Using Ship-from-Store to Offset Forecast Inaccuracy in Apparel

Analyst Insight: Retailers are starting to use brick-and-mortar stores as distribution nodes, to connect demand with inventory in the most flexible and cost-effective way.

RFID Needs to Make Its Case Beyond the Retail Apparel

There is no argument today about the impact that retail/apparel and footwear have had on the passive UHF market.

In our recent research of RFID use among retailers, the retailers indicated an interest in expanding their use of RFID in apparel. And the tag industry that supports retailers is forecasting numbers between 23 percent to 35 percent growth in apparel use, as well. More retailers will be tagging more items in the next few years.
