Celio selects Nedap for large-scale RFID roll-out

At first, Celio focuses on raising the in-store stock accuracy by using RFID for goods receiving and weekly inventory counts in the stores. For this, Celio uses the iD Cloud software, in combination with Zebra mobile RFID readers, which feeds accurate stock data back in Celio’s ERP system from SAP. Additionally, the point-of-sale is integrated with iD Cloud to track sales and returns and use RFID for electronic article surveillance to prevent losses and enable full item-level visibility in the store.

Teboul adds: “Next to the right RFID features, we were also looking for a user-friendly solution and the feedback that we are getting from the stores is very positive. The acceptance and enthusiasm from our store teams are very high because the solution helps them to provide better service.”

“We are very proud that Celio has selected us as their RFID partner to transform into a true Omnichannel retailer. Our iD Cloud software platform is a hardware-agnostic EPCIS repository that gives retailers the much-needed stock visibility because every single event such as location changes, sales or returns is tracked on item level. Once you really know what you have and where it is, you can act much more agile, offer customers a better shopping experience and uplift sales”, comments Rob Schuurman, Managing Director at Nedap Retail.
