RFID Inventory Management System for Warehouses & Stores
SeekSoft IMS by AOPL uses UHF RFID tags, fixed and handheld readers, and edge middleware to count, locate, and trace every pallet, carton, and item in real time, from dock door to store shelf, synced with your ERP, WMS, and POS across every site in India.
What is an RFID Inventory Management System?
An RFID inventory management system identifies, counts, and locates stock automatically using radio waves instead of manual scanning. It combines UHF RFID tags, fixed & handheld readers, edge middleware, and inventory analytics to record every receipt, movement, sale, and dispatch as it happens, without line-of-sight. SeekSoft IMS brings this into one dashboard, so warehouses and stores run on a single, verified version of stock truth.
Challenges Organizations Face
Why manual, spreadsheet, and barcode-only inventory control breaks down at warehouse and multi-store scale.
SeekSoft IMS Core Features
Research-backed RFID inventory capabilities, unified in a single dashboard for warehouse and store management and operational traceability.

Analytics, Alerts & Edge Deployment
Exception alerts, audit trails, and KPI dashboards, deployable on cloud, on-premise, or air-gapped edge infrastructure.
Single Dashboard for Every Warehouse & Store
SeekSoft IMS is built on one principle: every stock decision should come from one verified screen. The SeekSoft IMS control tower consolidates RFID reads from dock portals, handhelds, conveyors, smart shelves, and exit gates across warehouses, plant stores, and retail outlets into a single real-time inventory dashboard.
Operations heads see accuracy, fill rate, ageing, and exceptions by site. Store managers see floor-versus-back-room gaps. Auditors get time-stamped, tamper-evident traceability for every movement.
RFID Warehouse Management: Inbound to Outbound
SeekSoft IMS automates the RFID warehouse management workflow end to end. Passive UHF tags conforming to EPC Gen2 (ISO/IEC 18000-63) with GS1 encoding are read by dock portals, forklift-mounted readers, and handhelds operating in India's 865–867 MHz band, so goods are captured the moment they move.
GS1 reports EPC/RFID can raise inventory accuracy to 95% and cut cycle-counting time by 96% in documented retail applications.²
RFID Store Inventory for Retail & Plant Stores
In stores, accuracy converts directly into revenue. SeekSoft IMS delivers item-level RFID inventory tracking for apparel, footwear, electronics, pharmacy, and FMCG outlets, and for manufacturing plant stores holding MRO spares, tools, and consumables.
McKinsey reports RFID programmes delivering more than 25% improvement in inventory accuracy and a 1–3.5% increase in full-price sell-through in retail.⁶
SeekSoft IMS Solution Modules
Deploy the full platform or start with the module that removes your biggest bottleneck. Each one plugs into the same single dashboard.
RFID Inbound Receiving and GRN
Fixed RFID readers at dock doors read every tagged carton and pallet as it comes in and check it against the ASN and purchase order. Shorts, excess and wrong SKUs show up at the door, not days later, and the GRN posts to your ERP with a time-stamped record of what arrived, when and through which door.
Learn More →RFID Cycle Counting
Count stock without stopping work. Associates walk the aisles with RFID handhelds that read hundreds of tags a second, including on high racks, while fixed readers watch busy zones. Variances show up straight away and stock is adjusted in one step, so the system matches the shelf every day instead of once a year.
Learn More →Pick, Pack and Dispatch Verification
Confirm the right item at the pick face, check the full contents at the pack station and read every carton at the outbound portal before the truck leaves. Wrong SKUs, sizes and quantities are stopped before shipping, and each consignment carries item-level proof of exactly what was sent.
Learn More →RFID Store Replenishment
RFID reads in the back room and on the shop floor show which sizes and variants are in stock but not on display. SeekSoft IMS turns that gap into a replenishment task list for staff, so customers find what they came for and online orders promise only stock that's really there.
