Using RFID for Omnichannel Fulfillment Success

Supply chains need to be more resilient than ever to weather the constant storms of change. RFID is one of the key enabling technologies that supply chain professionals can use to mitigate risk and enable rewards. Many conversations with supply chain leaders have convinced me that regardless of how efficient logistics have become, there is still much room for improvement given new retail challenges and opportunities. Supply chains have changed dramatically in the past few years to create new efficiencies, which in turn have reduced the margin for error. There has also been a sea change in consumer expectations, largely driven by Amazon. Specifically, omnichannel retailing has essentially broken the traditional supply chain into a direct line between vendor and consumer.
