Manufacturers, retail brands, primary producers and service providers in Australia and New Zealand have yet to unlock the full potential of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). At Look Inventory Solutions we want to empower all companies to do amazing things with RFID technology
Data released from IHL Group at NRF 2023, shows that during 2022, retailers already using RFID reported 83% higher sales growth and 80% higher profit growth than their non RFID peers. In these companies RFID is deployed to support increased supply chain throughput, inventory accuracy and visibility to deliver omnichannel capabilities of Click & Collect, Buy Online Pick Up Instore (BOPIS), Self Check Out (SCO), Curbside Collect and future CX trends.
It is critical that we see the same level of RFID adoption in Australia and New Zealand to keep pace with sales and profit performance of global competitors, supply chain challenges and everchanging customer expectations.
