Barry Burnside, a Founder and Board Member of newave advised: " We are very  excited to be named to the 2019 Top 10 Merchandising Solutions Providers by Retail CIO Outlook. Our Smart Shelf technology is the first and only RFID system to provide real-time on shelf merchandise availability without the need for item tagging.

That model grew to be highly inefficient, and retailers know that the system needed an overhaul and smartShelf has proven to meet or exceed those expectations."
