Roll-out rapido, grazie alla soluzione di installazione autonoma
Per garantire un roll-out rapido e senza intoppi, Essentiel Antwerp utilizzerà il metodo Nedap di installazione autonoma. Questa metodologia consente a Essentiel di eseguire l’installazione rapidamente con la propria infrastruttura di roll-out e di formazione.

Peter Bruggeman, CFO di Essentiel Antwerp commenta: “Dopo due anni di ricerca approfondita e di sperimentazione con sistemi in locale, abbiamo concluso che la tecnologia RFID cloud-based fosse la strada da percorrere. Volevamo una soluzione cloud-based comprovata e di facile implementazione su scala globale, e per questo abbiamo contattato Nedap. La soluzione Nedap di installazione autonoma ci consente di perseguire la nostra espansione globale in tempi ridottissimi”.

Software-as-a-Service
La suite software Nedap !D Cloud è una soluzione Software-as-a-Service, ossia software fornito come servizio, sviluppata specificamente per l’introduzione della tecnologia RFID nel settore retail. Offre ai retailer il percorso più snello per implementare la tecnologia RFID e migliorare la propria accuratezza delle scorte fino a oltre il 98%. Essentiel Antwerp integra !D Cloud con Microsoft Dynamics Navision, per fornire informazioni dettagliate in tempo reale sui livelli delle scorte e sull’esatta posizione di ciascun articolo. L’integrazione favorisce inoltre il successo dei servizi omnicanale.

“Essentiel Antwerp aveva già un’ampia conoscenza del valore e dei casi d’uso della tecnologia RFID e dei motivi per cui è un fattore chiave per un retail all’avanguardia”, afferma Bruno Bakker, Business Developer RFID presso Nedap Retail Benelux. “La visibilità sulle scorte in tempo reale, offerta dall’RFID, consente a Essentiel Antwerp di sviluppare servizi omnicanali o di condividere facilmente le informazioni sulle scorte tra i vari punti vendita. Questo aiuta Essentiel ad avere sempre la disponibilità del prodotto giusto e a servire al meglio i propri clienti”.

Outdoor Voices selects Nedap to unlock best-in-class omnichannel services

/in , , , , /da

Boston, MA, September 5, 2019

Digital-first activewear brand implements RFID inventory management to improve web order fulfillment and on-shelf availability

Today Nedap announces that digital first activewear brand Outdoor Voices has selected !D Cloud, Nedap’s leading RFID inventory management platform. One of the key objectives within this deployment is achieving full inventory visibility. This implies that all items, whether located in the distribution center or in stores, are consolidated into one centralized inventory hub. This allows Outdoor Voices to further unlock omnichannel services, such as ship-from-store, without the need for separate stock in order to fulfill web orders and replenish stores.

“Outdoor Voices is a revolutionary brand that’s a prime example of fulfilling the omni-channel dream, merging the online and offline experience into one omni-channel”, says Rob Schuurman, President Retail Nedap Inc. “They selected the !D Cloud as a turn-key solution to further enable the omni-channel journey to their customers. One of the key objectives is achieving full and reliable inventory visibility throughout their retail chain to successfully deliver concepts like ship-from-store and BOPIS.”

Stores are community drivers and act as hubs for Recreation and #DoingThings
Nate Peterson, Vice President of Supply Chain at Outdoor Voices comments: “For us as a digitally native brand, it’s important that our online experience mirrors that of our shops and this plays an important part in our strategy of activating locally and amplifying digitally. Our job is ensuring that we have the key partners in place who can provide best-in-class experiences for our customers so that regardless of whether or not they purchase online or through our shops, we send them home with the apparel they’ve been looking for.”

RFID is a no-brainer
The Outdoor Voices team already had experience using RFID and knew the value it brings retail organizations. Kevin Harwood, Vice President of Technology at Outdoor Voices explains: “Nedap enables our store employees to better manage our omnichannel experience, where we can complete inventory counts with 99 percent accuracy and therefore expose our customers to every last unit available within our inventory. This coupled with the seamless integration of our newly implemented NewStore technology will ensure we can serve our customers wherever they are located, online or offline.”

Ship-from-store
As a digital-first company, online orders play a significant part of Outdoor Voices’ business. Order fulfillment therefore is crucial. One of the key results of the pilot project is that the amount of lost sales due to inaccurate stock dropped significantly. Web orders are located and picked from store shelves using Zebra RFID handhelds equipped with the !D Cloud app. Orders are then shipped from there when they are not available in the distribution center. In addition, in-store safety stocks can be lowered as full inventory visibility allows for efficient replenishment.
Besides the benefits to their omnichannel journey, the use of RFID allows for increased product availability and improved on-shelf availability that has ultimately transpired in a lift for Outdoor Voices.

Hilbert Dijkstra, Director of Business Development for !D Cloud Americas says: “Full inventory visibility paves the way to unmatched omnichannel services, allowing Outdoor Voices to continue their journey of building the No. 1 digital activewear brand. We are looking forward to continuing our partnership with this young and ambitious retailer, enabling them to do what they do best: grow their community and serve them in the best possible way. Wherever, on whichever social platform, and whenever they decide to buy”.

