Background
Spanish retail industry is mature and highly developed worldwide. Local fashion brands and global branded fashion companies have expanded to every possible corner of this market. SME retailers in the fashion market operate their supply chain with more time, longer turnaround and inaccurate data in the competition against big retailers. A couple of years back, they have started the evolution of adopting UHF RFID technology from traditional barcode tracking solutions. SME spot RFID technology fruitful productivity.
Challenges
1. Traditional barcode data has to be maintained and consolidated into RFID tags.
2. All suppliers along the supply chain need to embed RFID tag into materials and items and implement same RFID system to exchange data with SME retailers.
3. SME retailers have less budget and afford a short phase to bring RFID solutions to live.
Solution
Chainway RFID solution partner in Spain built a customizable full-flow supply chain RFID tracking and management system solution for SME retailers. As part of the retail solution, Chainway C66+R6 handheld device combination offers long-range and high-capacity RFID tag reading as well as Barcode label scanning functions. Retailer, vendor, logistics service provider and warehouse distribution center all quickly collaborate to take the best practice and achieve real-time and accurate supply chain status and stock visibility.
Effects
1. By implementing RFID technology, retailers reduced the time of inbound and outbound logistics processes from the distribution center. They also have control over the movements of items at the warehouse. Thanks to Chainway C66+R6 devices, the warehouse management reduces labor and improves the information management of each product in the ERP through automation.

3. Avoid making mistakes at the different phases of the supply chain, such as:
- undetected errors at the time of receiving the merchandise from suppliers and in shipments to stores or customers.
- Inventories inaccuracy.
- Low frequency of inventory due to its complexity in cost/time.
- Unknown product losses.
4. RFID technology allows indirect control to customers as they can check order status in real-time and also check if there are errors, delays or any incident.
Product Configuration
