The firm, which owns and operates seven G-Star RAW stores on a franchise basis, began offering omnichannel sales to its customers in 2015, shining a spotlight on the need for inventory accuracy and the ability to quickly locate items. The RFID system tracks inventory availability and location in real time via overhead readers, and also allows sales associates to use their own smartphones to locate goods and facilitate routine merchandising tasks.

Tahari ASL Uses RFID for Internal Benefits Fashion firm Tahari ASL is implementing RFID at its distribution center. The company sells products online and via major clothing retailers, such as Nordstrom and Macy's. Its goal in using RFID is to speed up receiving and packing processes. Currently, 100 percent of its garments are being tagged at the source of manufacture, and goods are being received into inventory using RFID. The company aims to reduce, if not eliminate, shipping errors. Learn how Tahari ASL, which was asked to tag for customers, is using RFID internally to achieve benefits as well.
