C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft announced on Monday new software to help small and midsize companies take advantage of new wireless technology that can help them to better manage their supply chains.
The company has added Radio Frequency Identification technology, which combines silicon chip and radio frequency technology to track inventory, to its Microsoft Axapta Warehouse Management software.
RFID has been lauded by manufacturers and retailers for its ability to provide better information about inventory and other data across the supply chain, which can increase product availability and help businesses reduce costs by trimming inventory levels.
