I would argue that the biggest benefit received from Retail Solution's assistance is the ability to demonstrate the potential return on investment for RFID to my own internal management. I had the opportunity to present Retail Solution's first report to my Sr. Management and Directors...the result has been overwhelming. What to date has been viewed as another expense of doing business with retailers, suddenly emerged as a tool to increase productivity, accountability, and the bottom line.

Many consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies are tagging pallets, cases, displays and products at the item level to follow trading partner mandates, experiment with RFID as a technology and support internal and shared processes. The outcome is potentially revolutionary: increased visibility into the upstream and downstream supply chain, near real-time ability to intervene and correct problems and intelligence on how to prevent issues from reoccurring.

Retail Solutions has developed an industry-leading solution that provides both detailed and high-level visibility into RFID events. Retail Solutions RFID Analytics solution transforms RFID sightings into value-added information and enables customers to turn their RFID investment into a source of value.
