Who We Work With

We work with all members of a supply chain to optimize barcode performance. Once a retailer or organizations needs are assessed, we identify the program components that will improve their receiving, stocking, and point of sale performance.  Working directly with supplier communities, or in a support role to the client company, we ensure requirements are understood and implemented properly.  For ongoing compliance, we work with our clients’ supply chain associates to properly identify issues and then work with suppliers to ensure timely corrections are made and quality control practices are adopted.

For suppliers – Identification Labs confirms you are complying with your trading partner’s requirements and assists in resolving any and all compliance issues.

For retailers and other companies – Identification Labs functions as a qualified resource for your suppliers and provides a variety of professional services and consulting.

In general, we work with any company that needs to introduce, improves, or monitor barcode compliance and print quality.
