A positive shopping experience requires full supply chain visibility. So you need to know exactly where products come from, how they got here, and where they are now. iD Cloud Supply Chain makes it easy and efficient for brands and retailers to automate product tracking in warehouses, logistics hubs, and distribution centers. Our solutions will guarantee accurate shipments and provide real-time inventory insights.
Ensuring that products are responsibly sourced, sustainably managed, and always available drives an excellent omnichannel experience.
In a world where different sales channels (such as stores, e-com, and online platforms) are connected, it becomes crucial to know where products are. iD Cloud Supply Chain makes products visible across their entire lifecycle. It provides one single point of stock in real-time, which unlocks unseen insights into the provenance, journey, and real-time location of inventory.
Using RFID makes handling processes in warehouses and distribution centers more efficient by leveraging the technology’s capabilities to capture products in bulk and distance. As a result, product data is captured seamlessly, efficiently, and up to 25 times faster than manual handling.
iD Cloud Supply Chain and the deployment of RFID read points allow for the automation and optimization of data capturing, verification steps, and seamless integration with the merchandise flow.
Customers don’t accept products being unavailable or inaccurately delivered. So timely and accurate shipping is vital.
iD Cloud Supply Chain automatically verifies shipments’ accuracy and captures all inventory movements on a unique item level. So the entire supply chain can be managed based on accurate stock information.
Achieving total stock visibility is the foundation for unlocking “buy & return anywhere” concepts and enabling circularity.
With iD Cloud Supply Chain, it is possible to track products’ location in real-time, trace their provenance and manage their status as they travel through the supply chain. In addition, it connects supply chain partners, internal departments, and even consumer apps to one system holding all stock information in a central repository.
iD Cloud is an open stock visibility platform, built on state-of-the-art technologies and with a multi-tenant design. The cloud-hosted platform ensures high availability, best-of-breed security, and cutting-edge performance. It is built on open APIs and compliant with GS1 standards such as GS1 EPCIS, GS1 Tag Data Standards, GS1 Digital Link, GTIN, and SGTIN to ensure that it can integrate seamlessly.
As a core, the iD Cloud platform includes an EPCIS repository that holds all EPC read-events, wherever they have been created or whenever the status of an EPC changes (e.g., going to a new location). This makes iD Cloud a perfect solution for tracking all item movements, stock positions, and status changes.
The suite of iD Cloud Supply Chain applications covers the RFID use cases in warehouses and distribution centers. It includes process templates, business logic, and reports. And, because no process is the same, all workflows and user interfaces are fully customizable to how you work best using our low-code environment.
Our platform runs on reliable open APIs seamlessly integrating with your existing IT systems. We automatically process, validate, and exchange data through various customizable interfaces. Existing integrations include Dynamics 365, Manhattan, Odoo, Itsperfect, and SAP.
Our scalable “Plug & Trace” approach connects RFID devices directly over the cloud. It ensures that read points can be controlled, configured, and updated remotely. iD Cloud is hardware agnostic and integrates with various RFID devices, such as tunnels, desktop stations, handhelds and printers.
Existing integrations include Impinj, Jadak, Keonn, Nordic ID, TSL and Zebra.
Together with our team of experts, we select the optimal RFID components based on our guiding principle of robustness, ease of use, and scalability. As part of our proven deployment methodology, we will take you through your RFID project's design, realization, and implementation. Hardware selection and testing, workflow design, and overall system integration are included.
Stock visibility is vital for ensuring a positive omnichannel shopping experience since it enables all channels to access the stock of all locations. In addition, today's consumers ask where their products were made, by who, and whether these people were paid fairly and treated with dignity and respect.
iD Cloud makes every step in retail supply chains visible, providing business benefits such as process efficiency, shipment accuracy, and inventory visibility. The result: end-to-end, real-time inventory visibility, and 100% accuracy of shipments. Costly errors will become a thing of the past, and customers will always enjoy a great shopping experience.

iD Cloud Supply Chain enables brands and retailers to streamline processes in warehouses, distribution centers, and even at the source with RFID technology.
Ensuring customers get what they ordered: shipments are checked with RFID-enabled read-points after picking. As a result, e-com orders are verified seamlessly, and customers receive the right products without additional manual effort.
Seamless shopping, across all channelsAutomatically verify outgoing shipments so that every unit shipped is correct. Making sure that sales channels are supplied accurately can boost customer loyalty. Furthermore, brands can prevent chargebacks from wholesale clients claiming incorrect deliveries.
Make sure shipments are correctPrevent supplier fraud and instantly spot what is missing. Identify under-deliveries or other errors to ensure that the distribution center can operate based on accurate inventory information. Quickly and efficiently check all goods received at the unique item level and compare them to the goods expected from the factory and returns from stores.
Returns handling enables seamless product registration to add the items to the stock immediately.
Resell what just has been returnedPrint RFID labels in the DC. For example, in the case of seasonal carry-overs or returned articles without RFID labels. RFID printers handle print jobs from a barcode scan or an external order.
Combining unique product identities with its destined channel or partner makes it easy to verify if products are sold in the right market segment or channel and identify misuse.
Control brand and distribution integrityCustomers increasingly expect to see where an item is coming from (and how it was produced), which requires secure tracking-and-tracing possibilities. With item-level identification, e.g., Digital Product Passports (DPP), it is possible to monitor the product journey and uncover its impact on the environment.
Stock information in distribution centers can be quickly outdated or inaccurate. RFID-based cycle counting can increase stock accuracy to ensure stock levels are correct and information systems can operate with the right data.
