The Suit Company Ginza RFID'd All Suits
The Suits Company is a popular apparel store that sells young men's suits. Their Ginza store started putting RFID tags on all 2,400 suits on their sales floor. The tags are now used to provide product-relevant information (why their suits are unique and good, and so on) and availability in the storeroom.
The company has been using a similar RFID system for men's shoes (it sounds similar to the ones that are used at Mitsukoshi stores) and consequently they reduced the number of salespeople at a shoe shop (there used to be 3 salespeople. now there are only 2. )
