Inventory accuracy 65% → 98%. BOPIS-ready. Loss prevention with proof.
TRACIO delivers item-level RFID programmes from DC through to flagship stores. RAIN RFID at every meaningful read point — receiving, stockroom, sales floor, fitting room, exit. The accuracy gain unlocks omnichannel.
What we keep seeing in Retail programmes.
Inventory accuracy in the mid-60s
Most retailers run inventory accuracy at 60–70% at any given moment. Every omnichannel fulfilment decision is made on numbers that aren't real.
BOPIS fails because of the gap
'Buy online, pick up in store' looks great on the brochure. The reality: the store doesn't have it, the customer cancels, churn goes up.
Loss prevention is reactive
EAS catches the obvious. Sweep theft, employee shrink, and supply-chain shrink are still mostly invisible.
The use cases that consistently pay back.
Item-level RAIN RFID
Every garment, every SKU, every read point. From DC outbound to the in-store fitting-room sensor.
Stockroom workflow
Cycle counting with handheld and overhead RFID. Stock-outs in minutes, not at next monthly count.
BOPIS readiness
Real-time on-floor inventory feeds the omnichannel availability promise. Customers see what's actually there.
Smart fitting room
RFID-equipped fitting rooms suggest complementary items, alert staff to assist, log try-on data for merchandising.
Electronic Article Surveillance
RAIN RFID-aware EAS portals that distinguish purchased vs unpurchased — fewer false alarms, more catches.
Supply-chain shrink
Tracing where inventory disappears between DC and shelf. The 'unexplained' becomes accountable.

Inventory accuracy went from 65% to 98% with item-level RFID, and that single number unlocked reliable click-and-collect across the network within nine months. It worked because TRACIO kept us vendor-neutral and rolled out store-cluster by cluster, so we proved the gain before scaling the spend.Omnichannel & Supply Chain Director · European luxury fashion brand · EMEAAnonymised at the client’s request.

Retail — where the payback shows up.
Source-to-shelf serialisation
Items tagged at source give end-to-end visibility from DC to fitting room, lifting inventory accuracy from ~65% to 98%+.
Self-checkout & loss prevention
Exit reads and POS reconciliation cut shrink and reduce friction at self-checkout, turning an untraceable loss number into a fixable one.
Endless aisle & omnichannel
Accurate, location-aware stock lets associates sell what is in the back or another store, enabling BOPIS and lifting conversion.
