Sensormatic Solutions, a global leader in retail technology under Johnson Controls, has unveiled a groundbreaking partnership that promises to revolutionize inventory accuracy and management. Retailers who use Sensormatic Solutions' TrueVUE Cloud inventory intelligence platform can now integrate it seamlessly with Keonn Technologies’ AdvanTrack-600™ real-time location system. This innovative collaboration enhances visibility into product locations, movements, and stock levels, elevating the return on investment in radio-frequency identification (RFID) and offering retailers a more comprehensive view of their inventory.
“As customer expectations for seamless omnichannel experiences grow, simply knowing what’s in stock isn’t enough anymore. Retailers need to know exactly where each item is within their operations,” explained Myron Burke, the solution management leader at Sensormatic Solutions. “The AdvanTrack-600’s autonomous, overhead RFID reading capabilities provide retailers with near real-time, accurate location data of merchandise. This ensures that every customer, whether in-store or online, receives exactly what they ordered, boosting confidence in fulfillment accuracy.”
One of the key advancements of this integration is the introduction of Hands-Free Cycle Counting, a process designed to optimize replenishment strategies. By leveraging real-time location services and the advanced Gen2X RFID reader technology, this solution takes inventory management to a new level. The AdvanTrack-600, with its cutting-edge sensor technology, integrates effortlessly with existing RFID systems, allowing for continuous, automated tracking of merchandise as it moves between different zones in the store.
When combined with the powerful end-to-end inventory analytics capabilities of TrueVUE Cloud, this technology helps retailers stay on top of stock levels, reduce shrinkage, and optimize replenishment strategies. The near-continuous data flow from the system ensures that stockouts are minimized, and retailers can better predict demand fluctuations, leading to smarter, more agile operations.
Craig Schlecht, Global Vice President of Sales at Keonn, emphasized the significant impact of this collaboration on retail operations: “Retailers who have already invested in RFID technology understand that maximizing inventory is crucial for profitable growth. By integrating our advanced real-time location system with Sensormatic’s existing solutions, we are enabling retailers to leverage their data more effectively, all while reducing the strain on their staff. This partnership is a testament to the innovative thinking driving retail towards more efficient and rewarding customer experiences.”
This partnership represents a crucial step forward in optimizing the retail supply chain, giving businesses the tools they need to better serve their customers while reducing operational complexities.
