thousands

rows in your weekly CSV export

Hundreds of margin problems hidden in there. Your POS recorded them all. It just never told you which ones.

Tuesday 9:00 PM. Closing up

Another day, another unknown. Are you making money or losing it?

The till says €2,148 today. Was that good? Is half the chilled section below target margin? Is tobacco still right after the March duty rise? You genuinely do not know.

The average Irish forecourt loses an estimated €7,500 to €10,000 per year in margin it could have recovered. Not from theft. From prices that quietly drifted.

Coresight Research finds retailers lose 6.4% of gross sales to store inefficiencies (out-of-stocks, pricing errors, shelf gaps).

Wednesday 7:00 AM. The fix

Wednesday. RetailGuard found the problems overnight. You did nothing.

While you slept, RetailGuard read your POS data (read-only, it cannot change anything). It ranked every pricing issue by how much money it costs you. The worst offenders are at the top.

No spreadsheet. No scrolling. No guessing. Open your phone, dashboard loads in under 2 seconds.

Every issue found, ranked by cost
