Sporting Goods Retailer Scores Inventory Accuracy Gains With RFID

Published: November 18, 2019

Stadium AB is successfully using RFID technology to manage fast rotations of products ranging from kayaks to apparel to shoe laces. Headquartered in Sweden, Stadium AB sells retail sportswear and training clothes, as well as sports-related merchandise and has stores located throughout Europe. The firm tags products at its distribution center and uses sled readers to interrogate the tags as they are applied. The tags are read upon receipt and periodically throughout the days following, during inventory counts. The use of the technology has improved inventory accuracy to about 98 percent and provides in-store staff with confidence in what inventory they have onsite. Learn how the improved inventory accuracy allows the company to more easily adopt the omnichannel model of sales online since it can be sure products are where the software indicates they are.
