Acne Studios chooses Nedap’s iD Cloud for stock accuracy and omnichannel services

Groenlo, The Netherlands – May 9, 2017

Nedap has signed a global agreement with Acne Studios, a Swedish high-end fashion brand, for the supply of its RFID software platform iD Cloud. The global rollout to Acne Studios’ 45 stores in 12 countries was accomplished in only three months. Using iD Cloud, the retailer aims to increase in-store stock accuracy in their stores and enable omnichannel services.

Mattias Magnusson, CEO at Acne Studios, explains: “Our main challenge is how to unify the online and in-store experience and service in order to gain and maintain the trust of our customers. The only way to master this is by having a nearly 100% stock accuracy. Therefore, automating our stock-taking with RFID was the logical next step.”

Fast RFID implementation plan

The pace of the RFID implementation at Acne Studios was extraordinarily high, as it took only three months from the first proof-of-concept to the completion of the rollout. During this period, the ERP integration, staff training, and RFID labeling of the merchandise was completed.

Cloud solutions like iD Cloud, but also for other fields like CRM or e-commerce, enable us to scale much faster with only a fraction of the internal work load and ongoing costs

Magnusson adds: “Once we decided to move to RFID, we were looking for a cloud solution that fits our IT strategy. We believe that in today’s cloud-empowered world, it does not make sense to opt for an on-premises software solution. Cloud solutions like iD Cloud, but also for other fields like CRM or e-commerce, enable us to scale much faster with only a fraction of the internal workload and ongoing costs.”

iD Cloud: Accurate stock data & omnichannel enablement

The iD Cloud software suite is specifically developed for retail applications to raise the retailer’s stock accuracy and support store employees with processes like in-store replenishment. Detailed insights into the actual stock levels also make it possible to connect the stock of the physical stores with the retailer’s online platforms.
