Hyungji Elite, a publicly traded South Korean apparel company and affiliate of Fashion Group Hyungji specialising in school uniforms, corporate workwear, and licensed sports merchandise, introduces Beontag’s RFID tags across its product management lifecycle.
Data-driven inspection and inventory counts
The first step is the 2027 season merchandise, and the goal is simple: replace manual inspection and inventory counts with a faster, more accurate, data-driven way of working.
Until now, inbound and outbound inspections and inventory audits relied on manual methods, where products are checked one by one. This takes time, and it inevitably leads to discrepancies between the physical stock on the shelf and the stock recorded in the system. Those gaps cost money, either as lost sales when products are not available or as excess inventory that ties up resources.
With RFID, tags attached to the products are read wirelessly, and many items can be identified at the same time, without scanning barcodes individually. For the teams at Hyungji Elite, this means inbound and outbound checks and inventory audits can be automated, with shorter inspection times and higher accuracy. A more reliable view of stock helps reduce both missed sales opportunities and the burden of overstock.
What’s being tagged?
The 2027 season will launch RFID implementation with its first brand, covering 4 million pieces utilising Tricto M830 and ECO Hook M M830 tags. By identifying each item individually, Hyungji Elite will build product-level data that tracks goods across production, logistics, and sales—laying the foundation for enhanced demand forecasting as well as precise production and inventory planning.
A foundation for digital product management
For Hyungji Elite, this project goes beyond upgrading a logistics process. It is a step toward digitalising how products are managed end to end, with one consistent source of data across production, logistics and sales.
“Through our cooperation with Beontag, we have established the groundwork to enhance efficiency across product management and logistics operations. Starting with the introduction of RFID, we will continuously strengthen our smart logistics system across production, logistics, and sales,” said Mr. Junho Choi, Executive Vice Chairman, Hyungji Elite.
