METRO Group, Checkpoint Systems expand RFID `Tag It Easy!` program

"Tag It Easy!" is part of METRO Group's Advanced Logistics Asia (ALA) initiative to jointly enhance logistics processes with its Asian suppliers using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to track merchandise throughout the supply chain. Because many suppliers in the region have limited technology capabilities, METRO Group developed the "Tag It Easy!" pilot to assist them with utilizing RFID within their operations.

Through its partnership with Checkpoint Systems, METRO Group is able to provide pre-printed RFID labels to suppliers in the region so that they can initiate the tracking process with only a minimal technology investment.

"Our Tag It Easy! RFID solution is a breakthrough, showing how integrated RFID solutions benefit both suppliers and retailer" says Dr. Gerd
