Challenges Retailers Face

Supplier GS1 compliance gaps

Retailers need suppliers to provide 2D barcodes by Sunrise 2027, but have no way to verify compliance across their supplier base.

Product data inconsistency

Data from suppliers arrives in different formats with missing fields, making it difficult to maintain accurate product catalogs.

Traceability for food safety

FSMA 204 requires retailers to trace foods on the Food Traceability List within seconds, not days.

Consumer trust and transparency

Shoppers increasingly expect to scan a product and see origin, ingredients, and allergens — and retailers bear the reputational risk when that data is missing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Closient's GS1 Digital Link resolver lets you verify that every supplier's 2D barcode resolves correctly before products reach your shelves. You can track which suppliers have migrated to 2D barcodes, identify compliance gaps, and share readiness reports — all without requiring suppliers to use Closient themselves.

No. GS1 Digital Link 2D barcodes are designed to be backward-compatible. Existing POS scanners can read the GTIN from a 2D barcode just like they read traditional barcodes. Closient works alongside your current systems — it enriches what happens when a consumer scans the code with their phone, not when your cashier scans it at checkout.

Closient captures EPCIS 2.0 events at each point in the supply chain — receiving, transforming, shipping. When an FDA trace request comes in, you can query the full history of any product by lot or serial number and produce the required Key Data Elements within seconds, not the 24 hours the regulation allows.

Closient offers a free tier that includes up to 10 products, 100 batches, and 1,000 serial numbers. Scans and recall lookups are always free on every tier. See our pricing page for full details — every price is published, no sales calls required.
