A full basket, scanned in one second. A full basket, scanned in one second — and a stock figure the store can trust.
A full basket, scanned in one second — and a stock figure the store can trust.
Who this is for : Retail operations and store directors, supply-chain and inventory managers, omnichannel and digital-transformation leads, loss-prevention managers.
THE PROBLEM
Every item is picked up, turned, aligned and beeped. The queue is the customer's last memory of the visit.
The system says the size is in stock. The shelf disagrees. The online order is cancelled and the customer is gone.
A real stocktake means closing, or paying a night team, and it happens a few times a year.
Losses appear as a number in a monthly report, with no event, no door and no time attached.
Click-and-collect and ship-from-store only work if the stock figure is right — and it usually isn't.
Nobody knows what is in the backroom versus on the shelf without walking it.
KEY FEATURES
The cashier opens a session on a chosen reader and antennas; the basket is read in one pass over MQTT, grouped by product type and price, and paid — no item-by-item scanning.
Every sale session and order is stored, with the EPCs that made it up — a real link between a sale and the physical items.
A handheld walk-through counts the sales floor and backroom in minutes, with the gap computed automatically against the registry.
Fixed readers at the store exit detect unsold tagged items leaving and raise an instant alarm.
Real-time views by zone, category and product type, including foreign tags that do not belong to the company.
Multi-site, role-based access to the same asset and product registry, with exportable reports.
