Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide streamline techniques to alert sales personal/associate of an item in need of replenishment on the sales floor or in the stock room, and provide real-time data indicating units of an item within a retail location. The present disclosure provides a method, system and computer readable medium for inventory management utilizing radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology. The method may include detecting a first signal from an electronic product code (EPC) tag at a first location; generating a value of an inventory count based on the first signal; detecting a second signal from the EPC tag at a second location; updating the value of the inventory count based on the second signal; comparing the updated value to a threshold value, and when the updated value meets the threshold; and sending a notification of a task to a mobile device.
