This award will be given to the end-user company that has demonstrated the best use of RFID technology to improve its retail operations. The finalists, selected by an independent panel of judges, will each have 15 minutes to make a presentation. The finalists are:
- Lululemon, for its use of RFID to ensure that all inventory available in the store is optimally represented on the store floor through real-time replenishment, and to establish a foundation of accurate, real-time inventory available to satisfy guests’ needs across stores at any time
- Tegu, for its use of RFID to enable its consigned inventory strategy, which allowed it to gain more shelf space and increase sales
- Tesco, for its use of RFID to improve on-shelf availability, while at the same time freeing up staff to spend more time servicing customers
