Retail leaders are 1,600% more likely to be using RFID than the laggards. That gap is enormous, and it’s basically a moat. That's the hard number Greg Buzek of IHL Group put on it in the latest Data Blades episode.

Here’s why RFID matters this much. It gives you inventory accuracy you can actually trust, item by item, in real time. And inventory accuracy is the thing every fancy AI initiative quietly depends on. You can’t promise a customer a buy online pickup in store window or a local delivery slot if you don’t know whether the item is really on the shelf.

RFID is one of the cleanest sources of clean data a store can have, and inventory accuracy is the payoff. You can’t fulfill what you can’t find. That’s the whole point of the connected supply chain.
