About RFID Sherpas
Retail RFID expertise built around business outcomes.
RFID Sherpas helps retailers move RFID beyond a technology initiative and into a scalable business capability — improving operations, strengthening visibility, and creating measurable value.
Who we are
Independent guidance. Deep retail context. Practical execution.
Independent by design
We do not resell RFID hardware, software, readers, or tags. Our recommendations stay focused on the retailer's priorities, requirements, economics, and operating model.
Retail through and through
Our work spans stores, distribution centers, sourcing, supply chain, omnichannel, inventory, analytics, training, executive alignment, and program governance.
Strategy through execution
We help connect the business case and roadmap to solution design, vendor selection, process re-engineering, rollout, adoption, measurement, and continued value realization.
