Staten Island, NY (January 4, 2008) - Leading retail software
provider, Celerant Technology Corp., announces the release of RFID
(Radio Frequency Identification) for POS, to be launched
at the upcoming NRF Show at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC on January 14 &
15. This cutting edge technology allows for faster check-outs and more efficient
inventory tracking.
"RFID
seems to have real-life applications in the warehousing environment, however,
at the POS or retail store
back office, there is not much RFID
to speak of," stated Ian Goldman, Celerant President and CEO. "For
RFID to work,
in real-life, it must be incorporated into the entire product life cycle (receiving,
transfers, sales, returns, etc). Once that is done, retailers can enjoy a POS transaction as simple as a customer dropping
10 garments on a counter, or a store-to-store transfer essentially as simple
with an inventory clerk."
In addition to reduced transaction time at the POS,
RFID
will also allow for more precise inventory tracking, increased theft control,
and more efficient transfers. Receiving time will be drastically reduced, as
the system will read all products automatically during the transfer, and merchandise
labels can be printed and received at the same time.
"This is just the beginning for Celerant's RFID capability," Goldman stated. "Now
that we've incorporated RFID
into the product lifecycle, we look forward to the near future when in-store
security and visual up-selling will be standard RFID features changing the retail store environment
forever."
Celerant's RFID
application allows 4 point of sale terminals to read off one transceiver, with
one antenna located under each work station. Celerant Command Retail's app server communicates
with the transceiver and provides a completely integrated solution.
