RFID in LPP

The fashion giant is convinced that the RFID system will help streamline delivery processes and save employees’ time. It should also make it easier to check the conformity of the orders and improve the accuracy of the inventory status of goods. The company estimates that the introduction of RFID technology will also enhance its profitability due to increased efficiency, which should amount to a 3 pct increase in sales. The system will also make it easier to identify the best-selling products and so match them up in the best way to consumers’ expectations. Checkpoint already supplies the EAS electronic anti-theft system to LPP.

“The introduction of RFID is an important turning point in our activities. We are the first company in Poland and one of the first in the world to opt for this kind of technology. The RFID system will allow us to offer our clients a more personalised and accessible range of goods and it should improve the management of the product at every stage, starting from the production plant, through the distribution centre, to the stores. This is a challenge that we aim to meet because we believe that RFID is the technology of the future. The process is not easy because it requires huge organisational changes, but we think that the system is worth it,” insists Jacek Kujawa, a deputy CEO of LPP.

“We are supporting LPP in its vision of becoming a leading clothing company in Europe. This project will allow the company to increase its operational efficiency and improve customer satisfaction levels,” adds John Dargan, the CEO of Checkpoint Systems.

Checkpoint will cooperate with LPP’s suppliers, providing them with clips and labels fitted with RFID chips. In order to streamline the delivery process further, LPP is installing ‘RFID tunnels’ to enable precise control of the incoming and outgoing goods, thus guaranteeing the delivery of the correct selection to individual stores.

LPP is the owner of the Reserved, Cropp, House, Mohito and Sinsay fashion brands. Checkpoint Systems is an American company that produces and distributes systems for inventory management and labelling in the retail and clothing sectors around the world. It also sells electronic control systems for goods.
