In South African optometry, where a single pair of branded frames can retail for as much as R16,000, theft is a real threat to revenue. Thankfully, Globerisk’s RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tracking and tracing solution offers optometrists a practical way to reduce stock loss while maintaining a professional, customer-friendly environment.
Security Without Compromise
An RFID system revolutionises both inventory management and security. Unlike barcodes, RFID uses electromagnetic fields to track tags without line-of-sight scanning, enabling simultaneous reading of multiple items. This delivers near 99% inventory accuracy, reducing stock discrepancies and streamlining replenishment. For optometrists, where manual counts are time-consuming, Globerisk’s solutions save time and secure assets.
The system is designed to integrate into retail settings, without drawing attention. Using discreet equipment, each frame is tagged and encoded using AdvanStation, allowing for accurate tracking from display to checkout.
AdvanScan, a handheld reader, provides instant access to inventory data. This helps prevent discrepancies and supports stock control across the practice.
From Selection to Payment
Clients may browse displays freely, and when they select a frame, they can use AdvanLook to view product details and related styles. This ingenious digital ‘mirror’ is a huge selling tool, highlighting a practice’s efficiency and stock versatility. After payment, AdvanPay detects and deactivates the tag, reducing waiting time at checkout. When clients leave the store, AdvanGate confirms the product has been paid for, quietly reinforcing security.
A Clear Business Advantage
Globerisk’s RFID technology is designed to support accurate stock management and efficient store operations. Near-complete inventory accuracy is achievable with consistent use, and the system can be adapted to suit optometry practices of various sizes.
In an environment where theft, manual stocktaking and client experience must all be considered, RFID offers a clear, practical solution.
Globerisk supports each installation with ongoing assessments to ensure the solution continues to meet each client’s needs. Our approach combines security technology with professional insight, tailored to your retail space.
