RFID enables rolling inventory and boosts accuracy up to 99%, keeping stock levels high and consistent
With real-time inventory visibility, stores can confidently fulfill online orders and support self-service checkouts -essential for omnichannel success.
For wholesalers, RFID enables unattended outlets closer to the customer, with full control over both inventory and user access. This accuracy not only prevents lost sales but also ensures continuous, efficient stock management.
The power of RFID for Retail and Wholesale
RFID is a fast and cost-efficient way to optimize stock levels, ensure availability, and reduce capital tied up in inventory. It’s no wonder that getting a real-time view of any warehouse or store’s inventory is no longer a dream—RFID-enabled inventory management is now a reality in both Retail and Wholesale.
When implemented correctly, RFID not only tracks individual items, pallets, or crates, but also helps inventory levels correct themselves automatically by capturing accurate data on inbound and outbound flows.
Modern track & trace solutions REDUCE WASTE in the form of
MONEY: Missed sales and manual fixes drain profits—RFID stops the loss at its source.
EXTRA MILEAGE: Reducing shipment errors helps avoid unnecessary back-and-forth deliveries.
TIME: RFID stock counting is up to 100× faster than with barcodes—saving days during inventory.
EXCESS IN PRODUCTION: Accurate stock data with RFID prevents overproduction—some businesses have cut in-store inventory by 75%, saving resources and capital.
Automatic Goods Receipt
Retail Outlets, distribution centers and warehouses, can all benefit from touch-free goods receiving. With RFID, manual scanning is replaced by automatic registration of incoming items. In-bound goods can be logged at item, box, pallet, or cage level—depending on the required level of detail.
Inventory
Inaccurate stock levels have a direct impact on the company bottom line. Out-of-stock situations lead to loss of sale and mistakes to replenishment process, which in turn may worsen the out-of-stock issues and cause overstocking of given items. When item-level RFID is applied in product receiving, sales and shipment processes, stock accuracy automatically improves. The need for manual inventory counts diminishes and the actual stock counting also speeds up as RFID-based stock take is far faster than a barcode-based stock take.
Unmanned Store
A service concept that offers a customised and fully operable storage for customers 24/7 gains popularity all the time. RFID manages the access control of authorised personnel as well as items they pick from the storage facility. For the first time brand owners have full visibility to consumption of the items they offer and their customers full availability for materials. No processes need be stopped due to availability issues anymore.
Shipment Verification
Accurate shipments are key to ensuring product availability in stores and keeping customers satisfied. RFID systems may verify orders during packing, and RFID tunnels or shipment verification stations confirm that all required goods are included before dispatch. At the loading dock, RFID readers automatically detect what’s being shipped and compare it with order data—triggering alerts for any mismatch. This reduces manual checks, speeds up loading, and ensures only the right items reach the right destination.
Tracking Returnable Packaging / RTIs
Fresh groceries like vegetables, bakery goods, or chilled items often arrive at stores in reusable crates or containers. These RTIs travel between suppliers and stores daily, forming the backbone of grocery logistics. RFID and RTLS automate tracking of these assets, reducing loss and ensuring fast RTI turnaround—so stores stay stocked and cold chain integrity is maintained.
