Achieving powerful results with minimal effort
Keep it simple ! SML, a global company that specialises in retail, brings the industry's broadest set of experience and RFID offerings from high performance RFID tags and global network of encoding solutions to enterprise class RFID software applications for retail stores and distribution centers. Global presence is the key to efficient and fast delivery of tags and labels to customers who require them for production – whether coded or un-coded. In an interview with RFID & Wireless IoT Global, Dean Frew, CTO & SVP RFID Solutions, SML Group, discusses what the future of retail could look like. From his point of view, there is a lack of specialised consulting companies. This results in fashion and retail companies being overwhelmed with offers the extent of which vastly exceeds their requirements. This reduces ROI. There, Dean Frew’s message is the following: RFID implementation in shops needs to be kept as simple as possible because a solution like this will benefit the retailer immensely.
RFID Takes Retail Industry to a New Level of Transparency
Over one billion encoded RFID tags sold per year, ... ... more than 1,000 stores rolled out with the software platform “Clarity”, customers such as American Apparel, Decathlon, and Tesco – SML demonstrated its solution capability on the fashion market. Now, the RFID supplier uses the experience gained from working in the fashion and shoe retail markets onto other retail sectors: smartphones, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, glasses, food, and drinks. Being interviewed by RFID & Wireless IoT Global, Dean Frew, CTO of SML, explains how RFID provides benefits in all retail sectors and why omnichannel would be unthinkable without RFID technology.
