How it Works

1. Unique ID is generated as an EPC and is associated with a product and/or an order while being tracked to staging.

2. Systems ensure that goods are confirmed and authorized for shipping, while the transaction is initiated.

3. EPCs are captured triggering automated receiving while initiating automatic routing. 4. RFID Middleware filters EPC data and transfers to ERP systems. 5. Shipment is automatically received at the retailer initiating a B2B message to the supplier to

commence invoicing.6. In store RFID readers detect stock flowing through the store (back room, staging, shelf, POS,

etc.) initiating new supply requests based on actual customer demand.7. No more waiting in line for customers. They can simply walk out (detected by a reader) and

either pay as they go via debit/credit, or allow the store to hold their account information.
