"Telstra indicates that it improved its inventory accuracy through increased visibility from 65 percent to 99 percent...and reduced the time it spent receiving goods by 75 percent, the time spent on stock-taking by 50 percent and the time spent searching for missing items by 50 percent," the report said. According to RFID Journal, the system was developed by Telstra Enterprise & Government in conjunction with NEC. "Miami-based supply chain management firm Brightstar, which manages Telstra's DC, had approached Telstra's retail arm, urging it to trial RFID to improve visibility within the supply chain," it said. Information from the tracking system was made available to the staff via a Web-based portal Adaptive Asset Manager (AAM), designed by NEC and customised by Telstra Enterprise & Government. Julien Marchand, Telstra's project manager, was quoted saying that Telstra "strongly consider full rollout of RFID across all 130 stores," but will have to wait until an IT systems refresh update underway across all stores is completed.
