Case Study: Fanatics achieves faster checkout and improved inventory visibility with Zebra RFID

Fanatics cuts inventory counts from 6-8 hours to 1 hour with Zebra

Fanatics, a leading global digital sports platform, sought to optimize its checkout process and improve inventory management. To address this challenge, they partnered with Zebra to implement an RFID technology solution utilizing products like the Zebra FX9600 Fixed RFID Reader and RFD90 UHF RFID Sleds.

The solution implemented by Zebra dramatically streamlined operations. Inventory counts that previously took 6-8 hours were reduced to just one hour, enabling more frequent checks and reducing discrepancies. At checkout, the RFID technology allowed multiple items to be scanned in seconds, cutting customer wait times. This efficiency allowed Fanatics to reduce the number of employees needed at the point of sale, freeing up staff to assist customers on the sales floor and significantly enhancing the overall fan experience.
