Inditex Group, the fashion retailers, awarded Tyco a chain wide contract for RFID-based inventory intelligence. The Tyco product is deployed in 700 Zara stores across 22 countries (pictured is the store on the Champs Elysees in Paris). This gives the retailer details of merchandise styles, colours and sizes is critical. This enables Inditex to create merchandise plans and tailored product assortments.
Real-time inventory visibility supports Inditex’s omni-channel objectives, so the right products are in the right place at the right time.
According to Pablo Isla, Inditex President, “Implementation of this next-generation technology is the one of the most significant changes ever in how the Group’s stores operate.”
Inditex is using Tyco’s Sensormatic dual RFID and Acousto-Magnetic (RFID/AM) hard tags and detachers at the point-of-sale (PoS). Tyco is also managing Inditex’s tag recirculation that allows re-use of the tags.
Nancy Chisholm, President, Tyco Retail Solutions, said: “Inditex has been a valued customer of Tyco for many years, and we are delighted to learn about the significant operational results and success with the deployment of our RFID solutions. As a world renowned fashion retailing leader, Inditex constantly delivers fresh assortments to attract customers. Now, having real-time visibility to their inventory enables Inditex to keep pace with fashion trends and meet discriminating shopper needs.”
