GS1 Professional Services will assist you to identify opportunities for improvement through the introduction of numbering, barcoding and scanning, RFID tagging and reading and electronic messaging. The GS1 Health Check can also assist companies wanting to meet a trading partner compliance requirement, as well as those looking to improve existing business practices through automation. The outcome of the GS1 Health Check is a range of specific recommendations and a roadmap to implement the GS1 standards, specifically designed to meet the organisation’s objectives.
GS1 Supply Chain Review™

During the Analysis and Recommendations phase, a GS1 Professional Services Senior Advisor reviews in detail your company’s business processes to identify opportunities for automation through the use of GS1 standards. Detailed process flow diagrams are prepared showing the recommended points of data capture or eMessaging and the data capture requirements at each point. IT infrastructure is analysed to determine the technology gap based on the recommendations made and a project progression roadmap is prepared and presented.
