The cost of product inventory is the largest cost for retailers and having the correct amount of inventory on-hand and the right mix is essential to improve revenues and margins as well as customer satisfaction. Mobile computers enable retailers to keep accurate inventory levels through cycle counts as well as complete physical inventories. The information gained from these inventory activities can be combined with sales data to improve ordering and inventory stock levels.
Inventory information collected via mobile computers can also be analyzed to determine the best-selling sizes or colors of particular items so you can ensure that you have the products your customers want. Effective data capture technologies like bar code scanners and RFID readers deliver improved visibility wherever it is needed, from the backroom to the sales floor.

In our Oct. 11th post I provided information about retail applications that utilize 2D imagers to capture information from the PDF417 bar code on the back of customer’s driver’s licenses. This type of application also provides many benefits to hotels and resorts and can help to speed up guest check-in and increase security for valet parking.
Guest Check-In-streamline registration by scanning the PDF417 on a driver’s license to automatically populate the registration form. This increases customer satisfaction and reduces wait times.
Valet Parking-capturing the photo on a driver’s license allows attendants to verify guest identity when retrieving vehicles to boost security.

RFID and GPS are powerful technologies on their own, but many companies are realizing the benefits of combining these two technologies to enable detailed tracking of items. Products with RFID tags can be read as they exit the warehouse or distribution center and can continue to be monitored via GPS within vehicles, providing improved visibility. GPS-enabled RFID readers can also be used to record additional information, such as point of origin coordinates, which can be loaded to the RFID tag. In the four walls and on the road, combining RFID and GPS can provide end-to-end visibility for food traceability, asset tracking and supply chain management.

Recent surveys conducted by the Aberdeen Group found that “organizations that have successfully deployed mobile solutions indicate that they have been able to eliminate an average of 41 minutes of non-productive administrative work from the daily lives of every service technician.” Leveraging mobile tools within a service organization reduces return service visits, overtime costs and the time spent completing paperwork and boosts productivity and efficiency. In fact, the survey also found that “paperwork required for completion of each service task was reduced from 2.6 to 0.8 forms per task with the use of a mobile solution.”

Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) is a technology used in many retail stores to prevent shoplifting. Special tags are affixed to merchandise and must be deactivated during purchase or an alarm will sound to notify store associates that an item with an active tag was detected at the exit. RFID enhances this scenario because it can provide specific information about items as they pass through the exit reader. If a business uses RFID for tracking inventory, they will be alerted in real-time as to what items are missing and how many items need to be reordered to replenish stock. In addition to real-time information about items that need to be reordered or restocked, this also provides valuable insight into the items most often stolen. Because of this, the powerful combination of RFID and EAS has been gaining interest with many retailers as a way to increase merchandise visibility, reduce shrink and prevent shoplifting.
