Why RFID Matters for Retailers

What is RFID? RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) uses radio waves to identify and track tagged products wirelessly, without requiring individual barcode scans. In retail, this enables faster stocktakes, improved inventory accuracy and greater visibility of stock across stores, stockrooms and warehouses.

By integrating RFID technology with LS Central, retailers can streamline inventory processes, reduce manual effort and operating costs, and make better-informed stock management decisions.

Faster Stocktakes

Identify multiple RFID-tagged products without scanning each barcode individually. Complete stocktakes faster, reduce manual labour and lower the operational costs of inventory counting.

Improved Stock Accuracy

Identify stock discrepancies more efficiently and reduce errors associated with manual counting. Improve inventory reliability, reduce unnecessary replenishment and minimise avoidable costs.

Better Stock Visibility

Gain clearer visibility of RFID-tagged inventory across stores and warehouses. Support better replenishment decisions, improve product availability and reduce excess stockholding costs.

How RFID Works with LS Central

RFID technology uses electronic tags and compatible readers to identify individual products without requiring direct line-of-sight barcode scanning.

By connecting RFID-enabled processes with LS Central, retailers can improve stock visibility and streamline inventory operations. The exact functionality depends on the hardware, configuration and integration required.

RFID Applications for LS Central

From receiving goods to managing stock across multiple locations, RFID can help retailers reduce manual processes and improve inventory visibility.

Goods Receiving

Identify multiple RFID-tagged products during goods receiving, helping retailers verify deliveries and reduce manual scanning.

Faster Stocktakes

Read multiple tagged items without scanning every barcode individually, supporting faster stock counts and reconciliation.

Stock Transfers

Support the identification and verification of tagged stock moving between stores, warehouses and other locations.

POS & Checkout

Explore RFID-assisted item identification at checkout to reduce manual scanning, subject to POS integration and configuration.

Returns Management

Use RFID identification to support product verification during returns and help maintain accurate inventory records.

Loss Prevention

Improve the identification of stock discrepancies and support loss prevention processes using RFID-enabled inventory data.

Implementation considerations: RFID functionality depends on compatible hardware, tag selection, LS Central configuration and any required integration or development. iDyam Solutions can help assess and design the appropriate solution.

RFID Hardware & Technology

The right combination of RFID tags, readers and integration technology for your retail environment.

Fixed RFID Readers

Fixed readers, such as the Zebra FX7500, support automated RFID identification at designated reading points. Two-port and four-port configurations allow different antenna arrangements.

RFID Antennas

Compatible UHF antennas, including circularly polarised models such as the A5010, help provide RFID coverage within selected operational areas. Placement and positioning are important.

Handheld RFID Readers

Portable RFID devices can support stocktakes, item searches and stock verification across stores and warehouses, subject to compatible software and integration.

RFID Tags & Labels

Compatible RFID tags provide unique identification for individual products. Tag selection depends on the merchandise, packaging, environment and operational requirements.

Solution design: iDyam Solutions can help assess hardware requirements, reader positioning, RFID workflows and integration with LS Central. Hardware compatibility and the required functionality are validated during solution design.

Our RFID Implementation Approach

From initial assessment to a successful pilot and wider rollout, iDyam Solutions helps retailers introduce RFID technology with a practical, structured approach.

STEP 01

Discover & Assess

Understand existing stock processes, operational challenges and business objectives.

STEP 02

Design the Solution

Identify suitable tags, readers, locations and LS Central integration requirements.

STEP 03

Pilot & Validate

Test with real products and workflows, validating accuracy, performance and operational benefits.
