DataBar - Irish Success Story

Training Services

GS1 Ireland, with over 30 years experience of working with companies to improve the way they operate through the implementation of standards, to reduce costs and drive efficiency, GS1 is your ideal training partner for best practices in supply chain management.

Many companies become members of GS1, get their barcode licence and get on with running their businesses. However, as time goes by, they notice issues within their own processes or customers often inform them about wrong barcodes on products or problems scanning. More technologically advanced companies experience issues with their electronic business messaging among trading partners.

We have heard these scenarios many times from members who phone our helpdesk daily.

Common questions answered daily:

· How do we issue new bar code numbers?

· The staff member in charge of bar codes has left without telling anyone what they did or where they kept the records of allocated bar codes - what do I do?

· What’s our next bar code?

· How do we calculate the check digit?

· My bar code isn’t being accepted by retailers - what's wrong?

· How do I allocate an outer bar code?

· I don’t understand the EDI process?

· Can our bar codes be read in the UK and the US?

There is a simple solution – become familiar with the GS1 system which is used by all retailers.

GS1’s training courses will help you learn how to use the GS1 system effectively. Our classroom training offers you the opportunity to learn from expert instructors, so when it comes to implementing the GS1 Standards across your supply chain, you will know you are doing it right.
