Super-Fast & Accurate Inventory
Once you switch to RFID, doing inventory becomes easy. You no longer have to shut down and get a crew of 10 people to do inventory; instead, do inventory as often as desired. Click the Start button, and scan in your inventory wirelessly with your mobile handheld RFID scanner for 30 minutes to a few hours. Then, push a button to upload to your Athena RFID inventory dashboard, compare, inspect, and address any discrepancies, and with a push of a button push your inventory into your POS / ERP / WHM to correct its quantities.
Senitron works with your POS and ERP — see every RFID POS system integration, and enterprise integrations for NetSuite, Acumatica and Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Business Central. Any other system connects through CSV import and export or a custom integration.

Quickly Locate Specific Inventory
With RFID technology is becomes super easy and fast to find any inventory item. You can find an item wirelessly using the handheld RFID scanner Geiger / proximity finder, or look on the cloud dashboard map.
RFID Transfer-Slips
Creating transfer-slips between locations in lightspeed POS is now made super easy and fast with RFID technology. Simply scan-in a inventory wirelessly with your mobile handheld RFID scanner, select the destination location and submit. Next Senitron’s RFID software automatically creates the transfer-slip for you in lightspeed POS, and allows you to print a transfer packing-list. In the destination location, the receiver uses a mobile handheld RFID scanner to pull up the transfer-slip, and quickly in seconds receives and validates the received goods, and quickly highlight any missing items, and emails management if anything is missing.
Hands-Free Inventory & Movement Detection & Logging
Fixed RFID readers can be deployed in various areas, and especially choke points to automatically detect, tracking, and log inventory locations. For example in a retail or warehouse use case, the system would automatically know if the items are in the back-stock or the sales floor, or warehouse 1 or warehouse 2. Additionally Fixed RFID readers can be installed in various areas, to repeatedly read inventory real-time all the time, and log asset movement. eg. log “movement sales floor > back-stock 2/1/2021 5:25pm”
Example: a customer buys a yellow vest in size medium. As soon as it sells, Senitron sees the sales floor is out of that size and sends a replenishment alert, so staff bring one out from the back stock before the next customer asks for it.
Theft / Unauthorized Alerts!
The Senitron RFID solution is 100% compatible with Fixed RFID readers, thus you can install Fixed RFID readers at entrance / exit points to monitor incoming and outgoing inventory, and additionally receive SMS / Email / Audio alerts if inventory leaves the premise that should not have. (for example if an item is sold on the POS, it would be whitelisted to not set off an alert.)
RFID labeling made easy!
“We make RFID Printing and labeling you inventory easy”
Once you receive your RFID hardware, and labels, we schedule a 1–2-hour session with you, and give you access to the software, configure & test & validate your RFID printing, and give the green light to start printing RFID labels for your existing inventory, as well as new inventory. Of course, our solution supports multiple methods of printing RFID labels, such as printing labels directly from Lightspeed, or the Senitron dashboard, bulk printing, or the mobile hand-held scan-to-print module.
Scan & Print
Quickly RFID label the existing inventory by barcode scanning in the barcode on any inventory item and instantly an RFID equivalent of the label prints out, and you apply it over the existing non-RFID label.
All supported RFID Printing Methods:
- Directly inside Lightspeed
- Senitron RFID Inventory Web Dashboard
- Bulk Print (Senitron Dashboard)
- Scan & Print Using Mobile Hand-held
Shelf-Tag / Barcode Inventory Support
Senitron’s solution support the best of both worlds, and works with both RFID and non-RFID barcode inventory. Small or low-cost items can be counted in the same inventory by scanning their barcode, so everything is in one place.
Retailers all over the world are benefiting from Senitron’s RFID technology; there are a wide array of choices, such as hand-held RFID inventory scanning / reading, as well as hybrid solutions with fixed hands-free RFID for an entire location, or checkpoints that may exist or sales floor and back stock. The solution can be used with any POS such as Lightspeed POS, Retail Pro, or Counter Point.
Hand-Held RFID Solution for Retailers
The #1 benefit of RFID for retailer is that it enables inventory cycle counts to become 2800% faster than any other count method. It is the simplest, fastest, and most cost effective way to attain this benefit. Simply start applying RFID labels, and use hand-held RFID scanners as often as desired to count the inventory. The inventory counts can be synced into any POS; the POS quantities can be downloaded into the RFID for comparison before being synced back into the POS software. The solution is compatible with all POS software, such as LightSpeed, Retail Pro, and Counter-Point.
Hybrid Hand-Held RFID + Hands-Free RFID
Once a retail organization has adapted to using RFID for conducting inventory using hand-held RFID scanning, the next evolution for the technology is added. The involves adding fixed RFID sensors to important areas, such as sensors in the back-stock to sales floor pathways so that the system can distinguish when items move from one zone to another, which can help set off replenishment alerts. Fixed RFID readers, can be added to the exits, to distinguish when items leave the premises and to assist in theft alerts. Some retailers also prefer to cover the entire insides of the retail space with sensors that can live track items inside and provide real-time mapping as things move around, which is desirable for large space retailers.
FAQ – RFID Labels – Selecting & Ordering
What are the major differences between RFID tags? RFID tags can be in the form of lower-cost sticker labels, hangtags, or in solid robust (higher cost) forms. One of the first steps to going RFID is to start using and printing RFID product labels, instead of normal non-RFID labels…
Understanding RFID Technology
The field of view is 59 degrees, similar to a flashlight, and similar to the shape of a cone. The closer RFID tags are to the antenna the more power they absorb, and the better communication they will have with the antenna. Senitron approved tags usually read from 25-35 feet distance…

Retail RFID: Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Senitron software with seven-days-a-week US-based support runs $200 to $500+ per store per month depending on your setup, month to month with no contract. Hardware is one-time: 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. We offer multi-store discounts, match or beat any comparable quote (apples to apples), and give a 30-day money-back guarantee. Enterprise, ERP-integrated systems (NetSuite, Acumatica, Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Business Central, Sage) are custom quoted. See the full breakdown in our guide to RFID in retail.
Yes. Senitron will match or beat any comparable quote, apples to apples — the same features, hardware and US-based support. Software is month to month with no contract, hardware is sold close to cost with multi-store discounts, every plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and financing or leasing is available.
Yes, Senitron’s RFID solution supports multi-user systems where you can create user roles and provide access to specific pages and functions. It also supports multi-location operations, allowing you to access and manage inventory across all your organization’s locations from the same dashboard.
Yes, the system allows you to set expected inventory quantities and receive real-time replenishment alerts when stock levels fall below predefined thresholds. This feature ensures that you maintain optimal inventory levels and prevent stockouts.
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.
Labeling existing inventory with RFID labels is straightforward. Senitron provides various methods for printing RFID labels, including scan-to-print functionality. You can quickly replace non-RFID labels by scanning the item’s barcode and printing an equivalent RFID label to apply over the existing one, minimizing disruption to your operations.
Fashion retailers adopt RFID technology to streamline inventory management and reduce labor costs associated with manual stock counts. RFID enables real-time tracking of inventory levels, automatic reordering, and improved stock availability, leading to enhanced customer satisfaction and 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.
With RFID technology, you can swiftly locate items using handheld RFID scanners equipped with Geiger counter functionality or by referencing a cloud-based dashboard map. Senitron’s unique mapping technology displays item locations on a floor plan, significantly reducing the time spent searching for products.
No. Senitron fits the way you already work: your catalog stays in your POS, you can keep printing labels from the POS or print from the Senitron portal and handheld, and counts, corrections and transfers sync back to the POS. Replace your barcode labels with RFID labels as items come in, or tag one category at a time.
