With the GS1-128 Barcode System, companies can offer the consumer's knowledge of the products they produce from the first stop to the last moment. GS1 Turkey authorities urged all companies to use this application to reassure consumers. The first application came from Metro Turkey. The company started to implement this system and presented the story of the meat to the end consumer with details of its arrival at the table. GS1 Turkey said in a statement that this application will increase transparency for companies emphasizing that it should be evaluated for all productions.
The use of GS1 standards allows operational costs to
be reduced, sales-order-shipment-inventory activities to be carried out as soon
as possible and with minimal errors; the benefits it provides in traceability
also make it easier for the end user to access accurate and reliable
information about the product they consume.
