Future-Proof GS1 Scanning: 2D-Ready Today

Capture SKU, lot, and expiry in a single scan with 100% accuracy—so you’re always compliant, always ahead, and backed by a platform ready to adapt as regulations evolve.

Why It Matters: Standards Are Shifting

For food retailers, producers, and marketplaces, compliance isn’t optional—it’s a constant. But today, many operators still rely on manual entry or multi-scan workflows to capture SKU, lot, and expiry data.

That creates serious challenges:

• Risk of non-compliance with global food safety and labeling standards
• Slower receiving and picking due to multi-step scans
• Limited traceability when lot and expiry data aren’t captured consistently
• Higher costs and operational risk during recalls

With GS1’s global move toward 2D barcodes by 2027, staying ahead means adapting now.

Our Approach
