Reno GmbH, the second largest shoe retailer in Europe has announced that it would embed RFID tags into the soles of all the shoes that it supplies to nearly 1,700 stores in the continent.
The retailer has reached out an agreement with Checkpoint Systems Inc to tag the chips within the soles. As per the deal, Checkpoint will provide millions of tags to Reno. The tagging process is likely to be concluded by the end of May this year.
The Germany-based shoe company says that the use of RFID tags will help them in checking the thefts of shoes and improve the shopping experience of customers who visit their outlets in large numbers everyday.
The wafer-thin RFID tags will be integrated in the large proportion of all the shoes and displayed in the stores for the customers. Hence, the workers at outlets don’t need to make frequent search to provide the ordered products. At the same time, the customers will save their time and energy.
