Item-level visibility all the way to the shelf

Use item-level RFID to speed cycle counts and improve on-shelf availability from the distribution center through the store. MTG brings the same enterprise discipline used in its industrial deployments to the retail floor.

Retail

The problems that actually cost you sales

A customer cannot find their size on the shelf while three units of it sit in the stockroom, invisible to the system. Cycle counts take days of labor and are stale again within a week. Shrinkage goes undetected until a full physical count finds the gap, long after it happened. Controlled merchandise requires stronger, review-ready accountability than periodic hand counts can provide. MTG has advised retailers where inventory accuracy is a compliance obligation, not a preference. A buy-online-pickup-in-store order fails because the system thinks inventory exists that already sold. Receiving at the distribution center backs up during peak volume, delaying product to the floor when it matters most. Item-level visibility ends at the distribution center, and the store is guessing from there. Returns processing is slow enough that reconciled inventory always lags reality. Loss prevention depends on cameras and gut instinct instead of a record of what is actually on the floor.

MTG evaluates item tagging, store workflows, inventory systems, and accuracy requirements before recommending the right RFID solution for retailers.
