Apparel & Boutique Inventory in Minutes with RFID
Wirelessly count every top, dress and pair of jeans — every size and color — with RFID. Put RFID tags on your clothing and a handheld reader counts whole racks and tables at a time — no scanning tags one by one. Counts, receiving, transfers and finding items all get dramatically faster, and your POS stays in sync.
How Apparel Stores & Boutiques Use Senitron RFID
Keep every size on the floor
Count the floor and the stockroom separately and see which sizes and colors are in the back but missing from the rack, so you can replenish before a sale is lost.
Accurate stock for online orders
When the POS quantity is right, online orders, buy-online-pickup-in-store and ship-from-store stop failing on items that are not really there.
Find the item a customer asked for
The handheld finder beeps faster as you get closer to the exact piece — useful in a busy stockroom or on a crowded rack.
Move stock between boutiques
Scan the pieces going out, choose the store, and the transfer is created in your POS; the other store confirms it with one scan.
Apply RFID Labels. Count Like a Wizard.
Put RFID labels on your inventory, then wave the handheld reader past your shelves — it counts everything wirelessly in minutes, no scanning item by item.
- Use RFID hang tags or labels on the price tag — no change to how the garment looks
- Tag at the size and color level, so counts and transfers are exact
- Read folded stacks, hanging racks and stockroom shelves without line of sight
- Print and encode tags in the store from your POS catalog
Super-Fast Apparel Inventory Counts
No more closing early for counts. Press Start and walk the racks, the fitting rooms and the stockroom with a handheld RFID reader — it reads whole racks and folded stacks at once, without line of sight. Upload to the Senitron dashboard, review any discrepancies, and with one click push the corrected quantities back to your POS.

“Do you have it?” gets answered on the spot. Find any tagged item with the handheld’s Geiger finder — it beeps faster as you get closer — or look it up on the dashboard map.
RFID Transfer Slips
Transfer inventory between your apparel store locations wirelessly. Customers tell us this is the feature they love most — often even more than RFID cycle counting. Scan the items going out, choose the destination store and submit — Senitron creates the transfer in your POS and prints a packing list. At the receiving store, one scan validates the shipment in seconds, highlights anything missing and emails management.
Keep Every Size and Color Selling
Apparel comes in sizes and colors, and one missing medium can cost the sale. Senitron tracks every size and color of every style and tells your team what to bring out.
- Real-time replenishment alerts: when a size sells and the floor is out of it, Senitron sends an alert so staff bring one out from the back stock before the next customer asks.
- RFID at the register: on Shopify POS, associates scan several RFID tags at once at checkout with a small Bluetooth wand or pad, and the exact piece sold is recorded.
- Fitting rooms and go-backs: count the fitting rooms and the go-back rack in seconds, so pieces return to the floor instead of getting lost between rooms.
- New arrivals tagged before the floor: print RFID hang tags from your POS catalog or have them applied at the factory, then receive the whole carton by scan against the order.
- Hang tags made for garments: punched RFID hang tags go on a string or loop with the price. See the RFID label and hang tag catalog.

Learn more about the integrationApparel & Boutique RFID: Common Questions
How long does a full inventory count take in an apparel store?
Minutes. A handheld RFID reader reads hundreds of tags per second without line of sight, so the racks, tables, fitting rooms and stockroom are counted in minutes instead of a full day.
Can I find a size or color for a customer while they wait?
Yes. Look the item up on the handheld and the Geiger finder beeps faster as you get closer, so the associate finds the right size in the stockroom in seconds.
Does RFID help keep the sales floor full?
Yes. Senitron compares what is on the floor with the stockroom and shows which sizes and colors to bring out, so you never miss a sale because an item was in the back.
Does Senitron work with my POS?
Yes. Senitron works with Lightspeed, Shopify, Heartland, NCR Counterpoint, QuickBooks, Vend, Retail Pro and Treez, and syncs every adjustment back to your POS with one click. For enterprise, Senitron integrates with ERPs including NetSuite, Acumatica and Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Business Central, alongside your POS.
What does it cost, and is there a guarantee?
Software with seven-days-a-week support runs $200 to $500+ per location per month depending on your setup, month to month with no contract. One-time hardware: handheld scanners $1,550 to $3,500, printers $2,000 to $3,500, loss-prevention systems from $2,500, and labels $75 to $110 per roll of 1,000. Multi-location discounts, a price-match guarantee (we match or beat any comparable quote, apples to apples) and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can our factories tag items before they ship?
Yes. RFID labels can be printed and sent to your factories so stock arrives already tagged. Senitron has an office in China that prints, encodes, tests and ships labels, usually the same day.
We already use another RFID system. Do we have to re-tag?
In most cases, no. Tags that use the standard GS1 encoding keep working, and tags your vendors already apply are read as they are. Many retailers switch to Senitron for its POS integrations, features and support.
Can RFID send an alert when a size runs out on the sales floor?
Yes. When a size sells and the sales floor is out of it, Senitron sends a replenishment alert so staff bring one out from the back stock before the next customer asks for it.
Can associates scan RFID tags at checkout?
Yes, on Shopify POS. A small Bluetooth wand or pad reads several tags at once at the register, records the exact piece sold and can trigger a replenishment alert.
How do we roll out RFID in a clothing store?
Start with one store or the categories with the most stock problems. Connect your POS so the catalog comes in, tag existing stock by scanning each barcode and applying the printed RFID tag, then tag new arrivals at receiving or at the factory. Setup and training take about 2-4 hours. Read the complete guide to RFID in retail.
How quickly can we get started?
Setup and training take about 2-4 hours, done remotely by our US-based team, and hardware usually arrives within days, so most stores are counting with RFID within a week. Training sessions are recorded and support is unlimited.
