Companies ultimately bear the responsibility of correctly assigning UPCs and ensuring the current global GS1 standards are followed. Whether you're new to using UPC barcodes or have relied on them for years, are you investing in an effective system to maintain high-quality barcodes and accurate data?
GS1 Barcode Support programs include access to the UPC management portal, GTIN.cloud, and an assigned personal consultant who will review your GTINs and associated product data BEFORE being published. Having a certified consultant assist in managing your GTINs and data, will eliminate inaccuracies and be there to address GS1 standards complexities.
Ever since the first product needed a barcode, our consultants have assisted companies with all aspects of their creation and implementation. As the authority on barcode creation and print quality, we have directly or indirectly touched most suppliers in the major retail stores. GS1 Support Services include ongoing personal support from an assigned expert and product credit for digital barcodes or barcode testing. Access to the global UPC Product Data registry, GTIN.Cloud is included with every support subscription.
Most companies jump right in and start assigning UPCs but are not equipped to address changes and different levels of packaging. Even if someone did go through paid GS1 training, employee turnover is commonplace and GS1 standards continually evolve.
