How Wave Works

How it works in 3 steps

Place RAIN RFID tags on your products. Each tag is programmed with the UPC/SKU of the product so you know what it is.

Take inventory with Wave. Wave scans about 700 items per minute per handheld. Add more handhelds for larger stores or more locations.

Sync your inventory to your ERP. Weekly inventory updates take minutes per location and keep stock fresh.

SimplyRFiD Wave is an inventory counting system that makes daily inventory possible — with RFID.

Features

De-Inventory (DeInv)

Remove the burden of ‘centralized’ inventory and adopt decentralized inventrory. Wave takes inventory by item, shelf, location in minutes vs. legacy quarterly centralized inventory write-offs. With DeInv, you can turn any pile of inventory from unknown to sellable.

Managing

Manage millions of items by shelf. Sync thousands of locations and users with custom groups and security levels. Single store, multi-store, or a mix of access control of your global inventory.

Reporting

Daily inventory differentials and accurate inventory counts for fulfillment, ERP integration, and decision making

Synchronization

Sync your inventory automatically amongst stores and your online ecommerce inventory.

Speed

RAIN RFID scans about between 500 and 1,000 per minute. Most stores take 20 minutes to inventory by using one or more handhelds.

Pictures

Set pictures for any item and displays in your list as you're inventorying items.

Custom Fields

You can select custom field names and properties for your products.

Indoor and Outdoor GPS

Wave uses SimplyRFiD Marker tags to provide an indoor GPS location of your items. Your store isn’t one area - and Wave knows the difference between the backroom, end cap, and front display.

Locate

Wave lets you locate any item type by name and begins beeping (Geiger counter) as you get close.

* Wave scans about 1,300 items per second, but due to the limitation of how fast humans can move, we find the average respectable consistent throughput from 500-1,000 items per minute at typical retail stores.
