Carrucci Shoes, a men's footwear brand
originating from Los Angeles with nearly 20 years of history, is renowned for
its high-quality formal, casual, and athletic shoes. Its products are
distributed in department stores and boutique stores around the world, and are
deeply loved by consumers. However, with the continuous expansion of business
and the rise of e-commerce, Carrucci shoes are facing huge challenges in
inventory management. To address these challenges, Carrucci shoes ingeniously
utilized RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology to achieve a
comprehensive overhaul of inventory management.
Introducing RFID to revolutionize inventory
management
Last year, Carrucci shoes obtained an RFID
technology authorization from the retailer selling their products. Faced with
this technological opportunity, Carrucci shoes did not simply view RFID tags as
a tool to meet the requirements of retailers, but chose to deeply integrate
them into their internal inventory management system. By deploying the
TagMatiks Wedge solution provided by RFID4U, Carrucci shoes have achieved full
inventory monitoring from production to sales, greatly improving inventory
accuracy and operational efficiency.
Before the introduction of RFID technology,
the inventory counting of Carrucci shoes was both time-consuming and
labor-intensive. The inventory check in the warehouse often takes employees
half a working day to complete the inventory of one or two shoe styles, so a
complete inventory check has never been conducted. This not only affects the
accuracy of inventory, but also increases labor costs. The introduction of RFID
technology has completely changed this situation.
Nowadays, every time a new product is
packaged and labeled with RFID tags in the factory, these tags carry a unique
ID code and are associated with the SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) number of the
product. When the products arrive at the warehouse in Los Angeles, the staff
only need to use a handheld reader to quickly receive and verify the products,
without having to open the cardboard boxes one by one to check. This not only
greatly improves the efficiency of inventory counting, but also ensures the
real-time accuracy of inventory data.
RFID can also assist in e-commerce sales
