QodeNext and Clustag have partnered to scale RAIN RFID adoption at source across South Asia, targeting fashion, sportswear, and home goods exporters facing tightening global compliance mandates. The alliance integrates Clustag’s encoding workstations, RFID tunnels, and Zentup middleware with QodeNext’s 200+ technical experts and local deployment network across India. With over 35 years of automatic data capture experience, QodeNext will serve as an implementation partner across factories and distribution centers. Executives cite South Asia’s strategic role in global traceability—calling the pact vital for meeting brand-mandated RFID requirements and accelerating digital transformation in regional manufacturing hubs.
According to indiashippingnews.com, QodeNext, one of India’s fastest-growing supply chain traceability and automation service providers, has formed a strategic collaboration with Clustag to integrate advanced RAIN RFID intralogistics solutions into its technology portfolio—specifically to accelerate at-source RFID adoption across South Asia.
Strategic Integration for Compliance & Visibility
The partnership combines QodeNext’s regional integration capabilities—with a presence in major Indian cities and more than 200 technical experts—with Clustag’s expertise in item-level RFID encoding, verification, and content control. Together, they will support manufacturers in deploying accurate RFID tagging directly at the point of manufacture. This capability is increasingly critical for exporters in fashion, sportswear, and home goods sectors seeking to meet compliance mandates from major global brands.
Solution Scope and Deployment Support
Under the alliance, manufacturers gain access to:
- Integrated RAIN RFID solutions for encoding and verification at source
- Advanced hardware and software integration, including Clustag’s encoding workstations, RFID tunnels for cartons and pallets, and its Zentup middleware platform
- Turnkey factory implementations
- Real-time supply chain visibility
- Local deployment support via QodeNext’s service network across India
Leveraging more than 35 years of experience in automatic data capture technologies, QodeNext will act as a key implementation partner for factories, distribution centers, and retail networks across India and Southeast Asia. Clustag identifies South Asia as a strategic market where accurate at-source encoding is becoming essential for participation in global supply chains.
