Groenlo, The Netherlands – November 23, 2016
Nedap today announced that multi-brand menswear retailer Brandstad has successfully rolled-out iD Cloud, Nedap’s cloud-based RFID solution to all their stores in Norway. In close cooperation with Nedap’s local partner Securitas Teknikk, Brandstad rolled out the RFID solution to 18 stores within four weeks. iD Cloud enables Brandstad to significantly raise the stock accuracy and optimize the merchandise availability in their stores.
In July 2016, Brandstad was acquired by fashion retailer Moods of Norway, who have already been using Nedap’s iD Cloud solution since 2014. As Thomas Kjoesnes, Operations Manager at Brandstad stated: “We had already selected Nedap’s RFID solution, but the takeover by Moods of Norway has definitely accelerated the roll-out. The first results are amazing, because we already see a giant leap in our stock accuracy from 65% to 99%. To fully benefit, we opted for an integration of our retail system, Visma CS-Web, with iD Cloud. Now we can finally trust the numbers and improve our replenishment process to make sure that we always have the right products available for our brand sensitive customers.”

Cloud-based RFID solution with ERP integration
Once a week, the Brandstad employees take rapid inventory with Nedap’s iD Hand RFID handheld reader in the stores. After the stocktake, the results are sent to iD Cloud, which generates a difference list highlighting the differences between the RFID reads and the ERP data. After approval of the difference list, Visma CS-Web is automatically updated.
iD Cloud allows for easy integration of RFID with ERP systems without additional middleware
Danny Haak, Product Manager at Nedap
“The newly developed integration of the Visma software with iD Cloud is not only great for Brandstad, because in fact, all Visma retail customers can benefit from RFID from now on,” explained Danny Haak, Product Manager at Nedap. “iD Cloud allows for easy integration of RFID with ERP systems without additional middleware, which makes the implementation extremely fast and cost-effective for retailers.”