Samsøe & Samsøe sceglie la piattaforma RFID cloud-based di Nedap per il roll-out europeo

/in , , , , /da

Paesi Bassi, Groenlo, 29 agosto 2019

La completa visibilità sulle scorte migliora la disponibilità dei prodotti nei punti vendita e nella supply chain

Nedap, leader globale nelle soluzioni retail basate su RFID, ha annunciato oggi che Samsøe & Samsøe, tra i fashion retailer danesi con il maggior tasso di crescita, ha scelto !D Cloud, la piattaforma RFID leader di Nedap, per poter sviluppare l’implementazione RFID. Noto come marchio internazionale caratterizzato dal minimalismo scandinavo, Samsøe & Samsøe è pronto per espandere l’uso della tecnologia RFID oltre il punto vendita e sviluppare una strategia omnicanale orientata al futuro.

!D Cloud di Nedap offre a Samsøe & Samsøe la visibilità in tempo reale sui livelli delle scorte e la precisa ubicazione degli articoli all’interno del punto vendita, eliminando il disallineamento tra e-commerce e negozio. L’applicazione della tecnologia RFID migliora di oltre il 98% l’accuratezza delle scorte, con conseguente miglioramento della disponibilità dei prodotti e un incremento delle vendite.

“Uno dei valori più forti del nostro marchio è la semplicità”, afferma Tommy Nimand, CFO di Samsøe & Samsøe. “Questo si riflette nel design delle collezioni ed è anche un aspetto importante della nostra shopping experience. Il nostro obiettivo è raggiungere la completa visibilità delle scorte attraverso la tecnologia RFID, sia in magazzino che nei punti vendita. Vincere la sfida dell’esaurimento scorte, libera il pieno potenziale omnicanale e offre la migliore customer experience in tutte le declinazioni del retail. Vogliamo che i nostri clienti possano fare acquisti e fare resi ovunque, che abbiano comprato a Copenaghen o a Londra”.

Virtual Shielding™
Virtual Shielding™, la più recente innovazione della piattaforma !D Cloud di Nedap (in attesa di brevetto), apprezzata da Samsøe & Samsøe perché consente al personale del punto vendita di leggere facilmente le etichette RFID con dispositivi portatili e verificare automaticamente l’esatta posizione degli articoli con una notevole precisione. La tecnologia di “smart allocation” risolve l’inconveniente della lettura di etichette RFID nei locali adiacenti ed elimina la necessità di installare nei magazzini schermature fisiche realizzate con fogli di alluminio o vernici che bloccano l’RFID. Questa innovazione consente ai retailer di risparmiare tempo e denaro.

Disponibilità a magazzino garantita nel flagship store dal design pulito
Il nuovo flagship store Samsøe & Samsøe di Copenaghen è ispirato al concept minimalista. “Per creare un look essenziale e pulito esponiamo solo due articoli per modello. La tecnologia Virtual Shielding di Nedap rileva quali articoli si trovano al piano del punto vendita e quali in magazzino, consentendoci di esprimere un’estetica pulita e semplice nel punto vendita, offrire la migliore customer experience, e non perdere alcuna vendita a causa di un’imprecisione delle scorte”, afferma Nimand.

“Siamo orgogliosi di collaborare con Samsøe & Samsøe, un’azienda che persegue una strategia omnicanale innovativa al servizio del cliente”, ha dichiarato Elles te Boome-Harbers, Global Sales Business Developer di Nedap Retail. “Usando la tecnologia RFID basata sul cloud come “lingua comune” saremo in grado di omologare tutti i fornitori di etichette, dei sistemi ERP e dei POS dell’azienda, garantendo la tracciabilità dei singoli articoli lungo l’intera supply chain” spiega Elles te Boome-Harbers. “Non vediamo l’ora di uniformare ulteriormente i processi interni di Samsøe & Samsøe per soddisfare le esigenze e le richieste future dei loro clienti, a garanzia di un sistema di retailing realmente omnicanale”.

Sorveglianza elettronica degli articoli basata su RFID
Oltre alla tecnologia RFID per la gestione degli stock, gli ingressi dei negozi Samsøe & Samsøe sono dotati di sistemi EAS sospesi Nedap iD Top RFID-based. Questa soluzione consente di avere accessi ai punti vendita liberi e aperti, garantendo allo stesso tempo un elevato livello di protezione della merce esposta. Tutti gli articoli Samsøe & Samsøe sono etichettati alla fonte con tag RFID. I vantaggi che ne derivano sono molteplici: innanzitutto viene meno l’esigenza di utilizzare ulteriori sistemi di prevenzione delle differenze inventariali, si riducono i costi dell’attività di applicazione delle etichette, che quindi non viene più svolta in negozio, e si ha garanzia che il 100% della merce è etichettata.

Nedap integrates Zebra technology in !D Cloud RFID retail platform

/in , /da

The Netherlands, Groenlo, 25 April 2019 

Free choice of RFID devices allows retailers to use best of breed solutions for stock counting

Nedap announces that it has now completed the integration of all cornerstone Zebra RFID technology for retail in-store stock management within !D Cloud, Nedap’s leading RFID platform. The integrations spans the RFD2000 and RFD8500 series handheld RFID sleds, the TC5x and TC2x series Touch Mobile Computers and the ZD500r and ZT400 series RFID printers. 

