The shop floor is where sales can be won or lost,
therefore reliable control and planning of stock
available for the customer is vital. Retail is a dynamic
environment requiring constant observation; therefore
accurate, near real-time stock visibility within the
supply chain and within the store is an essential factor
in an efficient retail operation. Faster product data
availability and transaction processing will greatly
improves profitability through better productivity,
freeing up time for better customer service.
Out-of-stock situations mean lost sales opportunities.
Stock management can be improved with better inventory
management systems facilitated by item level tagging
using RFID devices and readers enabling detailed product
visibility from warehouse to checkout.
By incorporating such systems, market and buyer
behaviour fluctuations in stock can be spotted quickly
and acted upon appropriately and efficiently from the
top end of the supply chain.
