Benefits of National Product Catalogue

Measurement comparison service
When using both the NPC and GS1 Australia's Barcode Check service, we compare the weights and measurements of your consumer product from the sample we barcode test to the record in the NPC. Where your data is incorrect, we will alert you to ensure your product master data is corrected. This is a free value added data quality check for all NPC / Barcode Check customers.

Australian Tax Office (ATO) - GST review service
For all food and non-alcoholic beverages submitted to the NPC, we will work with the ATO to review your submitted GST rate. This provides suppliers and recipients with certainty around the GST rates. This free value added service is available to suppliers when using the NPC. 

Greater data accuracy and visibility
Less manual correspondence with customers, and less manual updating of data means more accurate orders, shipments and deliveries. With access to more accurate information, you can also make faster and more informed decisions.

Reduced administration
By having a single source of product data, you can avoid multiple data entry and updates, and work more efficiently. 

Improved stock levels
Through having greater insight into your supply chain, you can avoid problems with stock volumes and supply.

Better trading relationships
Improve on-shelf availability and give your customers access to the details they need, when they need them. 

Speed to market
Suppliers increase speed to market for new products.

Safer and more accurate supply
Accuracy of product information is vital in ensuring a reliable and secure supply chain. National Product Catalogue helps ensure a reduction in misidentification of products where the data is used within business and clinical systems. It also provides a foundation for rapid product recalls and precise product tracking.

Reduced costs
By having a single source of master data users benefit from a reduction in order and invoice error rates, invoice claims, and out-of-stock situations in their supply chains.

Improved stock control
Ensures more efficient identification and management of inventory. Use of interoperable data can also ensure improved product traceability, visibility, reporting and reach across industry.
