Are Your Customers Ready for RFID?
With BlueStar, RFID4U, and Zebra — You Can Make Sure They Are!
Bring RFID to Your Customers
RFID by the Numbers
RFID adoption continues to accelerate across retail, logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing as organizations seek greater inventory visibility, automation, and operational efficiency.
RFID in retail is primarily used for item-level inventory, omnichannel fulfillment, self/assisted checkout, and loss prevention, with many retailers viewing it as strategic infrastructure rather than a pilot technology.
Inventory Accuracy
With RFID, retailers often achieve near-perfect or 95-99% inventory accuracy, versus typical 60-80% with manual or barcode methods, which directly supports better on-shelf availability and omnichannel fulfillment.
Inventory Cycle Counts
Inventory cycle counts can be up to 90% faster with RFID.
Product Availability
Improved product availability can drive 2-7% sales increases.
Shrink & Loss Prevention
RFID reduces inventory shrinkage by enabling more accurate, real-time tracking that discourages theft, exposes fraud, and tightens process control.
