  1. GS1 Logger for Staff – A new service infrastructure for GS1 MOs 21February 2013, Brussels

  2. Once upon a time… • Is this such an easy task? How good are we at fulfilling this role? • ’You know David, GS1 is such a lucky company. It is based on a such a simple business model. You take a PC and allocate unique numbers to other companies which in return pay their annual fees! Wonderful! You only need to make sure that there wont’t be clashes of numbers at the retailers and that’s all. (Tamás Beliczay, Former CEO of VRH, market leading AUTO ID company)

  3. GS1 LoggerforStaffStatistics 1 January 2012– 4 February2013 14%of the scans proved to be invalid!

  4. Why should we be concerned? • Can we make such a statement knowing the figures? • The funding of all MOs to a (very) large extent depends on providing numbers, notably GCPs which for a (often substantial) fee is charged. And we claim that we ensure uniqueness… • What if it became more widely known that we don’t do our best to guarantee unique numbers ? The GS1 System is a set of standards enabling the efficient management of global, multi-industry supply chains by uniquely identifying products, shipping units, assets, locations and services (GUM 1.3)

  5. Whyshouldwe be concerned? • Increasingly the number is regarded as the key to the source of the product. New legislation in the EU (effective from 2014) requires that relevant product data must be available for all on-line available products. • Ourcreditabilitycould be atstake! GS1’s objective to provide a Trusted Source of Data implies that GTINs and allother ID Keys must be unique, as well as the value of the attributes which apply to the product (e.g. allergenic properties)

  6. Whyshouldwe be concerned? • Fromfinancialpoint of viewit’s obvious: themorepayingmemberswehavethebetter and cheaperwecanservethem! • Lostrevenue! • There is atleast10 000 000 EUR lossineveryyearduetothenotclarifiedlegal status of GCPs! • Inadditionthere is a damagetoall of ouruserscausedbythenotproperuseofourstandards(e.g. barcodesymbols)

  7. The history GS1 Logger for StaffThe beginning of a beautifulfriendship…

  8. Project Background Overview • GS1 Logger Staff is a unique solution, combining the elements of GEPIR and MobileCom with the aim to provide an easy-to-use and powerful tool for the purpose of GTIN Intelligence. • GS1 Hungary’s successful pilot phase started in 2009 • GS1 Hungary proposes to extend the pilot to other countries and establish the basis of a globalsystem for MOs to verify GS1 GCPs • Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bTT2Pxcxj8

  9. What is the aim of the initiative? • GS1 Logger Staff is a solution, combining the elements of GEPIR to support the Mos in their daily work and efforts in the field of GTIN intelligence. • The goals are: • To provide an easy-to-use and powerful mobile tool for GS1 Member Organizations to validate GS1 GCPs and perform basic GS1 BarCode Quality checking • To create a comprehensive and commonly agreed reporting system to monitor the follow up of invalid GTINs

  10. Otherresults of the GS1 in EU project A not expected side-effect of the project was to the call the attention of the weak operation of the Gepir Network. This issue was addressed on a sufficient level and hopefully will be resolved by the Global Office. Upon request a process was developed in order to monitor how MOs actually follow up the invalid numbers identified by the application (See appendix!)

  11. Facts and figures Since the kick off of the project, 1 January 2012 Number of MOs registered: 56 Number of colleagues using the application: more than 290 Number of scans: more than 34 000 Number of invalid numbers caught by the app: more than 4 900 Number of faulted scans: more than 2 200 (due to Gepir error)

  12. Wherearewenow?The introduction of GS1 LoggerforStaff 2.1

  13. GS1 Logger forStaff version 2.1 It can verify all ID Keys in simple or complex symbol It scans EAN-8, EAN-13, UPCA, UPCE, GS1-128, GS1 QR Code, GS1 DataMatrix, GS1 DataBar Omnidirectionaland ITF-14 The identification of competent MO and reporting works automatically on the basis of the GS1prefix and the Root XML of GEPIR. With the ‘History’ we can list the previous validations. Users may expand the list with 4 new pages (a maximum of 100 records).

