RFID Sporting Goods Store Inventory Management System

There are several problems regarding traditional management systems in the sports retailing industry because most of those systems are using barcode-based technologies or manually operated. These systems require the retailers to pre-print barcode numbers on a sticker, then manually place it on every single sports equipment and accessory. This often causes misreading and scanning failure if the stickers on sports items get dirty or damaged because of being kept in storage for a long period of time or displaced from shelves. Additionally, in order to read the barcode properly, the employees must put the handheld scanner close to the stickers that require the employee to identify each sports item visually. Scanning all sports equipment and accessories manually and repeatedly may lead to error-prone, ineffective inventory management processes, as well as extra labor costs.
