Machine-readable data has come a long way since the first barcode was used to pass a pack of Wrigley’s through the till in Troy, Ohio, back in 1974. Thanks to the pace of IT evolution, there are unprecedented amounts of data available to us today. But while the potential is amazing, the logistics can seem daunting.
Who can you trust to advise on what information you actually need to capture, as opposed to what data is available? You don’t want to under—or over—spec. Both can easily happen.
You need to be sure all outlay for scanning equipment pays back in measurable upsides—and that you’re as future-proof as possible.
