RFID as a subscription — not a capital project

No upfront capital.
Start small.
Grow into included hardware.

Pay for tags, not hardware. The RFID industry starts with a site survey and ends with a capital request. Insta-Trac starts with one location and a monthly number.

  • No capital expenditure, no install fee, no software license — an operating expense, not a budget committee
  • No site survey required — standard packages, days to go live, not months
  • Hardware, software, maintenance, support, and swap-outs all included
  • Proven in production across 20+ resale stores — see the case study

Illustrative. Value range reflects published study ranges (ECR Retail Loss: 1.5–5.5% sales lift) and our measured shrink reduction in a live multi-store deployment. Your numbers will vary.

Illustrative. Hardware is supplied based on project size and volume under standard packages; final scope is confirmed with an engineer. Volumes are annualized commitments per location. Additional hardware available at standard pricing.

One tag. Unlimited reads.

A single tag is read at production, in the backroom, on the floor, at checkout, at the door, and back through the distribution center — hundreds or thousands of read events across its life. You pay for the tag once. Every read after that is free. You’re buying visibility, not transactions.

Could your prices absorb nine cents?
That’s the whole system.

Per-item rate varies with deployment scope and hardware configuration. Applies to tag-subscription deployments (1M+ tagged items per location, per year); confirmed with an engineer before any commitment. Hardware is supplied based on project size and volume — no dollar value is representative of any specific deployment.

Frequently asked questions

How much does RFID cost per item?

At tag-subscription scale (1M+ tagged items per location, per year), the all-in rate is typically 7–9¢ per item. That covers the RFID tags, reader hardware (supplied based on project size and volume), the Insta-Trac software platform, ongoing support, and hardware swap-outs. There is no separate hardware invoice, no software license, and no per-read fee. The exact rate varies with deployment scope and hardware configuration and is confirmed with an engineer before any commitment.

Do I have to buy RFID hardware?

No. Below the included-hardware volume threshold, you pay a hardware subscription — monthly, not a capital purchase. At or above 1M tagged items per location per year, hardware is included: supplied based on project size and volume as part of the subscription. Either way, you never own the hardware risk.

Is there a site survey?

No. Insta-Trac uses standard packages that don’t require a custom site survey for each location. The engineering conversation covers your configuration and volume, and deployment is measured in days — not the months it takes to complete a traditional RFID site survey and capital proposal.

Do I pay per scan?

No. You pay once for the tag. Every read after that — at production, in the backroom, on the floor, at checkout, at the door, and back through the DC — is included at no additional cost. There is no per-scan fee, no per-read charge, and no transaction pricing. Unlimited reads are a core feature of the subscription.
