In case you were off on holiday last week, like me (Yosemite), you might have missed the latest edition of Cocktails & Commerce. Besides a great cocktail idea for this hot weather we are having, we explore the state of the commerce system integrators and consultancies market. It's a topic that Brian and I have been discussing for quite awhile in light of the accelerated pace of the commerce market maturity around "composability" (Link in the comments!) The response and engagement has been terrific including some great takeaways on our perspective especially around the opportunity for small consultancies to differentiate and compete. Curious to hear what others think as it is such a great topic. (Link in the comments!)

What an insightful session at the CHFA Conference last week in Toronto! We were fortunate to have our colleague, Nicole Golestani, Director of Global Standards, give a talk on the transition from linear to 2D barcodes on food product labels. Here are some key themes from her presentation: 🔑 GS1 Standards: How #GS1 standards enhance the efficiency, safety, security, sustainability and visibility of supply chains across both physical and digital channels. 📦 Core Principles: The three core principles of GS1 standards are: Identify: Utilizing GS1 Identification Keys to uniquely identify products, places and things. Capture: Implementing GS1 Data Carriers to encapsulate identity and additional data within a barcode. Share: Enabling GS1 Data Exchange to facilitate seamless data sharing with trading partners, consumers and patients. 📊 Benefits of 2D Barcodes: Emphasizing the advantages of transitioning to 2D barcodes: Compact Design: Smaller than traditional linear barcodes. Data-Rich: Capable of carrying more information. Error-Correction: More reliable due to enhanced error-correction capabilities. Image-Based Scanning: Requires an image-based scanner for reading, which improves accuracy. Thank you, Nicole Golestani, for your valuable insights and thanks Canadian Health Food Association for having us. Let's continue to embrace innovation in our industry! #CHFAConference #GS1Standards #2DBarcodes #SupplyChainExcellence
