A UHF RFID system, provided by Zebra Technologies, has enabled the retailer to reduce its non-compliance of display items at 180 stores, from 20 percent down to almost none.
Aug 21, 2017—
Department store chain Bon-Ton Stores may investigate new ways to roll out radio frequency identification for merchandise visibility, after proving gains in display compliance and sales at its 180 stores’ shoes and luggage departments. Throughout the past two years, the company has been deploying the technology to track whether the shoes and luggage it had on sale were available on display.
The system launched in 2014 as a three-store pilot for display shoes, then expanded to other locations in 2015, and then to the luggage department last year. Bon-Ton is now investigating other applications to track some high-value products in other departments. The solution, known as Inventory Management, is provided by Zebra Retail Technology Solutions and consists of handheld MC3190-Z RFID readers, as well as UHF RFID tags, managed by Bon-Ton Stores’ own software.
