Track inventory from source to store

Retail supply chains move constantly. Products leave factories, pass through distribution centers, arrive in stores, move into stockrooms, and eventually reach the sales floor or the customer. Every movement matters.

With iD Cloud, retailers can use item-level data to create a more reliable view of inventory as it moves through the supply chain. By connecting read points, item-level data, and operational workflows, retailers gain the visibility needed to improve inbound accuracy, reduce errors, and make store inventory more trustworthy from the moment products arrive.

Faster item scanning

25x faster

Replace item-by-item barcode scans with RFID bulk reads across receiving, packing, shipping, and returns.

Product traceability

1 History

Connect each RFID read to the product’s item history, including factory, destination, shipment path, partner activity, returns, and resale.

Shipment verification

100%

Check every tagged item against the expected shipment to catch missing, extra, or wrong products before they leave the DC.

Retail challenges

Many retailers still rely on fragmented data across suppliers, warehouses, transport, stores, and enterprise systems. When inventory visibility breaks down between these steps, teams lose confidence in what has shipped, what has arrived, what is missing, and what is ready to sell.

Inventory disappears between systems

Products move through many systems before they reach the customer. Supplier data, distribution center data, store receipts, ERP stock files, and inventory counts do not always match. When these systems disagree, teams spend time reconciling data instead of moving products forward.

Shipments arrive with hidden errors

An order may be shipped, but that does not guarantee every item is present, correct, or ready to receive. Without item-level verification, shortages, overages, and wrong products may only become visible later, when the store is already missing stock.

Stores lose time on manual receiving

Manual receiving slows down store operations, especially when teams need to check cartons, scan products, or validate deliveries one item at a time. The longer receiving takes, the longer products stay away from the sales floor.

Replenishment depends on delayed information

If inbound and outbound movements are not captured accurately, replenishment decisions are based on outdated or incomplete data. That can create stock gaps in stores, unnecessary transfers, or products arriving where they are not needed.

Supply chain errors become store availability problems

A missed item in the supply chain does not stay a supply chain issue. It affects store stock accuracy, sales floor availability, omnichannel fulfillment, and customer promises.

Limited visibility across partners and locations

Retailers often depend on factories, logistics partners, distribution centers, and stores. Without a connected view of item movement, it becomes difficult to understand where delays, errors, or losses are happening.

iD Cloud

Capture item-level data at key supply chain moments, including source tagging, distribution center processes, shipments, inbound receiving, store transfers, and returns, with iD Cloud.

That visibility helps teams validate shipments faster, identify discrepancies earlier, and keep ERP and store inventory records more aligned with reality. It also supports better downstream workflows. When stores receive more accurate data, they can replenish faster, fulfill with more confidence, and reduce time spent searching for products that were never actually received.

Turn supply chain movement into inventory confidence

Retailers can only act with confidence when supply chain data reflects what is really happening. If products are delayed, missing, incorrectly shipped, or not received properly, the impact moves quickly into stores and customer-facing channels.

Item-level visibility helps retailers create a more accurate view of inventory movement from source to store. Teams can verify shipments, speed up receiving, identify discrepancies earlier, and keep downstream systems working from more reliable data.

The result is a stronger inventory foundation across the retail chain: fewer hidden errors, faster product flow, better store stock accuracy, and more confidence in replenishment, fulfillment, and availability.

Improve inbound accuracy

Speed up goods receiving

Detect shipment discrepancies earlier

Reduce manual receiving work

Improve ERP inventory reliability

Support better replenishment

Create end-to-end inventory visibility

Improve shipment accuracy With iD Cloud, retailers can validate inbound and outbound movements at item level, helping teams identify shortages, overages, and incorrect products earlier in the process.

Item-level verification

Speed up receiving Receiving with iD Cloud helps teams process products faster than item-by-item manual checks, reducing operational effort and helping inventory move more quickly into stores and downstream workflows.

Less manual checking

Strengthen inventory reliability By connecting RFID data across factories, distribution centers, and stores, iD Cloud helps retailers build a more reliable inventory foundation for replenishment, fulfillment, and store availability.

One trusted view

Make every inventory movement easier to trust

Supply chain visibility should not stop at shipment status. Retailers need to know which items moved, where they are, and whether the next team or system can act on that data with confidence.
