RFID cycle counting means counting part or all of your inventory with a handheld RFID reader instead of scanning barcodes one at a time. The reader counts hundreds of tags per second without line of sight, so a department, a stockroom or the whole store is counted in minutes. Because it is that fast, stores can cycle count weekly or even daily, and Senitron compares each count with the POS and syncs the corrections in one click — by category, brand or SKU, without counting everything every time.
Retail RFID solutions combine RFID tags or labels on merchandise, handheld and fixed RFID readers, and software that counts, finds and tracks every item. Senitron’s retail RFID solution counts a whole store in minutes, finds any item with the RFID locator, audits transfers between stores, prints RFID labels from your POS and syncs every adjustment with Shopify, Lightspeed and other POS systems or with NetSuite in one click.
Yes. Senitron offers the best RFID integrations for NetSuite and Acumatica, plus Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Business Central and Sage. That is enterprise-grade RFID: the ERP stays the system of record, your POS runs the register, and Senitron keeps them in step — with purchase orders, transfer orders, receiving and fulfillment, for stores and warehouses in one account. For NetSuite, Senitron also adds warehouse management: transfer orders with item fulfillments and receipts, multiple transfer and PO workflows, wave picking for sales orders, cartons, pallets and bills of lading, and vendor returns. Enterprise projects are custom quoted.
Tag the stockroom inventory with RFID labels and count it with a handheld reader as often as you like — boxes and stacked items are read without unpacking them. Senitron keeps stockroom and sales floor counts apart, flags items that need to be brought to the floor, checks deliveries at receiving, and optional fixed readers at the stockroom door can record items moving in and out automatically.
Senitron tracks the sales floor and the stockroom as separate locations, so you see not just how many units you have but where they are. After a count you can see which sizes or items are in the back but missing from the floor, get replenishment alerts, find any item with the handheld’s finder or the store map, and move stock between stores with transfer slips that update your POS.
Retail cycle counts are done with an enterprise handheld RFID reader running the Senitron app. It reads hundreds of tags per second without line of sight, so an associate counts 10,000–20,000 items in about 15–30 minutes by walking past racks and shelves; standard apparel labels read from about 15–25 feet. Senitron offers its own handheld (larger screen, faster reads, longer range) and Zebra models such as the MC3330xR and the long-range MC3390xR, from about $1,550 to $3,500. Counts can cover the whole store or one category, brand or SKU, and are compared with your POS and synced back with one click. Hardware is sold close to cost and arrives within days.
RFID offers a significant advantage over traditional barcode systems because it allows you to scan multiple items instantly without needing direct line-of-sight. This enables real-time RFID inventory tracking retail-wide, reduces manual errors, and automates your retail stock management system. For businesses looking to scale and improve efficiency, RFID is a far more powerful and future-ready solution.
The return comes from labor saved on counts, searching and transfers; sales recovered from items that were in the store but not on the floor; less over-ordering because reorders use real quantities; lower shrink; and fewer failed online orders. Retailers often tell us faster, audited transfers alone would have justified the system. The fastest payback comes from high-value or high-theft categories.
Fast. Setup and training take about 2-4 hours, done remotely by our US-based team — no site visit needed — and hardware usually arrives within days. Tagging existing stock takes a few days to a week (or start with one category), so most stores are counting with RFID within a week. Training sessions are recorded and support is unlimited.
Yes. Senitron has ready-made integrations with Shopify, Lightspeed (R-Series and X-Series), NCR Counterpoint, Heartland, Retail Pro, QuickBooks and TREEZ, and connects to NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Acumatica, Odoo and Retail Express — included in the subscription. Your item catalog comes from the POS, RFID counts are compared with POS quantities, and corrections and store-to-store transfers are synced back with one click. On Shopify POS you can also scan RFID tags at checkout and print RFID labels from the POS. Other systems work through CSV import and export. See all RFID POS system integrations.

On Shopify POS, Senitron adds RFID scanning at checkout: a small Bluetooth wand or pad reads the tags, records the exact serial number sold (not just the SKU), can deactivate the tag for loss prevention, and triggers a replenishment alert if that size is waiting in the back room.
Yes, Senitron’s RFID solution supports both RFID and traditional barcode systems. In situations where RFID tagging individual items isn’t practical, you can continue to use barcodes. The system allows for manual entry or confirmation of counts, ensuring flexibility and comprehensive inventory management.
Labeling existing inventory with RFID labels is straightforward. Senitron provides various methods for printing RFID labels, including scan-to-print functionality.

RFID technology enhances inventory accuracy by providing real-time data on stock levels and locations. This accuracy reduces errors in ordering and shipping, preventing overstocking or stockouts. By minimizing mistakes, companies save on costs associated with incorrect orders and improve overall operational efficiency.
RFID helps in two ways. Frequent counts show exactly which items went missing, by location, within days instead of at the annual count. RFID exit sensors at the door alert staff the moment a tagged item leaves without being sold — a strong deterrent that stops theft before it happens. Exit sensors work alongside your existing security tags.
Absolutely. RFID technology allows companies to monitor inventory levels and movements in real time, ensuring that products meet quality standards. By tracking items throughout the supply chain, businesses can quickly identify and address issues, maintain optimal stock levels, and provide customers with preferred products.

Senitron’s unique mapping technology displays item locations on a floor plan, significantly reducing the time spent searching for products.
RFID reader software interfaces with RFID hardware to collect, process, and manage data from RFID tags. It provides real-time updates on inventory, assists in locating products, enables sales floor replenishment, and integrates with existing systems like POS for seamless operations.
An RFID system consists of RFID tags and RFID readers. RFID tags are attached to items and contain stored data. RFID readers emit radio waves and receive signals from these tags when they are within range. This interaction allows for the wireless transmission of information about the item’s identity and status, facilitating real-time inventory tracking.
