NCR Corp. Rolls Out RFID Software

Monday, February 5, 2007

NCR Corp. today unveiled a software product based on RFID that’ll help organizations track assets in a host of new retail applications – like tracking shopping carts as they move through a store.

Just imagine the power of knowing the demographic info of every shopper entering a grocery store – and the rate at which they buy various goods.

What I’d like to see? Little “feedback” stations where I can type in requests for peanut-butter-flavored nutrtion bars that aren’t getting stocked in the first place!

NCR Asset Visibility software may be used as a standalone application or it can be integrated with other solutions (including enterprise resource planning software). [end]
