Evolving Inventory Management Through Item-Level Tagging

Retailers are currently expected to purchase a total of 300 million RFID labels in 2010. This can be attributed to a market shift from more compliance-based tracking to item-level tagging, as well as more affordable tag and reader costs. For apparel retailers, this is critical in order to ascertain how much inventory is available on the floor. For example, what sizes and colors need to be restocked, and what inventory is available in stock rooms with a simple scan of a RFID tag?
