Barcoding in the Retail Industry
Barcodes have transformed the retail landscape in more ways than we can imagine. Products and their attributes are the backbone of the Retail industry with respect to stock control and sale tracking. Barcoding helps distinguish products and securely store the product information using Barcodes. Barcodes are a massive revolution across the retail industry and have contributed to a huge number of productive hours saved with respect to product sorting, categorisation, identification, tracking and pricing among others.
How are Barcodes used in the Retail Industry?
01
Consider a retail shop selling shoes - in this case, each product and the product packaging will also come with a different barcode.
02
This is necessary to distinguish the product categories, in addition to specifying each product model, make and price using a barcode label.
03
The barcode label on the product packaging indicates the stock from the warehouse; whereas, the barcode on the product indicates the price and a unique SKU Number.
04
Additionally, employee identification and staff management across the retail sector have utilised barcodes to improve efficiency and adherence to corporate policies.
