What are some of the benefits of Vendor source tagging merchandise?
Vendors, manufacturers and packagers partnering with retailers to control shrinkage losses by implementing RF source tagging are now enjoying significant success due to the following benefits:
-
RF EAS tags will no longer cover important product information. (When applied at retail the RF EAS tags have been positioned wherever the RF EAS tag fits).
-
RF EAS tagged merchandise put on open display increases sales and minimizes the risk of shrinkage.
-
Retailers will be more confident to stock new lines that are source tagged
-
EAS- ready store stock reduces labour costs of tagging at store level.
-
Cross merchandising promises to be a powerful tool to help retailers increase sales.
-
Maximises the retailer's ability to better display merchandise.
-
Reduces the appeal for thieves to use as a destination for theft.
It is important to ensure RF EAS source tagged merchandise is only supplied to retailers with RF EAS systems
