Extended service options

Customers are becoming more selective and look for brands where they can shop anytime, anywhere, or on any device. Furthermore, shoppers expect their desired items to be ubiquitously available – whether they browse in a brick-and-mortar store or online. Retailers are extending their service options – such as ship-to-home, ship-to-store, ship-from-store, click-and-collect, and a range of return choices – to compete. In this context, inventory visibility is crucial to keep the 'availability promise' and make customers happy! You can have complete stock visibility by using Nedap's iD Cloud systems, unlocking all these possibilities.

Reduced check-out time

Using RFID scanning with embedded tags, as opposed to either solution with hard tags, reduces the average transaction time by almost half. Simply because it eliminates the need to scan all the barcodes one by one and the need to remove the hard tag, this means that, on average, staff spends only half as much time performing checkouts.

Increase digital merchandise availability

If a retailer wants to increase digital availability successfully, it is essential to know exactly where products are at the unique item level. RFID is the perfect technology to quickly and seamlessly register products and assign a specific status and location. As a result, this technology ensures high stock accuracy and creates end-to-end stock visibility. When all stock-related processes in the retail supply chain with RFID are captured, a central instance that holds all read-events, the so-called EPCIS repository, will contain real-time, item-level information about the available and the sellable stock at the sublocation level.

RFID versus traditional backend systems

Benefits of using RFID

Unique-item-level management
Item-level status management enables the tracking and tracing of each product. For example, it allows seeing if specific products in a store are sellable.
tick-mark
Sub-location view
RFID can associate items with their location & manage the stock among various sub-locations. For instance, retailers can route an online order to a store where the item is available.

Real-time inventory view
Most ERP- or POS-systems are only updated once a day. An RFID system, however, provides an accurate real-time perspective on the actual stock situation.

EPCIS is connecting the silos
An EPCIS repository connects the various silos of stock-keeping systems along the supply chain and unlocks a unified stock pool for any sales channel.

Interoperability
It is possible to exchange EPCIS data among brands and retailers to activate a Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI).
