Nowadays, many shops have adopted RFID, Radio-frequency identification. These electronic tags contain stored information, which enables the shop to identify and track the object.  IT and technology systems are definitely one of the key for a business to progress.

American Apparel’s VP of technology stated that: “Stores that are using the RFID system have proven to reduce shrink, improve stock levels and reduce [employee] turnover.” IT has become one of the key resources firms would and should invest in. Technology here provides security and control. RFID is a good system to control stock and inventory.  From short to run long run, the technology promises, “store performance to the technology”. Not only it controls inventory databases but it helps to identify whether an item should be replenished or not. Furthermore, it also changes the culture internally, employees are more aware that items are highly security control and that there’s less chance for theft. Management control is also improved.
