SportZone opts for RFID roll-out following successful pilot
04/05/2016
Roll-out will start in September 2016 and will encompass electronic article surveillance hard tags, RIFD soft tags and integration with SportZone’s main IT systems.
Avery Dennison has said the technology will help SportZone “enhance consumer experiences and improve business and supply chain management”.
The decision to roll the technology out across the group comes after a pilot Avery Dennison ran with Tyco Retail Solutions to incorporate RFID solutions into apparel and footwear in two SportZone stores. This resulted in 99% stock accuracy, a 92% reduction in stock counting efforts, a 90% reduction in receiving efforts, and “a significant sales lift”, the technology company said.
