Customer Challenge

G-Star is a global denim brand with a presence on every continent. After more than 30 years in the market, the brand has built a loyal customer base—but customer expectations have changed.

Today’s shoppers are informed and intentional. They know what they want before they visit a store or website. And once they decide to buy, they expect speed and certainty.

For G-Star, this created a clear challenge:
how to deliver accurate stock information and fast fulfillment across both online and in-store channels.

I cannot imagine life without iD Cloud at this moment. I think it really helps us in so many ways. I think it can help us reach that operational excellence that we are striving for.

Barry van Wijk

Head of Retail Operations Europe

Our approach

To meet these expectations, G-Star implemented Nedap’s iD Cloud, powered by RFID technology.

With RFID, every item becomes visible in real time. This allows G-Star to accurately track products across stores and warehouses, provide reliable stock information online and easily fulfill orders online and in-store.

It provides the opportunity for their stores to transform beyond just points of sale and function as mini distribution centers, seamlessly connected to the broader supply chain.

The results

Reliable stock visibility

With RFID-based inventory data, G-Star can promise product availability with confidence, even when stock levels are low.

Faster fulfillment

Customers can order online and pick up in-store within an hour. By the time they arrive, their order is ready.

Improved operational efficiency

Store teams work with intuitive technology that requires minimal training. One introduction is enough to get started.

Scalable growth

New stores are easily equipped with RFID through iD Cloud, supporting G-Star's global expansion without added complexity.
