American Apparel Making A Bold Fashion Statement with RFID

Retail sales are tough enough. But when retailers face a declining general economy and downward pressure on consumer spending, they must squeeze as much efficiency as possible out of their vital supply chains.

For one international clothing seller, that means finding more efficient, automated methods to quickly and reliably replenish merchandise on store shelves.

American Apparel tested and deployed an item level RFID-based system that allowed store managers to track the movement of clothing items from ASN receiving, to back room put away, through restock staging and retail sales floor cycle counts and on to the point-of-sale execution.

By leveraging this advanced RFID solution from Xterprise, American Apparel reduced both labor costs and out-of-stocks, while driving improve sales and same-store performance.
