Overview
Sports-merchandise leader Fanatics leaned into RFID to speed up checkout and improve inventory management—reducing count times and discrepancies while freeing associates from the point of sale to help fans on the floor.
The Challenge
Fanatics wanted a best-in-class checkout and more accurate, more frequent inventory counts across its sports-merchandise stores to keep up with high fan expectations on game day.
The Solution
RFID-tagged merchandise lets staff complete a full store inventory count in under an hour with handheld readers, and shoppers drop items into an RFID-enabled bin that reads every tag at once for a near-instant, line-free checkout.
