Trace RFID

Count in half a day. Trust the number all month.

Stock figures go stale the moment a count ends. Every purchase order, every online promise, every top-up runs against a number that is quietly ageing. Manual counts across many stores and a warehouse eat your managers' month.

  • Item-level accuracy held all the time. 95%+ versus roughly 65% on manual counts, not just on count day.
  • Stock-takes from days to hours. Every store, every month, without pulling managers off the floor.
  • End to end and fully managed. Software, hardware, encoding and printing, the rollout and the analytics. One team, one project. Not a kit of parts.

Where others sell you software or tags, Groworx goes head-to-head on the software and runs the whole project on the ground.

Why manual counts are a false economy.

A manual stock-take gives you a good number for about 24 hours. Then a sale happens without a scan, a receipt gets miscounted, an item walks out the back, and by day seven the number is worse than a guess. Replenishment orders go out against wrong figures. Buyers over-order the slow lines and under-order the runners. The gap between what the system says and what is on the shelf grows silently until the next count.

How RFID changes the maths.

Every item wears a passive RFID tag. A handheld reader walks a store in half a day and updates POSibolt as it goes. Weekly counts become realistic. Monthly counts become a formality. Loss detection stops being a spreadsheet exercise and becomes a real-time flag on the exact SKU that is walking.

End to end, one project.

Where competitors sell you either the software or the tags, Groworx does the software, the tags, the encoding, the printing, the store rollout and the analytics. You get one project manager, one Slack channel and one bill.

Frequently asked questions

What is RFID stock counting? +
Every item is tagged with a small passive RFID chip. A handheld reader picks up hundreds of tags at once without line-of-sight, so a full store count takes hours instead of days and stays accurate as you sell.
How accurate is Trace RFID? +
95%+ item-level accuracy held continuously through the month, versus roughly 65% on manual counts that decay from count day.
Which retail verticals is Trace RFID best for? +
Fashion and footwear, hardware, auto parts, toys and specialty. Anywhere with a wide SKU count and hard-to-track shrinkage. Fresh food and grocery are usually not the right fit.
What does the tag cost per item? +
Ask us for a per-item quote at your volume. Tag cost varies by tag spec, volume and encoding option, and the bigger cost question is usually the printing and encoding operation itself, which Groworx runs for you.
How is Trace RFID different from RIOT? +
RIOT is an RFID-only product that a retailer then integrates with someone else's POS or ERP. Trace RFID runs natively on POSibolt, so the RFID reads land straight in the same system that runs your tills and your online orders. And Groworx runs the whole project, not just the RFID software.
How long is a first rollout? +
Typically 8 to 12 weeks for a first store, then 2 to 4 weeks per subsequent store as the process gets templated.
