What it does
What large buyers ask for. Checked by the system, not by memory.
SSCC pallet labels
SSCC numbers allocated under each legal entity's GS1 company prefix.
Retailer profiles
Each retailer's date coding, shelf life on arrival and pallet rules, each set to block or warn.
Date and lot coding
A default code for the business, overridden per customer: best before, use by, packed on or sell by.
The despatch gate
Stops held or recalled stock and failed blocking rules. A failed rule passes only with a signed exception.
Honest about the rest
Rules the system can't check, such as delivery windows, are shown to the operator as requirements.
Where it sits
Retail compliance reads from the warehouse. Delivery can't leave without it.

Questions
GS1 and retail compliance, answered.
Do you support EDI and advance ship notices?
Not yet. EDI with retail chains (850 in; 855, 856 and 810 out) is on the roadmap and will use these labels and the despatch gate.
Do we need our own GS1 company prefix?
Yes. SSCC numbers are allocated under your prefix, per legal entity.
Which barcode types are printed?
GS1-128 on case and pallet labels. If a retailer asks for another symbology, it's listed as a requirement for the operator.
