Sample Management
Brands are always looking to boost efficiencies and measure performance. The macro-economic climate has made these initiatives imperative for success in today's environment. A key indicator in cost management and efficiency is the performance of the sample management process. Whether looking to drive development ratios, increase cost and margin control, or improve time-to-market, effective sample management can greatly impact a brand's success. For any of the typical day to day functions of a samples process to be performed the samples first have to be received, inventoried with appropriate information attached to the items. Equally as important they have to tracked recovered quickly. If this doesn't happen the entire process breaks down equating to huge inefficiencies with a negative impact to the bottom line. Sample Management is an important part of the product design and development processes. In most companies the process is typically handled by the associates who use them for meetings, photo shoots and a variety of merchandising needs. The efficiency of this process can be greatly improved by the proper use of RFID. Sample management which was once considered an unmanageable effort now becomes very manageable and a primary function of efficiency ItemSight for Sample Management helps companies to eliminate duplicate efforts, reduce costly over-development and improve assortment selection based on effective prototype management. The solution provides robust sample management functionality.ItemSight software helps workers research, locate, track, trace and accumulate samples for meeting and functions in a timely manner thereby giving one more time which increases efficiency in every aspect of day to day operation. Keeping better track of samples cuts down on the number of samples ordered which will reduce the burden on the vendor, the cost of more samples, and most important improve speed to market. Appliance Use cases that require an application running at the RFID enabled area are the type of application where an appliance is useful. The ItemSight platform includes a pre-packaged, open .Net environment on which RFID applications can be hosted. Using a library of APIs for RFID sensors and other devices, partners and customers have built streamlined RFID workflow applications that run on ItemSight and leverage the performance, abstraction, security and redundancy capabilities that come standard with every ItemSight appliance Due to unique flexible architecture of ItemSight you can transform any reader on the market into an appliance for use cases where that flavor of RFID is useful. ItemSight appliance builds mobile carts, interactive read zones, non interactive read zones and more. The ItemSight appliance increase productivity and delivers the true potential of RFID. The system features the following:
