The implementation of next generation barcodes is in full swing. For many companies, this raises questions about how standards and technical solutions are actually used in practice. To make it easier to understand, we are now launching GS1 Store – an interactive tool where you can explore how QR codeswith GS1 standardsare used in commerce, pharmacy and healthcare.
The GS1 Store is a virtual store or hospital environment where you can walk step-by-step through different departments, such as grocery, pharmacy, e-commerce and self-scanning. Each environment shows concrete examples of how 2D codes with GS1 standards (QR and GS1 DataMatrix) can be used – from logistics and planning to checkout and consumer information.
From inspiration to real use cases
The tool is designed to provide a clear and accessible picture of what the implementation of 2D barcodes means in practice. Among other things, you can:
- watch short, educational animations showing how QR codes with GS1 standards work and the value they create in different situations.
- learn concrete use cases that will help you understand the possibilities, whether you are just starting out or are already well on your way in your 2D journey.
- be inspired by new ways of working and solutions linked to QR codes with GS1 standards, for example for better product information, more efficient processes and enhanced consumer experience.
A support in the implementation of 2D barcodes
With increasing requirements and regulations around traceability, information sharing and sustainability, 2D barcodes are becoming a key enabler. GS1 Store helps you see how standardized QR codes can be used in real-world environments, creating entirely new consumer experiences and enabling more future-proof commerce.
