RFID Chip Sticker Makes Decathlon Sales Growing

Decathlon is a French sporting goods retailer with 1,500 stores and an omnichannel evolution. It has a good story to tell about applying RFID chip sticker in this area of operations and logistics

The retailer has been expanding its already established RFID program for almost three years now, using tags for all its products in order to manage inventory and secure goods.

This is part of a supply program that has been offered for more than five years in partnership with SML Group. It aims to ensure that Decathlon's network of suppliers are using RFID chip stickers and tags, which are sewn into clothing during the manufacturing process.

Each RFID item is assigned a separate Electronic Product Code (EPC) number to match a unique product SKU. the resulting item-level tracking improves inventory management and ensures better availability of goods, while also reducing stock-outs and improving customer service.
