"Thanks to DataKart, we are now able to identify GS1 verified EAN codes for products to maintain a clean catalogue. We have saved time on EAN duplicate identification and reduced catalogue errors by 80% by verifying the EAN codes with DataKart before we onboard the products."

"Britannia is currently initiating to use of one of the key features of the GS1 Barcode wherein the manufacturing details like name, address, and FSSAI license numbers will get embedded in the barcode itself. With a nod from FSSAI for such a kind of approach, this results in a dual benefit for both the Marketer and the Consumer. From a consumer perspective, by scanning the barcode through ‘Smart Consumer’ application, all the details of the product can be obtained, including the pack shot. This will enable the consumer to make an informed choice before buying the product."

"We have been working closely with GS1 India to implement QR code on product packaging as per the guidelines issued by the Government in the pesticide sector. The application extended by GS1 India to generate QR codes was easy to implement and simple to use. The team proactively supported us through the entire implementation journey, which enabled us to complete the project on time."

"By using DataKart, we realised the saving of time and cost in managing product master data. The application is very user-friendly and provides accurate and complete visibility to our product catalogue."

"ClickIt app is an excellent solution for capturing product images and linking them directly into the DataKart account. It's very convenient and user-friendly, even my son can use it to capture images smoothly."

"As a manufacturer, we have to upload verified data for our products on GS1 DataKart. It is a very time-consuming task to collect all the data from different stakeholders. To upload to GS1 DataKart, the GS1 team helps us a lot and guides us as we exchange data with the retailer. They have helped us upload more than 180 products on DataKart."

"We have availed of GS1 India's consultancy and DataKart Trace services, which helped to establish visibility across all stakeholders. All products are uniquely identified using a GS1 Data Matrix barcode with a serialised GTIN, which is generated and labelled on the product at the time of manufacturing."

"We have been utilising the GS1 India API traceability services since the commencement of compliance. The user-friendly application interface, designed with utmost simplicity and intuition, has made it remarkably easy to integrate into our operations. DataKart Trace, in its current form, perfectly aligns with our immediate requirements and exhibits the potential for seamless scalability as we broaden our traceability ambitions. The GS1 India implementation team has proven to be an indispensable partner, facilitating our timely adherence to regulatory obligations."

"DataKart is a promising solution to drive efficient master data collaboration. This can be a big enabler towards flawless information flow across vendors and customers."

"DataKart has revolutionised the way we manage product information. With the ability to share accurate, trusted, and updated SKU data with multiple retailers and online marketplaces in real time, we’ve streamlined our processes. Now, we enter product data once and distribute it seamlessly to various buyers. Whether it’s reaching out to Kirana stores through Point of Sale (PoS) applications or receiving instant acknowledgements for product changes and promotions, DataKart ensures efficiency and eliminates dependency on crowd-sourced information."

"DataKart portal provides holistic & new age solutions to brand owners, wherein complete & statutory product information can be captured/stored in a seamless manner. Brought in more transparency to our retail partners/end-consumer while accessing it through Smart Consumer app. Kudos to GS1 backend teams for developing such solutions & providing necessary supported guidance to Brand owners."

"The implementation of pesticide traceability as per the DOA_ Gazette notification, using GS1 Standards, has transformed our supply chain processes. It provided seamless traceability, ensured compliance with regulatory requirements, and improved operational efficiency. The use of GS1 Standards enabled accurate data exchange and enhanced trust among all stakeholders."

"The implementation of Datakart Premium revolutionized our data management processes. By leveraging Master Data Management, QR Codes, and FSSAI exemption capabilities, we achieved enhanced product traceability, streamlined compliance, and efficient data handling. This solution has been instrumental in simplifying our operations and boosting overall productivity."

"Implementing the USAID traceability process, using the GS1 Standard Despatch Advice XML Message, significantly improved our shipment tracking and data exchange capabilities. It streamlined our logistics operations, reduced errors in shipment communication, and ensured real-time visibility for all partners involved in the supply chain."

"We are very happy with the QR code generated from the GS1 India DataKart platform. The platform is easy to use, even for non-technical users. The QR codes are clear and easy to scan, even on small devices. We have found the platform to be very helpful in our business, as it allows us to quickly and easily create and print QR codes for our products and services. We would definitely recommend the DataKart platform to others."

"With DataKart implementation, we aim for seamless exchange of data with several customers at a go and thereby, improving 'Perfect Order' and 'Financial Reconciliation' with reduced order-to-delivery time & reduced returns arising out of incorrect master data."

"Over the years, we have seen the advantages it has given, like accurate & quick master updates/listings with our trading partners. It has also enabled us to be automatically compliant with multiple criteria & norms followed in the FMCG industry. All of this is being done with complete ease due to the user-friendly interface."