  14. GS1 Logger forStaff version 2.1 Besides GEPIR checking, theAppverifythesymbolitselfand thecontentdataaccordingtotheGenSpecv13 Allcomplex ID Keys aredecoded, and checkedbytherules of mandatory, exclude and relationpairs. Furthermore, each element is verified by the standards of the corresponding AI. Symboland datacontentarecheckedby GS1 standards

  22. Serving GS1 MOs and GS1 standards • Provide a specialtooltovalidate the legal background of the GCP! (legal aspect) • Provide a tool for MOs to check whether a barcode and itscontentdataare in alignment with Gen Spec and all the other GS1 Standards (qualityaspect)- Whatdowemeanbythat? The whole infrastructure has two main purposes:

  23. Barcode and contentdataverificatione.g. 1/1 Figure 5.7.3.2 - 3 Segmented GS1 DataMatrix Symbols: Square and Rectangular Formats LVS-Integra 9505 LoggerforStaff 2.0

  24. Barcode and contentdataverificatione.g. 1/2 Figure 5.7.3.2 - 3 Segmented GS1 DataMatrix Symbols: Square and Rectangular Formats LVS-Integra 9505 LoggerforStaff 2.0

  25. Barcode and contentdataqualificatione.g. 2 Figure A1.2 - 2 Data Encoded in one Concatenated GS1-128 symbol Price per unit of measure 365 Batch number 123456 LoggerforStaff 2.0 LVS-Integra 9505 No checkingbytherules of mandatory, exclude and relationpairs No checkingbytherules of mandatory, exclude and relationpairs

  26. Common process to follow up – We have homework to do • In order to ensure the core value of the GS1 system MOs need to do their best to use the report sent by Logger for Staff app and follow up on the invalid numbers! • Common process to use GS1 Logger for Staff and to follow up on invalid/unauthorized GS1 GCPs • The paperdefines questions focusing on the following three main aspects: • Actions taken by the MO after receiving ‘Report’ from Logger for Staff app • Reason of invalidity • Latest status of the GCP

  27. Follow up surveys • Sent to47 MOs • 22respondedand22 MOs followed up the reports received from Logger for Staff • So far 151 companies renewed its membership with GS1 • Additionally the status of 367 companies were clarifiedwhich contributed to improve the data quality in the local membership data bases and of course indirectly the quality of Gepir.

  28. Serving the GS1 MOs ’Appearance of Logger for Staff was a nice surprise for me as I felt a need for something like this since I was busy with Barcode Intelligence projects.’ Janis Lublinskis, GS1 Latvia ’Logger for Staff  Application is very useful for us. It helps us to bring our members back and to collect the annual fees.’ Galina Birsanu, GS1 Moldova

  29. Serving the GS1 MOs ’ Logger is from my perspective useful tool for all GS1 MOs and all companies using GS1 Systembecause it helps to reveal both intentitonal and unintentional usage of GTINs which could causemany errors through whole supply chain and affect final consumer. .’ Cerny Karel, GS1 Czech Republic ’The Logger for Staff application is working very well and also the Logger for Staff website. It offers a lot of possibilities which are very important for our MO..’ AdiTurkovic, GS1 Bosnia & Herzegovina

  30. Benefits and take aways The Logger for Staff infrastructure is serving the need of all MOs It is an ideal infrastructure to support GTIN Intelligence It is a new, innovative tool for MOs for barcode verification from quality point of view The infrastructure heavily relies on already existing services run by GS1 GO (Gepir, Gen Spec, other standards, etc.) Cleary an initiative that even the smaller MOs consider as a useful service helping their daily job

  31. Benefits and take aways It could be an ideal tool for training and education purposes It could be a potential service that GS1 MOs could give to their members to check barcodes from validity as well as from quality point of view The infrastructure is there, the application is there, the know-how is there …and are you ready to join?

  32. Let’s play with the numbers… On global level with Logger for Staff and strong national activity to follow up invalid GCPs (which should be part of the core services of GS1 MO) if we managed to decrease the 5% of invalid GCPs to 4% that would increase the total revenue of MOs with at least 2 000 000EUR/year
