Netherlands - Remote store automation with the deployment of item-level Radio Frequency Identification installed in Almere and Maastricht
Progress Software Corporation (Nasdaq: PRGS), a supplier of leading technology to develop, deploy, integrate and manage business applications, today announced a significant breakthrough in remote store automation with the deployment of item-level RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) in an SOA (service oriented architecture) suite of applications, which will generate dramatic labor savings, reduce inventory reconciliation costs, improve stock control, enhance visibility into supply chain operations, increase shopper 'basket size' and enrich shopper experience. Progress customer, and the Netherlands' largest book retailer, Boekhandels Groep Nederland (BGN), is launching two new, fully-automated 'SmartStores' that combine item-level RFID tagging and SOA to deliver a tightly integrated 'warehouse-to-consumer' supply chain.
The first SmartStore, named 'Selexyz Scheltema(a)', opens on Tuesday, April 25, in Almere, Netherlands, and the second store opens in Maastricht in October.
