ABSTRACT:
A display against inventory verification apparatus and method that is operable to compare the display of items in a store to the inventory of the store to ensure that all items in inventory are on display and to ensure that all items on display are in inventory. Each item on display includes a bar code label and a bar code label reader is used to read and store all of the bar codes on display. A computer controller, which communicates with the bar code label reader compares the items on display with an inventory of the items for determining those items on display with inventory below a predetermined threshold. The computer controller also compares the items on display with an inventory of available items for determining those available items not on display. The computer generates reports of the items on display with inventory below the predetermined threshold and of the items available in inventory that are not on display.
