As most everyone knows, the “RF” in RFID stands for radio frequency, and radio is anything but a new technology. What is new is a dramatically more cost-effective collection of technologies, and nascent standards around EPC (Electronic Product Code).

GXS has developed a cost-effective solution that integrates RFID technology with data synchronization capabilities to enable you to capture and track product data efficiently.

Benefits of GXS RFID and Shipping & Labeling Solutions

For Buyers

• Time Savings and Less Excess Inventory - Barcode and RFID labels expedite the receiving process. UPC and EPC codes scanned at the warehouse door can be correlated with ASN and PO data in the receiving system. This automation eliminates the need to cross check paper shipping manifests with purchase orders and eliminates errors associated with manual re-keying. The net effect across your supply chain is a reduction in inventory carrying costs.
• Visibility - Barcode and RFID labeling provide an enhanced level of visibility over inbound shipments. Scanned bar codes are linked with ASN and PO data in the receiving system—immediately identifying problems such as incomplete shipments, incorrect routing or incorrect contents.
• Customization - GXS' labeling products can be customized based upon your preferences for layout, numbering schemes and required fields. GXS will create labeling software to meet your specific requirements then manage the distribution and implementation with your trading community.

For Suppliers

• Customer Compliance - GXS shipping and labeling products enable you to comply with mandates from your customers. GXS has a suite of trading partner kits, which conform to the specific labeling standards of most major retailers and manufacturers.
• Reduced Typing Errors - GXS products automatically populate the label fields based upon the electronic purchase order. Auto-population eliminates manua re-keying, greatly reducing the opportunity for error.
• Transportation efficiency - Properly addressed labels substantially reduce the likelihood that a shipment will be delayed, misrouted and split apart. These factors enable faster and more accurate transportation processes.
• Customer Relationships - Fewer errors translate into fewer claims, fewer returns and fewer charge-backs. Customer satisfaction will improve. Reduced errors lead to faster invoice generation and payment.
