Built for retail, not retail-and-everything-else.
Retail is the only industry we build for. That means every release, every integration, and every consultant on the delivery team is pointed at the same problem you are.
Independently ranked a Leader in RFID inventory platforms for retail, ABI Research 2025.
A general platform has to be talked into your problem.
Horizontal inventory vendors serve warehouses, manufacturing, healthcare, and retail from one codebase. That is a reasonable business and a difficult product, because every retail-specific behavior competes with four other industries for the same roadmap.
Retail vocabulary
Styles, SKUs, sizes, banners, planograms, markdowns, fitting rooms. Concepts that exist in the product because they exist in your business, not bent out of a generic item model.
Retail edge cases
The shop-in-shop that reads differently, the concession that is somebody else's stock, the January sale that puts four price labels on one garment. All of it ordinary here.
Retail rhythms
Peak, sale, transition, stocktake. A platform built for retail expects the year to have a shape, and expects the busiest eight weeks to be the ones that matter most.
Retail people
The tool is used by colleagues on the floor, not by specialists. Anything that needs a manual has already failed, because the person holding it has a customer waiting.
People who have closed a fitting room at nine with three customers still browsing.
The delivery team came out of retail and ecommerce operations before it came into software. That is the difference between a consultant who asks what your process is and one who already knows why it is that way.
Owned by a group that does not flip companies.
RFID programs outlive the vendors that start them, so who owns your platform matters more than it should. ClarityRFID is part of Volaris Group, itself part of Constellation Software, which has been acquiring software companies since 1995 and holding them. Volaris is a group of focused businesses rather than one platform stretched across markets, which is why being owned by a company operating in forty verticals and being obsessed with one are not in tension.
The vendor changes shape.
- Acquisition by a larger vendor with a competing product and a migration path
- Investor timelines that make a five-year roadmap a three-year one
- Sunsetting of the product you bought in favor of the one they already had
The vendor stays put.
- Permanent ownership is the stated model, not an interim position before a sale
- Long horizons for a product whose customers plan hardware in decades
- A public roadmap where customers vote on what gets built next
Retail is a physical business, so we get on planes.
Relationships get built in person. Our consultants walk the stores, the distribution centers, and the head offices, because standing where the work actually happens tells you things a status call never will.

Retail focus is the first reason. These are the other four.
A named account owner, follow-the-sun support, and quarterly reviews in writing.
Customer success →SOC 1, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 under independent audit, targeted for January 2027.
Compliance →Reader choice stays yours, because the platform reads the protocol rather than the brand.
Hardware →Thousands of stores across more than seventy countries, delivered by regional teams.
Global →The shortest version of this argument is a pilot.
Thirty days in your own stores will tell you more about whether a platform was built for retail than any page about it can.
