Powershelf Announces One Penny RFID Breakthrough to Eliminate Retail Out-of-Stocks

March 16, 2018
No Comments

Powershelf, a leader in helping retailers digitize their stores using proprietary software and hardware, today announced a new breakthrough solution that uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and blockchain software to help retailers better manage on-shelf inventory and eliminate out-of-stocks. The cost will be one cent per RFID chip.

Out-of-stocks are an ongoing challenge for retailers. Eight percent of products are estimated to be out-of-stock at any given time, which means shoppers are often not getting the products they need. This costs time and frustrates shoppers, while degrading the shopping experience and costing hundreds of billions of dollars in sales for retailers and brands.

The new one penny, Gen 2 RFID solution will be coupled with proprietary supply chain software developed by Powershelf to significantly improve asset tracking and eliminate out-of-stocks. This innovation builds on a large test conducted with the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) across 200 different brands that found Powershelf technology significantly reduces out-of-stock incidents. The solution will form an integral part of the ecosystem of software and devices—including solutions from Qualcomm, Microsoft, SAP, and GE—offered by Powershelf.

"We have tested Powershelf in stores for over a year and we are excited to bring this next-generation technology into more stores and larger retail customers," said John Linehan, President of King's Hawaiian. "We believe Powershelf's blockchain, machine learning and Gen 2 RFID technology could virtually eliminate out-of-stocks in grocery stores, and we are excited to take the next step with Powershelf and its partners. That's the holy grail for us: ensuring our customers get their King's Hawaiian products when and where they want them."

Leading brands and retailers—including Johnson & Johnson, Bumble Bee Foods, Merisant, Gatorade, Fresh Pet, Giant Eagle and Whole Foods—use Powershelf to provide a better shopping experience.

"We will be expanding our solution into the largest retailers in the world this year," said John White, Co-CEO of Powershelf. "Out-of-stocks have frustrated shoppers, retailers and brands since the invention of the grocery store. Powershelf not only eliminates out-of-stocks, but also unlocks significant value throughout the supply chain. We are working with our data partners to harness that value by building a global network to track assets in real-time and bring an unprecedented level of transparency to the retail grocery industry."

What happens to your supply chain when chaos meets confusion?

Over the last several months, I’ve given many presentations about the events and potential changes impacting supply chains. After one of them, an individual approached me with a very interesting observation: “It’s not just that these things occurred, it's that we were blindsided by them. We never saw it coming.”...
