Carrucci Shoes Steps Ahead with RFID

When Carrucci Shoes received an RFID technology mandate from one of its retail partners last year, the company faced a decision: either attach RFID tags to products destined for the retailer and absorb the cost, or leverage the technology for its own internal benefits. Carrucci chose the latter, integrating RFID tags into every boxed pair of shoes to automate the receiving and shipping processes.

Using RFID4U’s TagMatiks Wedge solution, Carrucci has achieved the inventory accuracy necessary for online sales. This technology ensures that the correct products are shipped to retailers and provides the high level of inventory accuracy needed for e-commerce. The solution is cost-effective, offering up to 500 scans for free and includes a “success center” for live chat and support.

Since implementing the RFID system in May, Carrucci Shoes has reduced labor costs, increased inventory visibility for e-commerce, and minimized shipping errors, according to Janice Hu, operations director at Carrucci Shoes’ parent company, King Windsor Group.
