SML and PervasID have announced an exclusive partnership for the retail sector. The two companies will work together to deliver a unique combination of PervasID’s passive RFID reader technology and SML’s Clarity™ enterprise software solutions to drive higher profits for retailers. SML is a global leader in retail RFID technology and solutions, while PervasID is the company providing innovative, high-accuracy UHF Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader systems for automating inventory and asset tracking.
Dean Frew, SML CTO, said that as the Retail RFID market continues to demand innovations to serve customers more effectively, they see a growing synergy between hands-free and handheld RFID solutions in stores and distribution centers, with PervasID’s technology leading this innovation. He added that with the adoption of item-level RFID solutions rapidly growing and a large portion of those retailers running on their Clarity application platform, they see the addition of PervasID technology to their portfolio as being a key part of servicing their customers with enhanced returns on investments.
Dr Sabesan Sithamparanathan, PervasID founder and CEO, said they are delighted to be combining their innovative technology with SML’s solutions, global network, and scale to help bring these innovations to retailers around the globe. He also added that the biggest single challenge for all sizes and types of retailers is how to accurately and cost-effectively manage products inside their stores. The combination of the offerings from the two companies delivers unparalleled hands-free, real-time visibility capabilities.
Dr Sabesan Sithamparanathan further stated that the results drive tangible improvements to the bottom line in the form of reduced losses, but also stock management and insights and more efficient e-commerce picking and packing. They are excited to see the response from retailers.
