Sato provides resort hotel with RFID wine cellar inventory

Sato has partnered with Tokyo Baycourt Club Hotel & Spa Resort on a new inventory management strategy using an RFID-enabled inventory management system. The system optimized the resort’s stocktaking operations and boosted inventory management accuracy. This is the first system of its kind used by Japan’s hotel industry. Tokyo Baycourt Club is a resort hotel in Tokyo’s Odaiba entertainment district operated by Resorttrust. The stocktaking operations of its roughly 5,000 bottles of wine for its restaurants, bars and lounges previously required sommeliers to carefully and laboriously handle each bottle separately and enter details manually into the purchasing system. The hotel sought a faster and more accurate system to streamline operations.
