Key Features
A cost-benefit paradox sits at the heart of most RFID initiatives: that most of the value accrues to the retailer, while the costs are skewed to the manufacturer. If not resolved, this paradox will sabotage well conceived programs because supply chain partners' interests will be out of alignment.
Our solution, RFID CONNECT™, uniquely resolves this paradox by enabling the useful sharing of real-time RFID, barcode and other demand data with all relevant supply chain partners.
Within the supply chain, the real benefits from RFID derive from the ability to provide an effective platform to capture, filter and deliver meaningful data to the various supply chain partners. RFID CONNECT™ is a hosted software solution from Supply Chain Connect, a leading supply chain connectivity company that hosts and manages supply chain connectivity solutions for blue-chip customers worldwide.
The core of RFID CONNECT™ is an intelligent Supply Chain Event Processing Engine, which takes RFID-based data captured throughout the supply chain, translates the data into meaningful information and makes the information available to relevant supply chain partners. RFID CONNECT™ eliminates much of the custom integration typically required during an RFID project, drastically reducing the time and cost of implementation.
Here are some of the compelling reasons that companies are looking to implement the RFID CONNECT™ Event Processing Layer:
RFID CONNECT™ provides real-time inventory and demand visibility to supply chain partners. With this improved visibility, partners can manage their supply chain by exception, reducing inventory levels, improving velocity through the supply chain and upgrading reliability of supply by eliminating stock-outs.
RFID CONNECT™ is compatible with RFID point installation and back office systems. The RFID CONNECTTM hosted service integrates with existing ERP systems, extending and amplifying the value of previous investment.
RFID CONNECT™ offers a managed service approach so customers can concentrate on their core business. We will connect, train and support your supply chain partners.
RFID CONNECT™ offers affordable services. Using your internet connection to the Supply Chain Connect hub, you will cost effectively receive and send all relevant RFID data, view inventory and demand information. RFID CONNECT™ integration capability allows customers to receive data in XML, EDI or flat file formats, which can be integrated easily and directly into backend systems.
RFID CONNECT™ offers intuitive and easy to use applications. Most supply chain partners can be ready to operate the system with less than one day of training. For further details, a product demonstration can be arranged.
RFID CONNECT™ is convenient. Supply Chain Partners access their RFID data by accessing a secure, private supply hub.
RFID CONNECT™ delivers a secure and private solution. RFID CONNECT™ is operated by Supply Chain Connect and operates as a secure, private hub that is always 'On Demand'. Our hosted service creates a secure channel for reliable messaging between trading partners, complete with industrial strength RSA encryption and firewall tunnelling. Business networks are protected by the best security technology available today.
RFID CONNECT™ saves money. Customers report substantial savings through improved business processes. Automating transactions cut paper processing as well as inventory - which adds up to significant savings.
