Schneider Moden, a fashion retailer specialized at selling fashion labels such as ESPRIT, edc, Street One, Cecil, Lerros and Opus, recently opened two new Gerry Weber fashion stores in Leipzig and Wittenberg. The retailer who operates over 40 stores in Germany decided to implement the RFID technology to create a modern shopping experience for its customers.
By using Enso Detego RFID software solution to supervise the flow of fashion articles on the shop-floor, Schneider Moden now has a complete visibility of the articles and can respond quickly and accurately to its customer needs.
Tom Vieweger, Key Account Manager at Enso Detego, says: "It is all about avoiding out-of-stock situations. By implementing our standard detego® Basic Store software and in cooperation with our partners Höltl Retail Solutions and Nedap, we completed this project within the shortest time. The solution allows Schneider Moden to improve customer shopping experience and, consequently, its sales."
The stores receive their fashion articles with RFID labels already attached to them from Gerry Weber. Within minutes, the personnel can inspect the incoming articles at the inbound control and run discrepancy analysis. In the store, the personnel accurately and reliably locate the goods at any location, manage the availability of goods at the sales surface and ensure efficient replenishment process.
The deployed electronic article surveillance system provides the stores with an effective anti-theft system which is fully integrated into the retailer IT-system. By consequence, the retailer can simplify its working processes and save costs on the traditional security tags.
"The solution, as implemented at the Schneider Moden stores, fully demonstrates the benefits of the RFID technology for Mono Label Stores" adds Matjaz Novak, Marketing Director at Enso Detego. He concludes: "At Enso Detego, we developed a set of products for RFID shop-floor automation which helps fashion retail operators improve their operational efficiency and increase their sales in shortest time and at an affordable cost."
