GS1 Retail
GS1 has a long history in retail and the ubiquitous beep of the GS1 barcode is heard at store checkouts 5 billion times a day. Today, there are many paths to purchase, but consumers are demanding one, seamless retail channel – the one that brings their product home. They are creating “personal supply chains” for food, clothing, electronics and more – and GS1 standards can help.
The retail industry is quickly responding to the changing habits of consumers, who switch seamlessly between in-store and e-commerce channels while expecting a consistent shopping experience. GS1 standards are helping the retail sector integrate store operations, delivery and inventory management to meet the challenges of the new omni-channel marketplace and satisfy the expectations of consumers before, during and after their purchase.
GS1 Healthcare
GS1 Healthcare envisions a future where the healthcare sector integrates GS1 standards into supply chain processes for all relevant items, locations and people to drive patient safety and supply chain efficiency improvements. The Global Healthcare User Group brings together all related healthcare stakeholders, to lead the successful development and implementation of global standards in healthcare.
Our healthcare user groups are open to pharmaceutical and medical devices manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors, group purchasing organisations, hospitals, pharmacies, logistics providers, governmental and regulatory bodies, and trade associations.
GS1 Transport & Logistics
GS1 has standardized 5 business processes in the trnasport and logistics sector’s delivery management, transport management, warehouse management, asset management and border procedure management whose efficiency, speed and accuracy are increased by the use of our standards.
As a manufacturer, retailer or logistics service provider, you need to know exactly where your shipments of goods are at any time, where they have come from, and when and where they are due to arrive. The use of GS1 standards gives you accurate up-to-date information about all these matters so that you can make good decisions for your business.
GS1 Food Service
GS1 standards help operators, wholesalers, distributors and suppliers provide better customer service. The foodservice industry has seen enormous growth in recent years. At the same time there are major changes in customer behaviour and needs. This is creating new challenges – and opportunities – for foodservice operators and wholesalers.
Customers want more and more information about the food they eat – such as nutritional information or the source of ingredients, the growing range of outlets and menu choices are putting increasing pressures on supply chains, which in many cases are based on old manual systems and processes – causing inefficiencies, poor customer service and lost sales
