In their own words
RIOT Insight
RIOT Insight is RFID inventory software for fashion retailers seeking real-time stock control and visibility. RIOT Mobile, available on Android and iOS, supports inventory taking, replenishment, product locating, reservations, RFID scan encoding, and EPC tag voiding. The browser-based RIOT Portal adds stock-taking and scan views, variance auditing, count confirmation, escalations, adjustments, analytics, reports, KPI widgets, and administration. RIOT Encode creates and prints store tags with EPC, barcode, and QR representations. RIOT Connect is an SDK linking POS, merchandising, ERP, and OMS systems. POS integration can capture EPCs for sales, returns, exchanges, transfers, adjustments, and laybuy transactions. RIOT Gateway gathers reader and optional product data before streaming it to RIOT Insight Cloud; a gateway model supports retailers not ready for full cloud migration. Plans include $100 a month per location for RIOT RFID Plus 1 and $125 a month per location/warehouse for RIOT RFID Base.
