Electronic Product Code Information Services
METRO GROUP uses the IBM EPCIS (Electronic Product Code Information Services) software to track merchandise along the complete supply chain. This software serves as a repository for capturing and managing data on inventory levels and expiration dates as well as further key information in the ‘Meistermetzgerei’ butchery at the real,- Future Store in Toenisvorst, North Rhine-Westphalia. In addition, the retail company uses the IBM InfoSphere Traceability Server to allow suppliers to better follow-up on items targeted for special promotions. This IBM software is fully compliant with GS1 EPCglobal’s EPCIS standard for sharing RFID information among traders.
