Building GS1 and Composite Barcodes from ERP and Third-Party Data

Warehouse and product labels often need a barcode that combines several values rather than printing one field directly from the ERP. The format must remain accurate and scannable across products, sites and customers.

The Challenge: Complex Barcodes Are Difficult to Maintain Manually

Staff may concatenate values outside the label process or maintain separate designs for each variation. This increases the risk of incorrect data order, missing fields and inconsistent barcode standards.

The Lasernet Approach: Rule-Based Barcode Composition

Lasernet can concatenate data into a single barcode, combine several pieces of information on one label and generate GS1 barcodes using ERP and third-party data. Central templates keep the barcode logic and layout under control.

Why It Matters

The benefits are clear:

• Accuracy: barcode values are assembled from governed rules and source data
• Standards: GS1 and composite barcode requirements can be handled in the label template
• Reuse: one controlled design can support repeated product and inventory scenarios
  
  

Make Barcode Logic Part of the Document Workflow

By generating the barcode from the same data and rules as the label, Lasernet reduces separate coding and helps warehouse teams scan with confidence.
