Menlo Worldwide Inc., a subsidiary of CNF Inc., announced Thursday that it has developed two new low-cost RFID compliance solutions for its customers: Tag & Ship, and Tag & Ship Plus.

The packages combine Menlo's supply chain and operational expertise with RFID technology to help customers comply with the RFID supply chain mandates set forth by many large retailers. Walmart kicked off RFID mandates with a program announced last year. RFID stands for radio frequency identification.
According to Menlo's press release, their solutions include the software, RFID hardware, and service necessary to help customers put together a completely RFID-compliant operation.
With Tag & Ship, RFID tags are applied according to compliance specifications at the case and pallet level. This solution includes configuration and training that enables Menlo's customers' operations to be completely compliant with retailers' RFID requirements.
Tag & Ship Plus provides RFID shipping portals for final tag verification during the shipping process. The additional reporting feature that comes with Tag & Ship Plus allows customers to produce various reports to improve overall compliance performance and tracking.
Menlo worked on the solutions with Shipcom Inc., a provider of enterprise RFID solutions. Both offerings are powered by Shipcom Inc.'s Catamaran software, which may be expanded as business and RFID needs grow.
