Xterprise resources

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.

At Xterprise, we believe to maintain competitive advantage organizations must now more than ever gain a precise, current and insightful understanding of their business environments. Then they must leverage that knowledge to better collaborate, respond faster, and exert stronger control over their enterprise activities. To achieve this goal a business must transform to a High Definition Enterprise™.

American Apparel was looking for a smarter way to meet their goals and, from what they had learned, item-level RFID looked like precisely the solution they wanted. Given the control the company has over its own manufacturing, distribution and retail operations, the plan was to reap the benefits of RFID not only on the retail floor, but throughout its closed loop supply chain.