Remarkable is deep level of support that !D Cloud offers for the RFD sled devices, where even the firmware updates are managed through the !D Cloud solution. For the printers !D Cloud uniquely offers in-app printing of individual RFID labels or complete shipment that come into a store without RFID labels for the manufacturer. Here the label template and Zebra Programming Language (ZPL) print commands are managed directly from the !D Cloud App via in-store Wi-Fi to the printers, thus eliminating the requirement and costs of label print software.  

Jeroen Struycken, Global Director of Business Development at Nedap Retail comments: “We see an increased demand for RFID solutions in retail and as the leading RFID provider we want to offer our customers the choice of the best products out there. By nature !D Cloud is hardware agnostic and support a multitude of RFID devices, but having the width of the Zebra equipment as a standard in our toolbox is a big plus.“ 

The recent Zebra TC20 PDA and RFD2000 handheld UHF RFID sled, combined with Nedap’s !D Cloud solution. will presented at the Nedap booth #5B60 at RetailEXPO 2019, which will be held at the Olympia in London on May 1-2.

America Today selects Nedap’s RFID solution

/in , , /da

First RFID rollout on the Dutch retail market

Groenlo, The Netherlands, 19 January 2019

Fashion retailer America Today, part of Coolinvestments, has decided to implement Nedap’s !D Cloud RFID software at its 69 stores in the Benelux countries to structurally raise stock accuracy and, as a result, guarantee product availability. The rollout is planned for the second half of 2019.

Looking for the business case
In the autumn of 2018, America Today started a pilot together with Nedap in 3 stores, to investigate whether there was actually sufficient basis for a business case. During the course of the pilot, a weekly stock count was performed using the !D Cloud software and a RFID handheld reader, which resulted in an improvement in stock accuracy from 75% on average to 98%.

Jonathan Kahn, CFO of America Today, explains: “We realised that our stock accuracy was going to be a huge bottleneck for our omnichannel ambitions. That is why we started investigating, together with Nedap, whether we had a business case, and it turned out that we actually had one. We opted to follow the GS1 standards, so as to offer the cooperation with all our Supply Chain partners more opportunities in the future. We are fully convinced that RFID will be a great help to us in gaining more insight into and control of our stock.”

Arjan Pruiksma, Business Developer at Nedap Retail, adds: “We are very pleased that America Today has become the first clothing retailer in the Netherlands to implement RFID with Nedap. Similarly to other retailers, America Today does not have reliable stock data, which prevents it from truly integrating its stores and online channels. We are really looking forward to starting this RFID journey together.”

Stock accuracy with RFID
Nedap’s !D Cloud software suite is a SaaS (Software as a Service) solution which was especially developed for the retail sector. The software provides insight into stock levels and the exact location of each item. This also provides the basis for omnichannel concepts such as Click & Collect and Ship-from-Store. Kahn: “Our biggest driver is omnichannel, but a technology like RFID really tempts you to do everything at once. We opted to place our initial focus on maximising results with the lowest possible level of complexity. The first results are very promising, and the stores are enthusiastic as well. We cannot wait to get started.”

Nedap’s !D Cloud software selected for first large-scale RFID deployment in the African retail market

/in , /da

Groenlo, The Netherlands, 11 January 2019

South African value retailer Ackermans has signed a three-year contract with Nedap for the supply of !D Cloud, Nedap’s leading RFID software platform, to its 800 stores in Southern Africa. Ackermans is the first retailer in Africa to roll out RFID on such a large scale. The primary objective of this endeavor is to increase in-store stock accuracy in order to optimize replenishment processes from warehouse to stores.

Marius Jordaan, Operations Systems Manager at Ackermans explains: “We know that the on-shelf availability of our apparel items is crucial in our large-format stores. If a certain size is missing, we will lose that sale. We understand that RFID is the ideal solution to raise stock accuracy and to guarantee that the full size range is always available on the sales floor.”

Proving the business case
The decision to roll out Nedap’s !D Cloud software was preceded by a proof-of-concept at ten stores to confirm the RFID business case. During the proof-of-concept, weekly RFID cycle counts resulted in approximately 98% stock accuracy. This led to improved product availability and, ultimately, increased sales.

Helmuth Luttig, Commercial Director comments: “We knew that selecting the correct platform partner would be critical to the success of our project, therefore after extensive market research, we selected Nedap as our long-term service provider. Key reasons for selecting Nedap is their ability to scale, their cost-effective software, their extensive roll-out experience, and their community-based feature development program.”

Mark Kasbergen, International Business Development Manager at Nedap Retail, concludes: “What makes this RFID deployment unique is that, together with our local partner StegTech, we have successfully managed to build a business case for value retail. This project clearly shows the profound benefits associated with increased in-store stock accuracy. We are proud of our achievement as well as the learnings gained by signing up the first Southern African retailer for a large-scale, source-tagged RFID rollout in the region”.
