It leads to improved control procedures in warehousing and distribution. It is also important to ensure the safeguard of company’s assets and customers’ products. The tracking of fixed assets also becomes seamless and represents a worthwhile investment for companies.

Panagora has been working with GS1 for over twenty years now, beginning with our range of meat products. As the leading food distributor in Mauritius, product traceability is a key success factor for our business and we value the added support that GS1 Mauritius gives us in that respect.

In February 2018, we were contacted to upload our product data in the GS1 cloud. The project provided us an opportunity to review our traceability system and ensure it was according to international standards. It was also a means to give greater visibility to our products on both the local and international markets. Finally, as partners, this would grant us the opportunity to connect with the supplier database as well. Panagora was among the first companies in the food sector to join the GS1 cloud and has since benefitted in various ways, such as the sharing of master data, transaction data and traceability across our supply chain.

We would highly encourage other local manufacturers to join GS1.

GS1 Barcodes and standards have allowed us export more easily to other countries due to its individuality, making it easier for us to trade. Without the GS1 barcodes, we cannot go international.

GS1 Standards have helped Udis on various fronts.

Safety - barcodes identify products uniquely leading to fewer counterfeited products on our shelves.

Effectiveness - Barcode enables automatic identification therefore eliminating the possibility of human error through manual entry.

Efficiency - A barcode scan is fast and reliable, saving time from receiving the products (loading bay) until checkout, enables warehouse operations and inventory management, and lowers administrative processes.

Better data quality - since one barcode can be used for inventory and related pricing information. Barcodes can also be customized to contain other relevant information. They provide fast, reliable data for a wide variety of applications.
