TORONTO — Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. announced it has received an order from Staples Business Depot to equip four additional stores with AbsoluteSKY's intelliTRACKER Product Suite in early 2008.
Staples' decision follows a highly successful installation of the automated, long-range inventory tracking system by the Fujitsu/AbsoluteSKY team in May 2007 that has continued to reliably produce significant results.
"We tested the system on 1,500 SKUs in one store and we are expanding the project to additional stores," said Joe Soares, the director of process engineering for Staples Canada and Business Depot. "The results have been so impressive that we want to validate that they can be replicated throughout the chain."
Soares added that the intelliTRACKER system continuously delivered a 100-percent accurate read rate and delivered a 21-percent reduction in out-of-stocks for the items that were tracked in a solid closed-loop. His team also concluded that the cost-per-use of the reusable RFID-enabled intelliTAGs over a five-year lifespan was eight cents.
