-- Manufacturers can track movement of their merchandise on and off selling floors and placement (or lack thereof) of special promotion displays within a store.
-- Retailers can be alerted when products near the end of their shelf lives; they can also track how employees are moving products on and off selling floors.
-- Consumers will see fresher -- and fewer out-of-stock -- items.
