Barcodes are used to encode information such as key identifiers (product, shipment, location, etc) and key attributes (serial numbers, dates, batch lot numbers, etc) with GS1 symbols & standards that have been revolutionised across the globe for over 50 years.
They play a key role in supply chains, enabling parties like manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, retailers & hospitals to automatically identify & track products as they go from source to sale within SA and around the world.
GS1 utilises several types of barcodes to satisfy different business requirements.
