The Lowest Cost Solution And No Capital Outlays

Legacy RFID systems require large, upfront capital outlays and high, ongoing operational costs that make it economically painful to comply with retailer or DoD mandates. The RFID Fulfillment Network™ puts an end to that with all costs based on a per-RFID label fee. There are no upfront capital outlays – all hardware and maintenance costs are included in the per label fee. There are no unpredictable monthly expenses. The Network even tracks label usage and automatically sends replenishment supplies.

Our pricing is very simple: starting at a monthly volume of 500 RFID tags, the cost is $1.24 per tag. As volumes go up, the cost per tag goes down. If you are generating several thousand tags per month, the cost savings are equally compelling. At 4,000 labels per month, the cost is $.50 per tag.

Compared to legacy, in-house RFID systems, One Network’s solution can reduce the cost per tag by 50 – 75%, eliminate all capital outlays and reduce supply chain costs. 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%.
