This control of the inventory increases the sales and therefore the benefits because prevents the lack of customers’ favourite products on the shelf, while also preventing the excessive accumulation of products that don’t have as much success, reducing that way the expenses.

Big benefits of RFID

Avoiding counterfeiting, lost of products and thefts thanks to the rigorous traceability of RFID tags

The RFID tags attached to clothing and accessories allow their tracking from the factory to the final consumer. In addition, the client can verify the authenticity of the product he has purchased, thanks to applications that allow them to scan the RFID tag and obtain the information that the brand stored in it. Thanks to the benefits of RFID, the chain of custody of the product is much safer and more effective because it prevents theft and losses. When a product carries an RFID tag, the system follows it and triggers the events that warn of possible exits from the controlled area. The constant update of the route of an item keeps the system informed of where that item is located.

With RFID technology for fashion, you can offer to the client customized attention to their needs and preferences

So, they can offer customised offers more adequate with the preferences and needs of the client.
