RETAIL ITEM INTELLIGENCE SOLUTIONS Omnichannel Operations Shoppers choices are no longer limited to what is on the store shelf. Retailers must deliver what their customers want, when they want it, or risk losing the sale. With the Impinj platform retailers can efficiently sell inventory distributed across all stores and distribution and fulfillment centers. By delivering a seamless experience with real-time inventory visibility that provides accurate information about every product, retailers can boost conversions and improve customer experience.

The Impinj platform allows retailers to verify operations at every step in the process of moving goods from manufacturer to store and into customers hands. Retailers can even confirm an item s authenticity to reduce counterfeiting. Pallets, cases and items are automatically identified as they move through the supply chain. The result? Accurate data that is automatically and instantly updated to support an agile and intelligent system that moves the right goods to the right location every time. Loss Identification and Prevention The same RAIN RFID tagging system that gives retailers in-depth inventory insight also contributes to loss prevention. With Impinj Item Intelligence, retailers can be alerted when items enter or leave specific zones within the store. Item identification, location and movement data helps retailers make smart decisions to protect stores and inventory while preventing lost sales due to lost inventory. The Impinj platform can also be used to identify whether an item is authentic or to access additional information about its source and supply route. Enhanced Shopper Experience Shoppers expect easy checkout, readily available information, and immediate customer service.

Retail Analytics Retailers rely on the insights they gain from the data online shoppers leave behind. The Impinj platform allows that same actionable data to be gathered from physical stores. Impinj Item Intelligence answers questions like: what items are brought into fitting rooms together or what digital content most often leads to conversion. Executives can also address operational concerns such as performance metrics for replenishment, conversion, and loss prevention.
RAIN RFID BASICS RAIN RFID is a form of wireless communication that uses radio waves and low-cost tag chips to identify and track objects. RAIN RFID takes the barcoding concept and digitizes it for the modern world, providing the ability to: Uniquely identify an individual item beyond just its product type Identify items without direct line-of-sight at a distance of up to 30 feet Identify thousands of items per second, simultaneously Identify the location of items to within 1.5 feet How it works: 1. Attach Impinj-powered RAIN RFID tags to items, boxes, and packages. 2. Use Impinj readers and gateways (handheld, overhead, or on walls) to wirelessly identify and locate tagged items in the store and throughout the supply chain. 3. See accurate, real-time data about inventory across stores and distribution centers in enterprise retail systems. The Impinj platform provides one infrastructure that supports many solutions.
