50 years after the barcode first beeped its way into history,
it’s now time to welcome the next generation.
By 2027, Next Gen Barcodes will transform retail operations,
beeping at POS everywhere around the globe.
'The way we live and work has now changed, possibly forever. These once-simmering changes are now driving a digital revolution. To compete in the 'New Reality' accelerating the adoption of new technologies is a must to keep pace with existing and emerging competitors.' - KPMG
Watch Next Gen Barcodes in Action!
WHY THE CHANGE?
Next Gen Barcodes are dynamic and more powerful, unlike current barcodes that are static and limited in functionality.
By implementing Next Gen Barcodes, all stakeholders have instant access to real-time data from all stages of the value chain, including POS.
The data-driven approach provides retailers with digital transformation advantages.
As a neutral standards body, GS1 Australia is supporting retailers in the journey to Next Gen Barcodes at POS, offering guidance for a smooth and voluntary transition, while minimising disruption to existing business processes.
