"As economic uncertainty erodes consumer spending, retailers must have the right merchandise available when the consumer is ready to buy. RFID provides the visibility to ensure it is there," said Rob van der Merwe, Chairman, President and CEO, Checkpoint Systems. "Retailers also face much higher capital costs and need to reduce inventory levels while maintaining shelf availability. RFID enables them to achieve both these objectives."
"Charles Vögele recognizes the value of RFID and has moved aggressively to implement a solution that will improve its top- and bottom-line performance while enhancing the shopper's in-store experience," continued van der Merwe.
Charles Vögele's Beckmann added, "Our adoption of RFID is transforming our business and ensuring that our customers find what they are looking for. In the fast-moving fashion industry, responding to the expectations of customers is the difference between success and failure."
After successfully deploying the solution at its Slovenian stores, Charles Vögele is now planning to implement the solution more broadly across its global supply chain and stores throughout Europe.
