The app has three powerful features—Survey, Check and Digital Link.
Using the survey feature, you can assess your organisation’s possible use of GS1 barcodes—what percentage of your or your suppliers’ products have GS1 barcodes, non-GS1 standard barcodes and or no barcodes.
With the check feature, you can determine if products barcodes are correctly encoded so that, when scanned, users can access accurate product identification data, including the Global Trade Item Number and more.
In Digital Link mode you can scan a GS1 barcode and access one or more pieces of digital information about that item. (The user connects, via a Digital Link resolver, to the target digital content.)

Nilson Gonçalves, Malta Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein São Paulo, Brazil:
“The app makes it much easier to do a quick check of the usage of barcodes and helps us better understand the growth of barcodes in a specific hospital.”

Quentin Dittman, Director of Operations Technology, Cardinal Health:
“After last year’s [barcode] assessment, we really dug into the data. We started talking with our suppliers, reaching out to understand any issues. This understanding was really crucial for us in order to push for the highest level of compliance. Bad barcodes mean bad problems for the supply chain.”
