Omnitrol Networks' Platform Selected By BT to Provide Retailers with Real-Time Inventory Traceability and Predictive Replenishment Services

The momentum continues around our Retail Shop-Floor Inventory Tracking Solution.

Omnitrol Networks has been selected by BT, one of the world’s leading providers of communications solutions and services, for the deployment of RFID-based retail inventory solutions.

BT, behind Europe’s largest RFID retail deployment, will collaborate with Omnitrol Networks, to deliver proven and innovative merchandise tracking and visibility solutions for retailers around the world.
The solutions will track actual inventory movements and item-level velocity by stock keeping unit (SKU). They will deliver proactive real-time replenishment alerts and visibility for retail store managers. This will enable near-perfect tracking accuracy and forecasted inventory levels, which will help retailers dramatically increase employee productivity.

What makes this announcement significant is that other fully integrated solution providers don’t have the reach and RFID pedigree to support the global deployment of their solutions. Global retailers have specific requirements that require significant development/customization for the other solutions. Because of the proven OMNITROL platform, the new solution only requires configuration changes and minimum customization to meet new requirements. By combining this level of versatility and performance with BT’s global reach and IT expertise, the companies are now poised to deliver a truly global, RFID-based retail solution.

Omnitrol Networks enters relationship with BT Global Services to Deliver Real-Time Supply-Chain Visibility Solutions

We built our software with telco scale, performance and reliability in mind, it's only natural to see telco operators joining forces with us to deploy network-based solutions. But what's more exciting is to work with a leading technology integrator such as BT who has so much experience in the supply chain IT services area. You can read more here, but here's a short excerpt:

"We were previously developing customized solutions to address customer needs in the RFID market, which was quite costly and time consuming," Keith Sherry of BT Supply Chain Solutions told RFID Update. "Omnitrol gives us an appliance that can accept multiple sensor input and a platform for processing the data, which is enabling us to create solutions where we wouldn't otherwise be able to show a strong ROI."
