Retail Mandate Compliance
Adoption trends
- Suppliers complying with retailer mandates are not seeing significant benefits to their own operations, since these mandates reflect retailers' attempt to gain competitive advantage relative to their competition
- Infosys recommends that suppliers assess the long-term potential of RFID in their operations and ensure that their compliance investments can be leveraged in the future for gaining competitive advantage
- Infosys' Solution Integration Platform that enables device, application and data integration, combined with our global systems integration capabilities enables rapid deployment across geographies
