PARIS - June 7, 2017 - Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), the market leader in mobile computers, scanners and barcode printers enhanced with software and services to enable real-time enterprise visibility solutions, announced that Undiz has selected Zebra RFD8500 handheld reader s to equip its Paris-based concept store 'Undiz Machine' to provide real-time visibility into its inventory and sales merchandise. Complete inventories are made in less than 45 minutes, instead of the two hours with the previous equipment and now make it possible to satisfy customer queries almost instantly.

An affiliate of the Etam group, Undiz is a lingerie brand with 130 stores worldwide. Its unique Undiz Machine revolutionizes the way customers can buy in stores using digital terminals. Once the product is selected on the screen, it is sent from the stockroom to the customer using capsules propelled in pipes. At the cutting edge of innovation when it comes to improving the customer experience, Undiz has equipped its employees with the powerful, efficient Zebra RFID Bluetooth readers to carry out its in-store inventories as well as improve the management of receipts, shipments and returns in the warehouse.
KEY POINTS

  • Real-time visibility of available stock gives store associates more time to engage with shoppers and accelerate checkout, enhancing the overall customer experience.
  • Together with Retail Reload's Fast Fashion Tracking software, Zebra's technology enables products to be tracked throughout the supply chain, providing real-time visibility into products and optimizing inventory in-store and online. The solution was selected to equip the 130 stores in the back office and front office with the same RFID reader.
