Leading apparel retailers and department stores have declared that this is the time for RFID, and are increasingly building on successful RFID pilots and expanding their deployments to reap chain-wide benefits. How do retailers scale from a single handheld RFID reader to chain-wide inventory management and loss prevention? How do vertically integrated retailers incorporate RFID from source manufacturing and the supply chain through to the store? What do successful enterprise RFID deployments have in common? This session will walk attendees through best practices from real-world retail deployments in North America and Europe, and will address such practical issues as rollout planning, tagging strategy, making the business case for integrating inventory management and loss prevention, and integrating RFID data with existing back-end systems.
