Closing The Gap in Retail Inventory Management

September 3, 2025


The biggest gap in retail inventory management lies between what retailers think they have in stock and what they actually have available to sell. Traditional stocktaking methods—manual counts or barcode scanning—widen this gap. They are time-consuming, dependent on manpower, and prone to human error. This gap shows up as inaccurate inventory data, misplaced stock, frequent stockouts, and dissatisfied customers. It also ties up valuable staff hours in repetitive after-hours tasks instead of customer-facing service.


This is where RFID and Tunity Technologies’s inventory management solution, T-CUBE, bridge the divide. By replacing manual scanning with contactless RFID capture, stocktakes that once
consumed days can now be completed in hours. The improved accuracy gives managers a trusted, real-time view of stock on shelves, in the storeroom, or in transit. And because T-CUBE integrates seamlessly with ERP systems, this accurate data flows automatically into purchasing, replenishment, and sales—transforming static counts into actionable insights. The result: faster operations, smarter replenishment, lower costs, and a better shopping experience for customers.

The RFID + T-CUBE Advantage

With T-CUBE, powered by RFID Technology, retailers can revolutionize their stocktake and inventory management processes:
  • Capture hundreds of items per second without line-of-sight scanning.
  • Achieve >98% inventory accuracy across multiple locations.
  • Conduct full stocktakes in hours instead of days.
  • Free up staff from manual counting so they can focus on customer service.
  • Drive higher sales through fewer stockouts and better replenishment.

But speed and accuracy are only part of the story. With GS1 standards built into T-CUBE, every item is tracked using globally recognized identifiers. This creates a foundation of trusted data—data that can be shared with suppliers, partners, and customers with confidence. Trusted data enables traceability, compliance, and interoperability across the entire retail ecosystem.

The outcome? Retailers reduce operational costs, optimize replenishment, prevent stockouts, and strengthen customer trust—all while building a future-proof inventory management process that is scalable, accurate, and globally aligned.

T-CUBE is designed to be GS1 GTIN-ready, ensuring your RFID adoption is built on a foundation of trusted, standardized data. By aligning with GS1 standards, retailers can:
  • Ensure global interoperability across suppliers and partners.
  • Enable traceability and compliance with universal item identifiers.
  • Build customer trust with consistent, accurate product information.
  • Gain end-to-end visibility from supply chain to sales floor.
  • Future-proof operations with scalable, standards-based integration into ERP and retail systems.

With T-CUBE + GS1, retailers move beyond operational efficiency to data confidence—empowering smarter decisions, better customer experiences, and sustainable business growth.
