Sunrise 2027

The barcode is changing. Your competitors already know.

By 2027, 2D barcodes will replace the UPC at retail point-of-sale globally. Brands that start now will have their data, QR codes, and compliance in place. Those that wait will be scrambling.

2D codes are becoming a requirement

GS1 Digital Link will be the global standard for point-of-sale scanning. Retailers are already testing.

Compliance is getting harder

Digital Product Passports, FSMA 204, and sustainability regulations require data that old barcodes can't carry.

Static packaging is a dead end

Digital Link opens a direct channel to every customer who picks up your product. Your competitors are building that channel now.

What you get

Scan-ready product pages

Every product gets a GS1 Digital Link URI that resolves to a hosted, SEO-optimized product page. Put the QR code on your packaging and it works immediately.

Automated recall monitoring

FDA, FSIS, CPSC, and Health Canada recalls matched to your catalog in real time. Know about recalls before your retailers do.

Usage-based pricing

Pay per product, not per seat. Start free with 10 products, scale as you grow. No enterprise contract, no minimum commitment.
