An outlet store or factory outlet or “Best Saving Outlet” is a retail store in which manufacturers sell their stock directly to the public through their own branded stores. Often these stores are grouped together in outlet malls. The invention of the retail outlet store is often credited to Harold Alfond, founder of the Dexter Shoe Company.

Clothing, sporting goods, electrical products, cosmetics, and toys are among the types of items sold at outlet malls.

Outlet malls first appeared in the US as a development of the traditional factory outlet: a store attached to a factory or warehouse. An outlet mall places several such outlets under one roof in a convenient location, usually an “out-of-town” site. The out-of-town site minimizes overhead costs.

Although Canada has its own outlet malls, American outlet malls located in border states have become tremendously popular with Canadians engaging in cross-border shopping.

Sewing up the competition: You are a logistics leader for the highly competitive garment industry with customers in 35 countries on five continents. Your customers, many of them brand leaders, want to protect their profit margins from product diversion and counterfeiting while maximizing in-store product availability. How can you enhance your offering with a solution thats made to measure for your customers?

One way is to demonstrate how RFID can significantly enhance supply chain management and in-store operations for key players garment manufacturers, brand owners, retailers and logistics providers alike. By teaming up with UPM Raflatac and ADT, a provider of electronic security systems, Salpomec has created the worlds first Apparel RFID Solution Center, located in Lahti, Finland. Opened in May 2007, it will play host to up to 100 garment manufacturers, retailers and logistics providers in its first year.

Visitors to the Apparel RFID Solution Center will view an end-to-end supply chain that demonstrates source tagging, automatic goods reception, an RFID-based sorting system, replenishment and store inventory management as well as point-of-sale operations and security to demonstrate the technologys advantages over conventional inventory management processes. The solution leverages UPM Raflatacs Web UHF tag to reduce shrinkage and out-of-stocks for retailers, while streamlining operational processes for all retail partners. Says Jarkko Kuusisto, CEO of Salpomec: Apparel manufacturing often takes place on one continent with the goods being sold in an entirely different location. This increases the demand for up-to-date and accurate information throughout the entire supply chain. RFID can deliver this by offering levels of information and control.

From the stock room to the store floor, RFIDs ability to authenticate, identify and control apparel helps retail players enhance supply chain management and in-store retail operations. An RFID tag on every item of clothing? Now thats dressing for success.
