Allbirds enhances inventory accuracy with RFID

Allbirds, a San Francisco-based footwear brand, is using RFID technology to improve item-level inventory tracking between warehouses and stores. The company is utilizing the RFID-based inventory intelligence solution from Sensormatic Solutions, a Johnson Controls company.

Since implementing the Sensormatic Solutions Supply Chain Visibility RFID cloud-based inventory management system in 2022, Allbirds has achieved up to 99% inventory accuracy in the U.S. retail stores where it has been launched. The retailer is also reducing overall in-store inventory through just-in-time supply chain management.

Allbirds is tracking enterprise-wide product movement from warehouse to store to streamline merchandising programs, coordinate short-range deliveries, and support associates on the floor.

The retailer also intends to enable future omnichannel execution utilizing Sensoramatic Solutions RFID technology, which uses support from solutions such as Google Cloud BigQuery to provide item-level inventory visibility and operational insights.
