GS1net Implementation








More Customer Service people were employed
to fix orders.
Order dates were missed.
Wrong deliveries – wrong product –wrong
pack size.
Heightened tensions between trading partners.
Claims , claims and more claims.
Resources wasted in all the above.
We did not know how good our data was - or
not !!!





Forced to verify data in back office systems –
How bad was that !!! – six months to clean up
First GS1net customer – painful to get on board
–the amount of work to get it right !!!
Live with first GS1net customer – all
subsequent customers – a breeze.
GS1net ready with Officeworks. 20 Minutes
Data align with customer - a must (now we are
speaking the same language)




Energizer uses fully automated systems – good
orders produce a pick in remote warehouse –
3 mins from order receipt – faster order to pick.
Reduced resources dealing with claims, less
Customer Service fixing orders.
Warehouse has longer lead time to pick and
deliver – no last minute panics.
Officeworks love us even more !!!






We thought our data was so good – it was not.
We thought that Officeworks had the same
data as us- they did not.
Data alignment through GS1net is a must.
Publish once share with all.
Forces internal processes to ensure clean –
correct data.
Once the pain has gone more gain.
