A nationwide execution model pairs realtime inventory intelligence with fieldready labor to solve one of retail’s most persistent challenges: onshelf availability
SALT LAKE CITY and CHARLOTTE — March 26, 2026 — ReposiTrak (NYSE: TRAK) and SPAR Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGRP) today announced a commercial and go-to-market strategic initiative to jointly deploy a scalable national solution designed to help retailers improve on-shelf availability, reduce store-level labor strain and ensure that high-velocity products reach the shelf quickly and consistently.
Retailers continue to face rising expectations from shoppers while managing tight labor markets, and increasing operational complexity driven by the evolving use of the store for online fulfillment. The new ReposiTrak–SPAR solution directly addresses these pressures by combining:
• ReposiTrak’s proprietary technologies for scanbased trading, perpetual inventory accuracy, outofstock detection, and route optimization with
• SPAR’s nationwide, ondemand service workforce capable of executing merchandising tasks in any store, anywhere in the country.
Together, the companies deliver a measurable, scalable solution expected to improve in-stock performance and reduce labor strain without adding workload to store teams.
A New Model: On-Demand Merchandising for Retail Reality
A standout component of the partnership is on-demand merchandising — a coordinated service that aligns field labor with the arrival of critical inventory. When trucks arrive with promotional items, seasonal goods, or highvelocity SKUs, SPAR teams can be dispatched immediately to:
• Relieve pressure on store employees
• Ensure product is stocked quickly and correctly
• Prevent sales loss from delayed shelf placement
• Support stores during peak periods or labor shortages
This model gives retailers a flexible labor buffer exactly when and where it’s needed.
Retailers Gain Actionable Intelligence + Guaranteed Execution
“Retailers don’t need more dashboards. They need problems solved and actions taken,” said Randy Fields, Chairman and CEO of ReposiTrak. “Our platform identifies the exact products and locations where action is required. SPAR brings people who can execute that action. Together, we’re giving retailers a way to protect sales and reduce operational stress.”
“Retailers are asking for solutions that lighten the load on store teams while improving the shopper experience,” said William Linnane, President and Chief Executive Officer, SPAR Group. “By pairing ReposiTrak’s realtime insights with our national service footprint, we can help retailers keep shelves full, stores organized and customers satisfied, all without adding to store labor.”
