Nedap is selected by Spanish children's clothing retailer Charanga to deploy the Nedap iD Cloud platform. The project, which will include all owned stores, franchise stores and El Corte Inglés' corners in Spain, Portugal, and Italy, started in March 2022 and will be finished this month. The objective is to achieve full stock visibility with the higher reliability along the supply chain.

Nedap iD Cloud is the only scalable enterprise platform that gathers all EPC inventory data and its unique item lifespan history in one place to create perfect inventory visibility throughout retail supply chains with the use of RFID technology. Knowing exactly which products flow through the supply chain is crucial in improving product availability, while keeping prices and costs low. This leads to fewer markdowns, less waste, and higher profitability.

This also provides the foundation for omnichannel concepts such as BOPIS (Click & Collect) and Ship-from-Store. To ensure both a pleasant shopping experience and operational efficiencies, Charanga chose to include 150 owned and franchise stores in this project. The brand's international growth ambitions have accelerated the decision process for RFID.

This technology offers a complete and real-time view of stock, resulting in optimized product availability across all channels.
