Comply With Customer Mandates At The Lowest Cost

The RFID Fulfillment Network™ was designed with a simple goal – enable customers to rapidly comply with customer mandates at the lowest cost per label.

We’ve attacked the high operating costs and capital outlays that make it economically painful to comply with customer mandates, with savings in four key areas:

• No capital outlay: The RFID Fulfillment Network™ is a turnkey system that includes everything needed to become RFID compliant. All equipment, tags and communication costs are included in the per label fee.
• Low cost per label: Our pricing is very simple – One Network offers the complete solution for a low price per label, based on your monthly volumes.
• Eliminate expensive EDI VAN charges: The RFID Fulfillment Network™ is part of One Network’s global network that connects customers, suppliers and transportation providers. Eliminate those costly and rigid EDI charges and use our powerful backbone for real-time communication for order management, ASN delivery and other key communication.
• Eliminate costly integration fees: Legacy RFID systems force the customer to assemble a multi-vendor solution, leading to long deployments and high costs. One Network delivers an easy to use turnkey system that in most cases will be fully operational in less than two weeks.

Compared to legacy, in-house RFID systems, One Network’s solution can reduce the cost per tag by 50 – 75%. The chart below provides a comparison of the cost per RFID label for a manufacturer generating 1,000 tags per month – over a three year period, the RFID Fulfillment System reduces costs by 62%.

Quantifying The Operational Savings – Delivering The "R" In ROI For Suppliers

For years, RFID has offered the promise of great operational efficiencies, business value and a high ROI (Return on Investment). However, adoption rates have been slowed by the high costs and capital outlays required by suppliers. One Network attacks this problem by reducing the cost/label and significantly improving supply chain operations. For the first time, suppliers can comply with RFID mandates at a price that increases their profitability. For the first time, suppliers can realize the internal operational value of RFID at a cost that drops value to their bottom line.

The key to our solution is that RFID is simply one service in an end-to-end network that manages global trade, multi-echelon replenishment and logistics. Putting the tag on the box is just the beginning of the process and just the beginning of the One Network solution. We combine advanced capabilities with a powerful global transaction backbone to manage deliver visibility, execution and innovative sense-and-respond functionality to rapidly respond to unexpected demand, supply, capacity or transportation changes.

One Network provides the RFID Value Assessment to both assess your organization’s requirements and quantify the value, using four key metrics:

• Reduce operating costs: RFID delivers significant cost savings in areas such as increased productivity, line speeds, warehouse efficiencies and inventory counting.
• Reduce working capital requirements: RFID improves inventory management and reduces working capital tied up enterprise-wide in inventory and the storage space requirements.
• Increase revenue: Perhaps the greatest RFID value is the ability to track inventory as it moves through the system and significantly reduce stock-outs that reduce revenue and profits.
• Improve customer retention: Higher levels of customer retention tie directly to reducing stock-outs (improved consumer experience and brand management) and to compliance with retailer or DoD RFID mandates (suppliers that don’t comply with RFID requirements risk losing that business).
