This exclusive partnership will focus on delivering a unique combination of PervasID's passive RFID reader technology and SML's Clarity™ enterprise software solutions to drive higher profits for retailers.

According to SML CTO, Dean Frew, "As the Retail RFID market continues to demand innovations to serve customers more effectively, we see a growing synergy between hands-free and handheld RFID solutions in stores and distribution centers and we see PervasID's technology leading this innovation."

With item-level RFID solutions rapidly growing and a large portion of those retailers running on SML's Clarity application platform, the addition of PervasID technology to their portfolio is seen as a key part of servicing customers with enhanced returns on investments.
