Mobile - Wireless Communications White Papers

Information Integration Rewards Retailer

Overview For Carson Pirie Scott and Co., better information integration is leading to better business. In the distribution center, warehouse, department stores and furniture stores, the company uses radio frequency data communications systems with integrated bar code scanning for real-time access to remote databases. In the stores, bar code scanners at point of sale capture information and speed customer throughput. Hand-held RF terminals are used here too, to ensure pricing accuracy. The result is tighter inventory control, better price accuracy, fewer stock-outs and faster sales transactions.
