RFID consulting and programme management across the full chain

From the first feasibility assessment to stable day-to-day operations — as advisors, as programme leadership, or as temporary reinforcement for your team.

We work in clearly defined modules. You can commission individual building blocks or involve us across the entire programme.

Advisory

Strategy & business case

Current-state assessment, value potential and investment calculation — the basis for a decision that holds.

  • Maturity and feasibility analysis along your processes
  • Use-case prioritisation from sourcing through the DC to the store
  • Business case, investment calculation and payback analysis
  • Target picture, roadmap and multi-year implementation plan

Solution design & architecture

The technical and process solution is settled before the first hardware is ordered.

  • Tag, encoding and data standards (GS1, EPC/SGTIN, EPCIS)
  • Read-point concepts: tunnels, gates, handhelds, overhead and fixed readers
  • Integration with ERP, WMS and middleware, including the interface landscape
  • Exception, audit and data quality processes

Source tagging & supplier integration

So that goods enter your network already encoded and verified.

  • Tagging concept for production, packaging and suppliers
  • Onboarding programme and requirement specifications for suppliers
  • Quality assurance, read-rate targets and escalation mechanics
  • Verification at goods receipt and in the distribution centre

Delivery

Schematic view of typical RFID read points: a tunnel over the conveyor, a gate in the goods flow and handheld capture at the rack.
Typical read points in the distribution centre and in store: tunnel, gate and handheld — each with its own requirements for read rate, process and exception handling.

Distribution centre & automation

RFID in high-volume environments — where seconds and read rates decide the business value.

  • Tunnel and gate architecture for inbound, picking and outbound
  • Value-added services and verification steps within the DC
  • Interplay with conveyors, sorters and existing automation
  • Acceptance criteria, test scenarios and commissioning

Retail rollout & change management

The point where programmes tip over: hundreds of sites, mixed teams, business as usual continuing.

  • Rollout governance, wave planning and site readiness
  • Store processes: goods receipt, cycle counting, item search, stocktaking
  • Training, communication and adoption for own retail and franchise partners
  • KPI model to measure inventory accuracy and availability

Programme & project management

Steering across functions, countries and service providers — on request as an interim placement.

  • Programme leadership, steering committee reporting and stakeholder management
  • Interim product ownership and backlog responsibility in agile teams
  • Tendering, selection and management of hardware and software partners
  • Risk, budget and dependency management

How we work

A proven sequence — each phase with a clear deliverable and a deliberate go/no-go decision.

  1. Assessment

    Map processes, system landscape and data quality. Outcome: an honest view of where RFID pays off — and where it does not.

  2. Business case & target picture

    Quantify value, offset investment, define target architecture and roadmap. Outcome: a decision-ready proposal.

  3. Pilot

    Limited scope, real conditions, measurable hypotheses. Outcome: hard numbers instead of assumptions.

  4. Rollout

    Wave planning, training, site readiness and hypercare. Outcome: scale without losing quality.

  5. Steady state

    Handover to your organisation with KPI steering, governance and a development path. Outcome: it runs without us.
