Retail RFID Inventory Management Solutions

Companies around the world are leveraging item-level RFID enabled solutions and seeing impressive results. RFID solutions can dramatically improve inventory accuracy and visibility.

RFID Asset Management Solutions

Excellis offers companies the ability to enhance asset visibility through real-time location, to increase asset utilization and to obtain vital asset health monitoring whenever and wherever they are. This gives companies the ability to accurately maintain inventory, enhance logistics, and drive down operational costs.

Tagging not only the individual items but also the containers helps speed up handling processes while reducing inventory errors. This improves visibility in the distribution centers and increases goods in transit. Overall RFID helps reduce inventory and counterfeiting in the end-to-end supply chain.

Many companies today have difficulty in tracking their assets throughout the Supply Chain. This includes finding assets, determining asset condition, performing maintenance on assets and overall asset utilization. It is typically a manual process that is not only labor intensive, but also very costly and ineffective. Lack of asset utilization leads to the loss of assets and affects the bottom line for companies globally.

Our consultative approach allows our RFID Practice experts to provide business intelligence and best practices for your organization. We utilize easy-to-use functional systems that give the users the ability to easily capture and report asset data.
