Retail RFID technology and solutions provider SML and PervasID, which provides high-accuracy UHF RFID reader systems for automating inventory and asset tracking, have formed an exclusive partnership for the retail sector. The companies will work together to deliver a combination of PervasID’s passive RFID reader technology and SML’s Clarity enterprise software solutions to drive higher profits for retailers. “As the retail RFID market continues to demand innovations to serve customers more effectively, we see a growing synergy between hands-free and handheld RFID solutions in stores and distribution centers and we see PervasID’s technology leading this innovation,” said Dean Frew, SML CTO. “With the adoption of item-level RFID solutions rapidly growing and with a large portion of those retailers running on our Clarity application platform, we see the addition of the
disruptive PervasID technology to our portfolio as being a key part of servicing our customers with enhanced returns on investments.” Dr Sabesan Sithamparanathan, PervasID founder and CEO, added: “We are delighted to be combining our innovative technology with SML’s solutions, global network and scale to help bring these innovations to retailers around the globe. “The biggest single challenge for all sizes and types of retailers is how to accurately and cost-effectively manage products inside their stores. The combination of the offerings from our two companies delivers unparalleled hands-free, real-time visibility capabilities. “The results drive tangible improvements to the bottom line in the form of reduced losses, but also stock management and insights and more efficient e-commerce picking and packing, and we’re excited to see the response from retailers.”

IT organisations now view careful management
of the end-user experience as a critical part of the endpoint lifecycle. Tanium XEM with DEX completes the endpoint management lifecycle and provides the first holistic platform available in this emerging category.” Tanium XEM with DEX features include: l Automated desktop notifications to inform employees about issues that may affect their experiences l Proactively triggered self-remediation options to avoid work disruption l Real-time health scores for organisations and the discrete endpoints in their environments to establish and improve upon baseline performance l The ability to use historical and current data to identify systemic issues, determine root causes, and remediate issues at scale l Qualitative and quantitative feedback loops to measure and improve employee satisfaction. “With the workplace expanding beyond traditional environments, enabling an exceptional digital work experience both on and off network is a must,” said Nic Surpatanu, chief product officer at Tanium. “Our DEX offering provides powerful insight into workflow and productivity within an organisation so any issue can be flagged before it becomes a problem.”
