Focused RFID Solutions: The Right Fit for Apparel and Footwear
6/6/2008
Focused, carefully managed RFID initiatives designed to accomplish specific business goals are already producing significant, measurable benefits for the apparel and footwear industry. Item-level tags and in-store deployments are addressing some of the industry's most basic challenges, including out-of-stock levels, inventory accuracy, and helping customers quickly and easily find the size, style and color that they're looking for.
RFID's speed, accuracy and operational applications are being demonstrated in a growing number of real-world retail deployments. For example, item-level tagging is making daily cycle counts-traditionally so time consuming and labor-intensive they take place only two
to four times a year--not just possible but practical. These and other RFID benefits are creating sales lifts ranging from 5 to 20 percent across a wide range of deployments.
