Karl's Bakery rolls out GS1 System for success
When it comes to croissants and ciabatta, Karl Raberger and his dedicated team at Queensland’s Karl’s Good Stuff are the experts. But when the baker faced an eight day deadline to ready itself for electronic trade, Karl's called in expert help from GS1 Australia's EANnet specialists.
The bakery was working to a tight deadline and needed to be EANnet Ready™ within just eight days. With the help of GS1 Australia Professional Services, there was minimal interruption to the bakery’s staff and management’s daily business processes. “Our advisor gave us a list of tasks prior to coming out and we liaised in preparation prior to that visit, this preparation meant bakery staff members were well prepared before beginning the project, maximising use of the advisor’s time and speeding progress.
Working with the Advisor, the team at Karl’s Good Stuff contributed about two days in total to the project. Also, while Professional Services had allocated eight days to the project, the actual time they spent on it amounted to just three days, significantly reducing the cost to the bakery. “I would advise anyone needing to set up their system to ask for a quote from GS1 Australia before trying to set this up alone or with an outside contractor. It is well worth the money spent,” he said.
