Facundo Blanco provides the distributor with traceability
01/11/06

Traceability is a legal requirement that any distribution centre must satisfy, and Facundo Blanco, a snacks and nuts & dried fruit company, provides all its products with an EAN-128 label, making this traceability possible.
The investment made to implement the traceability system amounts to approximately 125,000 euros.
Both internal traceability as well as shipping and packing list traceability are possible with this system.  Finally, it makes it possible for the distribution centre to be able to bill the Point of Sales, using barcode readers.
As Vicente Villagrá, chief executive of Facundo Blanco, states, “this system will help improve our customers’ warehouse management and, therefore, we expect a good reception by the various distribution channels or points of sale”.
The barcode content is based on the EAN-128, and when read it would provide information about the DUN14 or EAN13 and the Product Lot.
