A flexible platform
corielTHINGS, corielEDGE and myTAGS combine to provide you with a completely interconnected platform that is tailored to how you need to use it.
Some customers already have modern inventory, warehouse and ePOS systems that need to be augmented with real-time data and hardware. Others have very little automation and therefore benefit from an end-to-end solution.
Whether you need a full-blown system or just some modern infrastructure around the edges, Coriel Solutions is here to support you.
How does RFID work?
Each item you sell can be applied with a standard RFID label, which can also contain printed barcodes and human-readable information, augmenting the labels you currently use.
These small devices communicate wirelessly, enabling RFID readers to identify their Unique Product Code (UPC) without requiring individual scanning.
Unlike barcodes, which require visibility to the scanner, RFID labels can be completely obscured and still be read, meaning that items do not need to be removed from the trolley or shelf to be scanned. This functionality significantly reduces inventory time, allowing customers to check out without lifting or moving a single item.
