Inventory visibility is vital to any retailer looking to reduce shrinkage, prevent loss and maximize in-store sales. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology empowers store associates to count inventory faster and, in turn, gives retailers a comprehensive, more real-time look at store-level inventory.
Truecount launched the Fingertip RFID enterprise handheld, which is designed to allow associates to locate and count boxes and containers without unpacking and moving them. The cloud-based solution provides retailers with inventory visibility to better prevent out-of-stocks or misplaced merchandise, and only requires Internet connection and a PC-supported web browser to operate.
Retailers can deploy the handheld in any merchandise space, whether it’s the sales floor, back room, warehouse or supply storage area. Fashion retailers can use a price tag as the RFID tag, making it unobtrusive to the overall shopping experience.

“The frustration of counting inventory manually has been eliminated,” said Claudia Clausen, Owner of Banana Belt Retail Liquors, a Truecount customer. “RFID significantly reduces the labor required to maintain accuracy for both shipping and receiving goods. I like getting the information updated quickly, and knowing precisely what items we have in storage.”
