Supply chain video: Using RFID in the book industry
Filed in archive Supply chain video by ehsan on November 11, 2007
Despite the existing barriers of using RFID in the retail sector, some companies have been able to implement the tchnology in a profitable way. One of the success stories is a book retailer in Netherlands called Boekhandels Groep Nederland (BGN). The company has implemented RFID technology in item level and now does the inventory screening in two hours and only with 2 people.



The previous system based on barcode needed 25 people and they also had to close down the shop. You can see the video to see how they use a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) in parallel with their RFID initiative and how the level of customer service has increased in the stores.
