Item Status Management

Why RFID for item-level and e-commerce status management?

Retailers are offering seamless shopping experiences across all sales channels. As part of the omnichannel strategy, customers can conveniently buy products online and pick them up in-store, a practice commonly known as BOPIS (Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store) or "Click and Collect." To avoid these items being registered during an RFID count in the stores or at the RFID-based loss prevention system, we can assign certain statuses directly in the warehouse that exclude them from the "sellable stock." When online orders leave the distribution center, all articles are seamlessly scanned with a dedicated RFID read point, and the item-level status is transferred to the iD Cloud EPCIS repository.
