Avery Dennison Retail Branding and Information Solutions (RBIS) hosted an Exhibitor Insights discussion with lululemon and adidas on how RFID is a key enabler in omnichannel success at the 2017 National Retail Federation’s (NRF) Annual Convention and EXPO. The company also showcased Janela Smart Product Solutions, its latest innovations in RFID solutions, designer partnerships, and its printer products series.
Through its RFID innovations, Avery Dennison is enabling the connection between the physical and digital worlds, connecting products with the internet of things to improve consumer omnichannel experience.
“The entire shopping experience is strongly impacted by product availability,” said Francisco Melo, VP and GM, Global RFID, Avery Dennison. “As the physical and digital worlds continue to merge, consumers expect a seamless experience across all channels. RFID not only improves inventory accuracy and visibility, it also enables item-level consumer engagement to transform the retail experience and build a consistent engagement platform both online and offline.”
Avery Dennison hosted the Exhibitor Insights panel discussion on Tuesday, January 17, 2017, 4-4:45pm ET in the Level 3 EXPO, Room 3 at the Javits Convention Center. The panel, “RFID as a Key Enabler of Omnichannel Success,” focused on how RFID is paramount to driving a successful omnichannel strategy and creating seamless consumer experiences. Panelists will discuss topics ranging from the impact of RFID on consumer experience to successful RFID adoption across the performance market.
Melo moderated the panel, joined by retail leaders and RFID experts, including:
• Jonathan Aiken, director, IT, Retail Store Technology Operations, lululemon.
• Tobias Steinhoff, senior director, Business Solutions, Global Sales, Direct to Channel and Franchise, Adidas Group.
Dr. Bill Hardgrave, dean, Harbert College of Business, Auburn University,
“The foundation for successful omnichannel retail is inventory accuracy, enabled by RFID,” said Dr. Hardgrave. “Without RFID, a typical bricks-and-mortar retailer has about 60 percent SKU-level accuracy, which is not acceptable in today’s retail environment. To provide a superior customer experience, a retailer must know what they have and where they have it. Otherwise, customers will easily find another retailer who can meet their needs.”
