Hardware Industry – Sector SnapshotThe traditional hardware sector consisted of hardware and materials, this has evolved to include:
Home ImprovementsHome DécorHome LifestyleHome LivingHome Services
Resulting in a retail market in Australia valued at $26.1 billion;$10 billion retail and $16.1 billion trade
Five major entities account for approximately 35% of this market with while 65% in the hands of medium to small retail brands and independent
operators. In excess of 1,500 independent hardware stores.

Hardware Industry – Sector Snapshot
Approximately 200,000 SKUs Australia wide equating to 500,000 plus GTINS, these are across a range of products including; Timber, fastenings, power tools,
electrical, outdoor lifestyle, green life, garden implements and paint.
This gives a diverse range of packaging from seeds to BBQs, wheel barrows to electric drills. Each has it’s own challenge at identifying the
consumer unit, trade unit and non-retail items.

Poor Quality Bar Codes
Poor Print Quality, Incorrect Color, Bar Codes wrapped around corners
© 2008 GS1 189
Have to cut open carton , lift item from carton to scanbarcode on the bottom of packageThis causes staff to assume and take chances = MISTAKES
Outers not Bar Coded
© 2008 GS1 190
Many supplier’s barcodes are disfigured by packaging items
such as tape, strapping etc. This causes staff to have to cut
open cartons or manually key a 14 digit barcode
Defaced Barcodes

Formation of the Hardware GS1 Action Group (HGAG)
• Numbering and Bar Coding guidelines developed and published (2007) however audits conducted early 2009 indicated less than 50% of products bar coded beyond base item (consumer unit)
• Bar code Quality was an issue• eCom message implementation guides developed and
published but slow uptake of messaging beyond PO and Invoice
• Different eCom message requirements from Retailers• Greater need to focus on Global activities• Data issues recognised but no clear path for resolution

F4F and GS1 in New Zealand
New Zealand’s top 5 rural retailers began investigating an industry B2B initiative in early 2009
Primary Goal: Capture the benefits of B2B in the most efficient way possible with lowest cost to industry
F4F and GS1 were selected based on their complimentary capabilities and services• F4F: Agribusiness experience, B2B services & existing
businesses using the system• GS1: N&BC and master data synchronisation
Suppliers involved at the outset to shape and drive the industry initiative
© 2008 GS1 230
The Problem
Commercial interaction between traders and suppliers are:• Manual – resource intensive• Paper based or..• Non-standard• Error prone• COSTLY
© 2008 GS1 231
The Opportunity
• Processes become electronic and automated• Standardised across sector• Alignment to other sectors locally and internationally • Single method of sharing information and electronic documents• Reduce errors• Reduce cost to TRADERS and SUPPLIERS• Provides the foundation for even greater collaboration between
TRADERS and SUPPLIERS
© 2008 GS1 232
The Solution
Three Core Components
1. Globally unique identification of products, companies, and locations.
2. Ongoing synchronisation of standardised item data between suppliers and customers.
3. Automation of order management processes e.g. electronic purchase orders and invoices.

results obtained may alter once the product is in its formed state• Whole cartons can be sent flattened for a complete assessment
(please note that a removed bar coded piece/panel of a carton cannot be assessed as a complete sample)
• Heavy/bulky items should not be submitted. Empty, flat packaging or loose labels must be submitted for testing in this case.
• Download and complete the GS1 Australia bar code verification request form:
http://www.gs1au.org/services/barcode_testing/
• Submit this form with the products to GS1 Australia, Melbourne or Sydney

Bar Code Verification
What is it, and who can use it?
• A assessment of a bar code against GS1 Standards and ISO bar code quality standards
• Products are tested, and a conformance report is generated providing assessment outcomes and recommendations
• The service is available to all companies producing / using GS1 bar code symbols
© 2008 GS1 268
Bar Code Verification
Why use the Service?
Save time, save money• Rectifying ‘poor’ bar codes incurs unnecessary costs
- it is better to “get it right the first time”• Decrease the time it takes to get your product to market
Reassurance – bar codes which scan first time, every time• The verification process assesses the likely scanning
performance of a bar code and how closely it conforms to specifications
• Provides the reassurance that the bar code symbol will scan correctly throughout the supply chain
© 2008 GS1 269
Verification of bar codes
• Verification of bar codes should occur both during symbol creation and after product manufacturing.
• Verifiers are not scanners• A scanner reads the bar code• A verifier assesses quality
• The trained eye can spot many bar code quality issues, but a verifier will assess the finer details.
© 2008 GS1 270
Bar code verification reports
• Assessed as either “Interim” or “Final”
• Indicate compliance with GS1 standards
• Issued by GS1 Australia upon completion of testing
• Provide recommendation for improvement if necessary
• Are valid for 12 months from date of issue
• Help avoid interpretation problems between trading partners
© 2008 GS1 271
• ISO verification looks at the bar code in a similar way to the way a scanner sees it.
• ISO 15416 verification method is fully compatible with the ANSI standards (released by the American National Standards Institute)
• It assesses the quality of the symbol compared to a perfect symbol resulting in a grade between 0 and 4.
• For more detailed information, refer to the technical fact sheets available on our website:
www.gs1au.org/information_library/technical_fact_sheets.asp
Verification against ISO standards
© 2008 GS1 272
Interim verification reports
• Provided for artwork samples (laser prints, bromides, mock-ups, colour proofs...)
• Assess magnification, bar height, quiet zones, validity of the GS1 number and scanning environment
• Do not assess location and ISO parameters
• Are accepted by most major retailers to initiate the buying process• As a general rule there is a 6 week window from the date you submit
the interim report to the retailer until the need to supply them with a full report. It is strongly recommended that the complete, formed items be submitted once printed, to obtain a final report.
© 2008 GS1 273
Interim verification report
© 2008 GS1 274
Final verification reports
• Provide complete assessment of scan rate, traditional parameters and ISO parameters against appropriate scanning environments
• May be required by some retailers
• Major retailers in Australia and New Zealand accept verification reports issued in either country

What is Data Management?
Definitions of Data management on the Web: Data management comprises all the disciplines related to managing
data as a valuable resource.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_management
Controlling, protecting, and facilitating access to data in order to provide information consumers with timely access to the data they need. The functions provided by a database management system.www.information-management.com/glossary/d.html
Definitions of product data management on the Web: Product data management (PDM) is the business function often
within product lifecycle management that is responsible for the creation, management and publication of product data.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_data_management
© 2008 GS1 283
How good is your Data Management and Master Data?
Have you ever thought about how poor master management and data can impact your business?
Poor Master Data has a direct link with the following:• Excessive amounts of claims• Payments held up• Constant queries on customer orders• Product returns• Lost sales• Lack of stock control• Order reconciliation taking too long• Sales staff spending too much time doing paperwork• Master data control is spread around the business

What is Poor Data costing the UK Grocery Sector?
Excerpt from the UK Data Crunch Report Executive Summary:
• We calculate that over the next five years UK retailers and suppliers will experience over £700 million profit erosion and £300 million in lost sales. These are conservative estimates based on the combination of process inefficiencies, duplications and workarounds across the retailer and supplier’s supply chains, together with administrative shrinkage and shelf stockouts that inaccurate data causes.

Supply Chains today
If data and processes are so bad, how is it that we do get products ordered, delivered and then paid?
Well, we throw people at the problem. We put them in accounts payable, receivable, customer service. We create new roles in Sales, Marketing, IT. We reward people for constant fire-fighting, and pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to change and our flexibility.Not only that, we employ people to update and manage your data as well.
