Frequently asked questions

What are the best retail asset tracking solutions for high-volume stores?

The best solutions provide continuous, real-time item-level visibility and reduce dependence on manual scans while connecting the physical movement of goods to the inventory systems teams already use. For high-volume stores, the best fit is usually a platform that supports scan-free visibility and inventory insights, with exception handling across receiving, storage, replenishment, and store operations.

How do tracking stickers improve inventory visibility compared to barcodes?

Tracking stickers based on ambient IoT can create signals without requiring an associate to scan each item at each checkpoint. Barcodes still work well for controlled scan events, but cloud-connected IoT Pixels can help physical products be identified and monitored between those events, which is where many inventory mismatches start.

Which supply chain visibility tools integrate best with existing warehouse management systems?

The best fit is a platform that extends existing WMS and ERP workflows rather than replacing them. Look for real-time inventory intelligence that can support receiving and shipment verification, while also helping with replenishment and variance investigation. The system of record still needs to stay usable for operators and finance teams. Source: Wiliot Physical AI platform
