SimplyRFID WAVE review
A focused RFID inventory system with handheld scanning, location tools, and transparent entry pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SimplyRFID WAVE is an RFID inventory application for retailers and asset-intensive organizations that need to commission tags, scan items, synchronize inventory, and track movement across stores or locations. The system pairs an iOS app with the vendor’s Pogi cloud server and supports handheld RFID readers. Its feature set also covers user groups, locations, access controls, custom product fields, item pictures, reports, dashboards, exports, ERP reconciliation, indoor Marker-tag location, and proximity-based item finding. It is suited to teams moving beyond manual inventory counts, particularly small retail operations that want a defined entry plan and time to evaluate the workflow.
Pricing is structured around two published options. The RFID Starter Kit is listed at $299 per month and includes the Wave App, Pogi cloud server, a CSL CS108 RFID handheld, support and service, and 100 complimentary RFID tags. The vendor’s starter-kit page also lists a six-month minimum. A separate Wave system upfront option is priced at $2,990 one time and is described as purchasing the system upfront. The vendor describes the first 30 days as risk-free and says the first month is credited if the subscription is canceled. This gives smaller teams a clear trial path while retaining an upfront purchase route.
Operationally, WAVE’s strongest fit is a focused RFID program that needs scanning, tag commissioning, synchronization, historical movement views, reporting, reconciliation, and locating in one system. Integrations are listed for ERP systems and Shopify, while platform coverage is web and iOS. That makes the product relevant for retail environments already working with those systems, but teams needing a broader integration ecosystem or wider device coverage may prefer an alternative. Choose WAVE for practical inventory and asset tracking with location features; look elsewhere if extensive platform breadth is the primary requirement.