Learn More →Loss Prevention and RFID EAS
RFID exit gates identify exactly which item left without being sold, not just that something did. Every tagged item keeps its history from receiving to sale or return, so shrinkage is measured by store and category every week, returns are checked against what was sold, and recalls take minutes to trace.

Contact Us →RFID Inbound Receiving and GRN
Receiving is where inventory errors are born. With SeekSoft IMS, fixed RFID portals at dock doors read every tagged carton and pallet as it crosses the threshold, compare the result with the supplier ASN and purchase order, and post the goods receipt note to ERP, turning a manual count-and-key process into a verified, automatic transaction.
- ●Carton-by-carton scanning that jams the dock at peak hours
- ●Short and wrong deliveries found after the supplier has left
- ●Typing errors between the physical count and the ERP GRN
- ●No proof of what was received when a supplier disputes it
Before: Unload, count, scan, key GRN, reconcile discrepancies later
After: Pass pallet through portal; SeekSoft IMS reconciles and posts GRN automatically
KPIs impacted: Dock-to-stock time, receiving accuracy, supplier chargebacks
RFID Cycle Counting
Traditional stock-takes shut operations down and are wrong within days. SeekSoft IMS enables perpetual RFID inventory: associates walk aisles with handheld readers that capture hundreds of tags per second, while fixed zone readers watch high-value areas continuously. Variances are reconciled in the dashboard and pushed to ERP with a full audit trail.
- ●Annual wall-to-wall counts that stop picking and dispatch
- ●Phantom stock that blocks replenishment
- ●Counting errors on high racks and slow line-of-sight scanning
- ●Misplaced pallets found weeks too late
Before: Shutdown counts, clipboards, re-counts, and write-offs at year end
After: Frequent walk-by counts and continuous zone monitoring with instant variance
KPIs impacted: Inventory record accuracy, count labour hours, working capital
Pick, Pack and Dispatch Verification
Every wrong item shipped costs a return, a re-ship, and customer trust. SeekSoft IMS validates pick lists at the pick face, confirms contents at the pack station, and checks the complete load at the outbound portal against the dispatch order, so errors are caught while goods are still inside the building.
- ●Wrong item, size or quantity packed under time pressure
- ●Cartons loaded onto the wrong vehicle or route
- ●Customer disputes with no proof of what was shipped
- ●Manual outbound checks that hold up vehicles
Before: Pick by paper or barcode, visual pack check, manual load tally
After: RFID-verified pick, pack, and load with exceptions stopped at the dock
KPIs impacted: Order accuracy, returns rate, OTIF, vehicle turnaround
RFID Store Replenishment
Shoppers leave when the size or variant they want is in the back room, not on the floor. SeekSoft IMS compares shop-floor and back-room RFID reads in real time, generates replenishment tasks, and gives omnichannel teams item-level availability before a click-and-collect or ship-from-store promise is made.
- ●Sales lost on items sitting in the back room
- ●Store counts that take a full day and still miss items
- ●Online orders cancelled because store stock was wrong
- ●Markdowns on stock found too late in the season
Before: Visual floor checks, periodic store counts, blind online promises
After: Daily RFID floor sweeps, automatic replenishment lists, trusted availability
KPIs impacted: On-shelf availability, full-price sell-through, order fill rate
Loss Prevention and RFID EAS
SeekSoft IMS gives every tagged item a digital chain of custody: received, stored, moved, sold or dispatched, and returned. RFID exit gates identify exactly which item left without authorisation, returns are identified and graded instantly, and audit and compliance teams get a searchable history for recalls, warranty, and investigations.
- ●Shrinkage only measured at the annual audit
- ●Alarms that say something left but not what
- ●Returns fraud and slow restocking of returned goods
- ●Batch recalls that need a manual search across sites
Before: Security tags, manual incident logs, spreadsheet-based returns
After: Item-identified gate events, instant returns lookup, full movement history
KPIs impacted: Shrinkage rate, returns cycle time, recall response, audit readiness
