SINGAPORE, July 14, 2011
/PRNewswire-Asia/ --Tyco Retail Solutions (www.tycoretailsolutions.com),
a leading global provider of retail performance and security
solutions sold through ADT and authorized business partners
worldwide, today announced the recent success of its
revolutionary Source Tag Recirculation program, designed not only
to help retailers improve supply chain and selling floor efficiency
but also improve profits. With an eye towards sustainability,
the initiative embraces green retailing principles by repurposing
tags to save valuable time, money and resources. With over
750 million hard tags re-circulated annually, Tyco Retail Solutions
is also well positioned to help the retail industry realize the
long term benefits of dual-technology (EAS/RFID) source tagging for
robust protection and unprecedented end-to-end inventory
visibility.

Recirculation.
"Retailers and retail supply chain
leaders are looking to achieve higher levels of efficiency and
customer satisfaction through sustainable, innovative growth
programs," said Leslie Hand, Research Director for IDC Retail
Insights.
Currently embraced by seven top
global apparel retailers, Tyco Retail Solutions' Source Tag
Recirculation program is based on over 40 years of Electronic
Article Surveillance (EAS) excellence in retail. Retailers
buy only the tags they need, and receive credits promptly when the
tags are returned for recirculation - Tyco bears all the hard tag
inventory risk. In addition, tagging costs can be built into the
garment, not buried in store payroll. With the hard tag
recirculation program, merchandise arrives ready to sell,
accelerating both sales and inventory turns. For example, a
leading global specialty apparel retailer switched from in-store to
source tagging, and moved 30% to 50% more merchandise to the sales
floor per hour. And when RFID technology joins EAS source tags,
retailers will enjoy the added benefits of advanced inventory
intelligence from end to end of a secure global supply chain.
Having an established EAS recirculation path will be a tremendous
advantage as retailers migrate to item level inventory
solutions.
Tyco's hard tag program repurposes
tags that are applied at the manufacturing source, and then
recirculated from the retail store. Tyco Retail Solutions is
the only supplier today with three automated recirculating
processing centers globally and eight tag distribution center
points, geographically positioned closer to garment manufacturing
to help save retailers the cost of freight and other costs
associated with purchasing source tags. The Source Tag
Recirculation program is an environmentally responsible initiative
retailers can easily integrate into existing sustainability
programs to underscore a commitment to protecting the
environment.
Recirculation reduces many of
the direct and indirect costs of an in-store program,
including:
"The Tyco Retail Solutions Source
Tag Recirculation program puts the infrastructure in place to
deliver cost-effective protection today, and unlock the full
capabilities of EAS and RFID for robust protection and end-to-end
inventory visibility tomorrow," said Kelvin Lam, VP for Retail and
Security Products, ADT Security, Asia Pacific."As an
environmentally conscious organization, we are committed to helping
retailers integrate responsible solutions into their global supply
chain and are proud to offer an innovative program that not only
supports green retailing but also helps our customers reduce labor
costs and improve profits."
