Swedish fashion retailer Lager 157 completes three store ClarityRFID pilot across Denmark, Sweden, Finland
Lager 157 has completed a pilot of ClarityRFID's Clarity Store solution, conducted in collaboration between the two teams across three stores: Naestved in Denmark, Nacka in Sweden and Raisio in Finland. This gave Lager 157 real-time, item level visibility into stock, and the results are now shaping plans for a wider roll-out across the retailer's store network.
During the pilot, Lager 157 says it saw stock accuracy reach as high as 98-99.8% and SKU accuracy climb as high as 97% in participating stores, improving the retailer's head office store level data. A full roll-out is planned for 2027.
“The pilot gave us a completely different level of visibility into our stock, down to the individual item,” says Gunnar Palm, Head of Controlling & Business Development at Lager 157. “That's exactly the insight we want as we plan our next stores.”
“Lager 157 has built a fast growing business on getting the basics right for its customers,” says Michael Quimby, GM at ClarityRFID. “The pilot showed what item level inventory visibility can do for a business like theirs, and we're looking forward to building on that as the roll-out continues.”
2026 RTIH Innovation Awards
Physical stores will be a key focus area at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards.
The awards are now open for entries and celebrate global retail technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.
Our winners will be revealed at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony, taking place at The HAC in Central London on Wednesday, 4th November.
Check out our 2025 winners here.
Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”
“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”
He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”
Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
