The U.S. market leads worldwide trends in retailing technologies. Recent advances in RFID for inventory systems and intelligent point-of-sale devices, have boosted the adoption rate of these technologies and created major new opportunities at retailers like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Best Buy, Circuit City, Costco and Barnes & Noble to name a few.

Channel partners like Ingram Micro and Tech Data now employ advanced supply chain information to customers that allow greater visibility all the way back to the manufacturing floor. As a result, replenishment times are shorter, inventories are more accurate and the flow of products more closely matches demand.
