Work is being undertaken by a standing networking group to promote industry approaches to developing solutions against B2B issues previously highlighted including further opportunities to drive business systems standards in the industry.

The group whose members include retailers, manufacturers/suppliers and GS1Australia meet four times annually against a work plan which includes:

• Developing and supporting implementation of a standardised industry approach to enabling receipt of multiple batch/use-by codes on consolidated pallets of a single SKU. Industry guidelines relating to this project can be accessed by clicking here
• Undertaking a review of opportunities to optimise the use of Operational Logistics components of B2B E-commerce for internal stock transactions, upstream supplier transactions and with small-medium sized trading partners.
• Reviewing the underlying issues behind the poor levels of master data alignment across manufacturers and retailers and drive improvement.
