Clarity ARS™ - Advanced Retail System
With the focus in past years on cutting supply chain costs, the
new frontier in retail is once again better execution in the store. Leading Fashion Apparel and Specialty retailers
are actively looking at new ways to leverage technology to better serve
customers, reduce shrink, and streamline processes. They are looking at RFID in particular as the key enabler of
real-time store inventory visibility, management, and security and see it as
fundamental to these strategies.
"One-Touch"
Store Inventory Management

new efficiencies, accuracy, and security to the item level management of stock

shrink while moving the retailer much closer to the "One Touch" goal for store
