In our Feb. 24th post I provided information about the key drivers for RFID implementation in the retail apparel market.  As a follow-up to that post, today I’m providing a link to download a very informative Motorola Solutions Industry Brief that examines the impact RFID can have on the retail fashion market.  This industry brief provides additional information about the benefits of RFID solutions and real-world case studies.  Download the Motorola Industry Brief “Retail Fashion Market RFID Solutions” to learn more.

In past posts we’ve provided information about the growing adoption of RFID in the retail apparel market.  According to Motorola Solutions, key drivers for RFID pilots and implementations include:

• Up to 98%+ inventory accuracy on the sales floor
• Category sales increases from 4% to 14%
• Category inventory/working capital reductions of 6% to 12%
• Increased margins around .02% with faster turns
• Customer satisfaction increases due to better on shelf availability and faster check out
• Internal shrink reductions up to 40%
• Labor productivity increases. Ability to count up to 25,000 items per hour. Receiving and cycle count labor can be reduced by 80-90%
• Average 9 month ROI

Item-level RFID solutions enable retailers to “count better.”  The University of Arkansas found an average inventory accuracy of 65% without RFID.  It’s no wonder that increasing inventory accuracy is one of the primary drivers for RFID implementation.
