We were honored to host DANONE SOUTHERN AFRICA at our Africa Master Data Services Lab, where we discussed the Global Data Model and Package Measurement Rules—key tools for ensuring accurate, consistent data across borders. Our collaboration focused on Ambition 2027, the transition from 1D to 2D barcodes, a game-changer for supply chains. By embedding richer data directly into packaging, #2D barcodes enable smarter, more efficient, and sustainable operations while enhancing transparency and trust across the supply chain. Together, we’re paving the way for a better-#connected, data-driven future! 👉 Learn more about 2D barcodes and how they’re transforming supply chains here:https://lnkd.in/dfBM_sAY #DataStandards #Ambition2027 #GS1SouthAfrica

We had the privilege of leading a focused training session with Procter & Gamble South Africa, diving into the critical #GTIN Management Rules. These rules are essential for fostering #trust, ensuring data #accuracy, and enabling smooth trading partnerships. Why does this matter? GTINs (Global Trade Item Numbers) go beyond barcodes—they are key to: Helping #shoppers find the right products both in-store and online. Preventing costly #inventory and logistics errors. Unlocking innovations like 2D barcodes and digital links for richer, more accurate product #data. Procter & Gamble dedication to mastering GTIN management showcases their leadership in precision, collaboration, and delivering value to partners and consumers alike. Curious how GTIN rules can elevate your operations? Let’s connect to build smarter, more connected supply chains. https://lnkd.in/d675HWJU #GTINManagement #SupplyChainExcellence
