UPM Raflatac and partners Nokia, Seeonic, 5Stat (a Store Kraft technology division) and Freedom Shopping will be presenting a wide array of RFID solutions at the National Retail Federation’s (NRF) 99th Annual Convention and Expo in New York, from January 10-13, 2010, a show that annually draws more than 17,000 retail professionals to learn about the industry’s latest developments and technology innovations.
UPM Raflatac and its partners’ solutions are designed to help retailers deliver a superior customer shopping and sales experience, while improving critical operational processes. The companies’ RFID-enabled tools help retailers increase revenues by cross-selling and up-selling merchandise and maximizing product sales, while streamlining inventory management processes and protecting goods from shrinkage and theft.
In addition, visitors will be able to test two other interactive RFID-enabled retail demos. 5Stat’s smart fitting room enables users to obtain additional information on garments tagged with UPM Raflatac ShortDipole UHF RFID tags, search for coordinated accessories and access live sales assistance easily and quickly. Companies can leverage the smart fitting room to convert shopper interest into purchases, driving per-trip customer sales while strengthening product security.
In a bike shop demo, which features independent retailer Uptown Cycles’ merchandise, viewers will witness how Freedom Shopping’s RFID-enabled FLiP inventory management system and UPM Raflatac Web and ShortDipole UHF RFID tags improve inventory visibility and accuracy.
