GS1 Fundamentals Workshop for Retail on 17 August 2017



Fundamentals of Product Barcode & Going Beyond for The Retail and 
eCommerce Economy

Usually a scan at the retailer is 99% successful. However, even a 1% failure scan can cause unnecessary costs, time, wastage, and negative impact to your retailer’s reputation and you as the brand owner.

Imagine this, your product number is not found in the point-of-sales system at your retailer’s store.  Chances are that you have not assigned the correct barcode symbol on your product.  That’s the importance of getting it right the first time and not facing the potential risks of the need to re-label all your products.

And do you know that you can harness the power of the simple barcode into something even bigger. You can use the GS1 standards for online search as structured data and create shipping labels when you want to export to almost anywhere in the world.  This is especially useful when you are selling on overseas eCommerce platforms!

Join us now and learn how to apply the building blocks of the GS1 Numbering System and find out how to boost your retail business!
