Wilkinson Fights Stock Loss With RFID

Published: October 17, 2013

Wilkinson, a leading British housewares and household goods retailer with more than 300 stores, is using an RFID-enabled solution to improve inventory control and loss prevention. Although the stores were equipped with security tagging and closed-circuit television (CCTV), they were still losing stock and unable to prove how the product was being stolen, apart from empty packets left around the store. Learn how the RFID system alerts the store to loss, when it happens, with real-time visibility about what is passing through the tills and what isn’t, before it is taken through the exit point. Understand how the system enables Wilkinson to identify who is stealing goods, when this occurs, through which doorway, and which products are being taken. Hear how the firm is using the collected data to prevent the return of products that were stolen from the stores without payment, as well as compiling a database on a store-by-store basis.
