Right Product, Right Place, Right Time
Enabling Source-to-Store Visibility with the GS1 US Apparel and General Merchandise Initiative
In today's omni-channel retail world, consumers are in control. They expect accurate, immediate product information and access to them. Quite simply: they will move on if they can't find the products they want when they want them. The apparel and general merchandise industries are most concerned with improving inventory accuracy and speed-to-market capabilities to satisfy consumer demands, while still addressing expectations around product safety.
The Apparel and General Merchandise Initiative works to make it possible for companies to follow their products from the source to the store — ensuring that the right product is in the right place at the right time for today’s consumer. These industries have actively supported the importance of GS1 Standards for years, and that involvement continues to this day. What began decades ago with the U.P.C. barcode has evolved to include the adoption and use of Electronic Product Code (EPC)-enabled radio frequency identification (RFID). Retailers are gaining visibility into their supply chain like never before, increasing sales and reducing labor hours and overall costs.
