Perry Ellis reduces order discrepancies by 17% with RFID tunnels. The fashion brand reduces chargebacks by automating final order verification with RFID. By MMH Staff · October 23, 2026 Fashion group Perry Ellis International has deployed an automated post-picking validation system based on RAIN RFID tunnels at its distribution center in the Atlanta area, resulting in more accurate orders and fewer retailer chargebacks. The project targets final order validation after picking and just before shipment to wholesale customers and retail networks. While picking operations were already supported by pick-to-light systems, final verification still relied heavily on manual checks, making it difficult to detect discrepancies before shipments left the facility. Missing or excess items in these orders can result in costly chargebacks from retailers. To eliminate this risk, Perry Ellis implemented high-density RAIN RFID tunnels from Clustag, fully integrated into its existing conveyor lines. The solution automatically validates the contents of each open box after picking, comparing in real time the items detected by RAIN RFID with the expected order data. The system combines Clustag MOT Station RAIN RFID tunnels, capable of processing up to 1,000 boxes per hour and reading up to 600 items per box, The entire process is orchestrated by Zentup, Clustag's middleware platform, fully integrated with Perry Ellis' Manhattan WMS, ensuring real-time EPC-level validation and allowing only compliant orders to proceed to shipping. Since go-live, Perry Ellis has achieved a 17% reduction in discrepancies detected after the RAIN RFID tunnels, along with a significant decrease in non-compliant shipments reaching B2B customers. This has translated into substantial savings in chargeback penalties and improved product availability at stores, ensuring the correct sizes, colors, and styles arrive at the point of sale. "This project shows how RAIN RFID technology can transform fashion intralogistics from day one", says Jorge Robledillo, Director of Clustag North America. "Strong collaboration between teams was essential to delivering measurable results in a highly demanding operational environment." According to Tom Seow, VP of Distribution Engineering at Perry Ellis, "the RFID tunnel solutions, integrated with Zentup, allow us to detect errors before they reach the store and give us a clear competitive advantage. We will continue investing in these systems for future projects." Clustag will feature the Perry Ellis solution at MODEX 2026, April 13-16 in Atlanta.
