One missed scan won’t stop your growth. But what happens when small data discrepancies get multiplied across hundreds of stores? Even the best operations experience data discrepancies. The key to prevention is identifying them quickly before affecting inventory visibility, payments, and reporting. Vendors expanding from 50 to 500 stores drive revenue and growth, but they also create more opportunities for missed scans.  

Fintech SBT supports suppliers through accurate sales reporting, shared data visibility, inventory management, and better reconciliation capabilities. Missed scans become easier to identify and faster to resolve, so vendors can spend more time growing their business.  

How Do You Track a Missed Scan?

Fintech SBT provides vendors with store-level POS reporting, inventory management capabilities, validation workflows, reconciliation tools, and shared retailer-supplier insights. Instead of spending valuable time searching for answers, vendors gain a clear view of product performance, sales trends, and inventory movement across their retail footprint.  

However, visibility is only as valuable as the accuracy of the data behind it. To make confident inventory, merchandising, and expansion decisions, vendors need information they can trust. That’s where the foundation of accurate data becomes essential, and where even one missed scan can have a larger impact than many realize. 

Data Accuracy is the Foundation of It All

Accurate data is what keeps a missed scan from escalating. Vendors need confidence that the data they’re using accurately reflects what’s happening in stores. When multiplied across hundreds of stores and thousands of transactions, those small inaccuracies can affect sales reporting, replenishment decisions, settlement processes, and confidence in the data itself.  

Fintech SBT helps create a stronger foundation of accuracy through POS visibility validation workflows and reconciliation capabilities designed to identify and resolve discrepancies quickly. By improving data accuracy, vendors can spend less time correcting issues and more time making informed decisions that support growth. 

How Fintech SBT Helped a Vendor Expand

Expanding stores from 790 to 5,190 locations is the kind of growth every vendor strives for. That’s exactly what happened when Topaz Distribution partnered with Fintech to help retailers test Topaz products with lower inventory risk. Retailers became open to program adoption, and the process of onboarding and execution supported faster setup and consistency across all new partners.  

Topaz Distribution carried products with strong brand recognition, licensed DC Comics items, but consumers are shifting to digital formats, causing a decline in demand for physical print media. Retailers were often hesitant to commit to products that were at high risk for them to absorb the loss of unsold inventory and the uncertain sell-through for physical media. Topaz partnered with Fintech to launch and scale its product offerings through scan-based trading, using SBT as both a risk-mitigation tool for retailers and a growth framework for suppliers.  

Topaz, with the Fintech SBT program, delivered rapid and sustained growth following launch in April 2025: 

  • Expanded from one retail partner to 18 retailers in under a year 
  • Grew from 790 U.S. stores to 5,190 locations across the U.S. and Canada 
  • Achieved 2,013% quarter-over-quarter growth in Q3 2025 following the Q2 launch 

But growth at that scale requires visibility. A single missed scan may seem insignificant, but when multiplied across thousands of stores and transactions, small discrepancies can impact inventory accuracy, sales reporting, replenishment decisions, and settlement processes. Fintech SBT helps vendors maintain confidence in their data through POS visibility, validation workflows, reconciliation capabilities, and shared retailer-supplier insights, making it easier to scale into new retailers and markets with confidence.
