When making assortment decisions, retailers and wholesalers require that pallets are suitable for smooth handling in the distribution chain. To do this, you need a SSCC, a GS1-128 barcode and a standard format pallet label.
You must notify your trading partner of all deliveries of your products in the manner agreed upon with them. Many stores and wholesalers use electronic EDI messages to receive products and maintain product balances.
When you get your products into the store or wholesaler's assortment, you need to inform your trading partner of all the necessary information. GS1 Synkka makes it efficient and easy to share product information, images and documents.
Before you can deliver – or sometimes even offer – your product to retailers and wholesalers, you need a GS1 product identifier for your product and a barcode on its packaging.
A working barcode is created through the right choices. On this page, you will find seven steps to help you implement a GS1 barcode correctly.
