It is also scalable with the ability to be integrated into a host of third party systems.
It is designed for industries such as food and beverage, manufacturing, warehousing, freight & transport and any company involved in the shipping of products. It also incorporates ASN/SSCC (Advanced Shipping Notification) guidelines which are specified by large retailers in particular to ensure products arrive in the correct quantities at the correct destination.

We are at the forefront of logistics labelling and this accreditation gives us yet another accolade, as we continuously strive to bring our customers leading edge solutions that take cost out of their business. We have been committed to GS1 UK standards for a long time and work closely with them in many areas of our business. "
Chris also paid credit to the team of four that undertook demanding training in order to assist the company in achieving partner status: "I am extremely proud of them, they passed the rigorous exams with flying colours and their knowledge of barcode applications and symbologies built up over the years shone through."
