From your labels to a live count

A rollout that starts with how you work today. Nothing goes on your shelves until it has been tested on your real stock.

  1. Walk-through

    Day 1

    We visit your stockroom or warehouse, look at what you store, how it's labeled and how it moves, and which system holds your numbers today.

    You get a short plan: what to tag, which tags, where readers go, and what the software has to connect to.

  2. Tag tests on your stock

    Week 1

    Metal, liquids and dense packaging change how RFID reads. We put candidate tags on your real items and measure read rates at the distances you need.

    Only tags that read reliably make it into the plan, with the numbers to prove it.

  3. RFID in your labels

    Week 1–2

    Your label printer is swapped or upgraded to an RFID model that encodes the chip while it prints. Your label design, barcodes and SKUs stay the same.

    For assets that never get a printed label, like tools or IT equipment, we use rugged hard tags.

  4. Readers where they help

    Week 2

    Handheld readers for counts and searches. Optional fixed readers at doors, docks and cages that log every item going in or out on their own.

    Start with one handheld; add fixed readers only where they pay off.

  5. Software and connections

    Weeks 2–6

    We set up the dashboard and build what's specific to you: check-in and check-out, audits, alerts, reports. Then we connect it to your ERP, POS, accounting system or spreadsheet.

  6. Tagging day and training

    Go-live

    We tag the stock you already have, walk the first full count with your team and train the people who'll use it daily.

    Then monthly support: updates, new reports, more readers or sites as you grow.

What's inside an RFID label

It looks like the label you print today. Between the paper and the glue sits a paper-thin antenna with a chip the size of a grain of sand. The printer writes the item's number into the chip as it prints the barcode.

No battery: the reader's radio signal powers the chip for the instant it answers.

How far, how fast, how accurate

Straight answers, with where each number comes from. In the pilot we measure them on your own items.

Range

A Zebra RFD40 handheld reads up to 12 m (40 ft) on its spec sheet. When counting shelves, plan on 1 to 4 m. Phones reading NFC need about 4 cm. Zebra spec

Speed

The reader handles 1,300+ tags a second; walking is the slow part. In real counts that's roughly 500 to 1,000 items a minute, so 5,000 items take 10 to 20 minutes. SimplyRFID

Accuracy

Levi's in Brazil reported store inventory accuracy going from about 67% to 99.78% with RFID. Metal, liquids and tag placement lower it, which is why we test tags first. Impinj

RFID or NFC? Usually both

They're two kinds of the same idea. We use each where it's best, often in the same building.
