ClarityRFID vs Nedap iD Cloud

ClarityRFID is cloud-based retail RFID software for tracking item-level inventory across factory and distribution operations and stores. It has two offerings: Clarity Supply Chain handles carton audits and pack verification, while Clarity Store covers store counts, replenishment, fulfillment, and pricing. Store workflows also include promotions, shipment receipt, transfers, tagging, and role permissions. Clarity Store runs on handheld devices and the web, supports RFID and non-RFID counting, and can save work offline until a connection returns. Integration options include REST APIs, SFTP file exchange using CSV or XML, cloud blob storage, and webhooks, with inbound and outbound data flows. Listed connected systems include SAP S/4, OMS, POS sales feeds, WMS, warehouse control systems, 3PLs, and supplier systems. Clarity Store lists SSO and role-based permissions. Paid pricing is on request, and there is a free 30-day proof of concept for qualifying retailers, up to two stores, with readers and hardware included. The maker says SOC 1, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 audit work is underway, with certification targeted for January 2027.

Nedap iD Cloud gives retailers item-level inventory visibility across stores and the supply chain using RFID data. Its Store module covers counts, receiving, replenishment, item search, availability, fulfillment, and item-status workflows; that inventory data can support click-and-collect, reserve-in-store, and ship-from-store. The Supply Chain module connects RFID read points with item data and workflows to track receiving, shipments, returns, and movement. Loss Prevention brings together item movement, POS transactions, stock counts, and operational data to help teams investigate suspicious events and shrink patterns. The service is multi-tenant SaaS, with separate EU and US hosting environments and no on-premise servers or in-store infrastructure to maintain. Nedap lists more than 15 REST/JSON APIs, OpenAPI specifications, GS1 EPCIS, and OAuth 2.0 support for connections to ERP, POS, OMS, and ecommerce systems. Android and iOS apps support RFID label tasks such as counting, programming, printing, searching, and deactivating.
