The main objective of the partnership is to provide a fully integrated end-to-end solution, based on complementary best of breed technologies from both companies. This new partnership will enable fashion and specialty retail companies to considerably reduce integration costs and implementation time when deploying RFID. After 3 years of real world customer implementations, TAGSYS has been able to refine its comprehensive RFID infrastructure for the fashion and retail market (application stations, readers, tags, middleware and services) and introduce the RFID industry’s first “Reliability Guarantee” for fashion and apparel. This Reliability Guarantee ensures that customers can ensure data accuracy and data integrity in their RFID implementations not only in their logistics operations but also at the store level, ensuring the ROI retailers expect. From manufacturing to sales, Cegid Retail software solutions enable retailers to optimize their business processes, to efficiently manage their activities and to ease decision making at head office, in the central buying office and in store. In the store, innovative technologies (i.e. RFID, mobility and re-usable loyalty cards) help drive client services towards a more personalized approach, increasing revenues and improving benefits. This partnership is the next step in integrating the complete RFID solution from TAGSYS and Cegid, enabling retailers to optimize their supply chain and retail operations. Operational benefits of RFID technology are now well established in both logistics and retail, from increased operational capacity at distribution centers (+40% to +50%), to acceleration of reception/expedition processes (improved reliability and speed), to inventory efficiency in stores (up to 7000 items inventoried by one person in less than 20 minutes), to increased turnover through improved product availability. TAGSYS is an official Partner of Cegid Retail Connections 09, which will take place on the 8th-9th October in Monte Carlo, South of France. With more than 500 people expected in attendance, Cegid Retail Connections 09 is set to be the largest ever gathering of Cegid Retail and the specialty retail community in Europe.
