An excellent shopping experience starts with ensuring that products are always available, and orders can be fulfilled from any stock location.
Nedap’s leading RFID-based stock visibility platform enables brands and retailers to make every step in their supply chain visible, providing business benefits such as process efficiency, shipment accuracy, and stock visibility.
The result: end-to-end, real-time stock visibility, and 100% accuracy of shipments. This can prevent costly errors and ultimately improves customer experience.
As a core, !D Cloud 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 !D Cloud a perfect solution to keep track of all item movements and status changes.

Typically, retailers start their RFID deployment in the stores to raise the stock accuracy to 98+%. However, once all merchandise is tagged with RFID labels, it is an easy step to apply the technology in logistics. Optimizing the distribution processes by applying RFID read-points, e.g., for inbound and packing (outbound) verification, gives valuable insights into the flow of goods and creates stock visibility in your supply chain.
Customers expect their desired items to be available anytime and anywhere – no matter if they browse in a physical store or online. With so many shopping choices, retailers have to offer multiple options – such as ship-to-home, ship-to-store, ship-from-store, click-and-collect, and a range of return choices – to compete. However, it is a huge challenge to keep this promise if you do not know where your inventory sits across your enterprise.
A full, customer-centric omnichannel strategy requires agile order and pick-up/delivery services and needs frictionless return options. However, allowing customers to return items to any store in any country has consequences for the stock data and reverse logistics processes. Here, the !D Cloud EPCIS repository can bring the needed visibility regarding the stock levels and locations.
In the omnichannel world, products are not only shipped from a DC to store locations but also the other way round and dynamically transferred between stores. Customers have the chance to purchase and return products at any point in the supply chain. Since the location and the status of items are rapidly changing, stock information can quickly get outdated and inaccurate. Thanks to RFID and !D Cloud, it is possible to easily, seamlessly, and efficiently capture all inventory movements on a unique item level.
Our certified ecosystem partners have vast experience in designing, engineering, and installing customize RFID components. Generally, !D Cloud is hardware agnostic and integrates with all forms of RFID read-points (tunnels, desktop stations, handhelds, printers).
!D Cloud is the central system to keep track of all stock information, item movements and status changes. Consequently, the !D Cloud RFID platform enables to share information about the physical movement and status of products as they travel throughout the supply chain, both within and across enterprises.
