Symbology, Inc. Provides New GS1 DataBar™ Coupon Codes PLUS Coupon Validator™ Service

On January 1, 2008, a new coupon bar code will be implemented affecting manufacturers, retailers and processors. Producing an accurate GS1 DataBar™ Coupon Code file requires advanced technology and expertise. Symbology's custom-engineered system produces and delivers error-free files quickly and efficiently. Additionally, the increased complexity of the new codes makes it imperative for users to check the data and quality of the codes. Symbology's new online Coupon Validator™ service provides the simplest, most accurate decoding and verification service available.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) November 16, 2007 -- On January 1, 2008, a new coupon bar code will be implemented affecting manufacturers, retailers and processors. Initially, an "Interim" code will be used that includes a GS1 DataBar™ code and a GTIN 12 (UPC-A) code. In 2010 the GS1 DataBar™ coupon code will stand alone.

This new code structure is the most complex of any code introduced by GS1. Its huge data capacity allows users greater flexibility for cross marketing of products via joint offers, enhanced tracking, and fraud prevention.

Producing an accurate GS1 DataBar™ Coupon Code file, however, requires advanced technology and expertise. Symbology's custom-engineered system produces and delivers error-free files quickly and efficiently. Full Service orders feature:

 
  • 30 minute turn time….including accuracy-check by two customer service experts
  • Manufacturing process eliminates the need for users to define VLI's
  • Codes are bottom-justified; allowing maximum space for the balance of coupon text
  • A single electronic file contains both GS1 DataBar™ and GTIN 12 codes, thus reducing chances of data non-conformance between code segments
Note: A lightning fast online code ordering service alternative will also be available soon.

Once codes are sent into print/production, the increased complexity of the new coupon codes….along with a "human-readable" that does not include all data…..makes it imperative for users to have a means of checking the data and quality of the DataBar coupon codes.

Symbology's new Coupon Validator™ service provides the simplest, most accurate decoding and verification service available. Users can avoid costly errors by validating their code information online. Data from the code is automatically transmitted via the internet to the Validator web site, where it is instantly decoded.

There are two levels of Coupon Validator™ service: Decoding only and Decoding/Verification (grading) of codes. The exclusive Coupon Validator™:

 
  • Includes Unlimited Validations via subscription service
  • Extends Easy Access. Users simply scan their DataBar code into our Coupon Validator™ web site
  • Provides full decode detail including both Visible and Covert data
  • Details Descriptions: Product - up to three Family Codes and Geographic Market Area (Symbology codes)
  • Offers a variety of imaging and verifier equipment
  • Individual code validation is also available
