For retail businesses managing imports, inventory movements, and supplier networks, freight can quickly become a source of operational complexity. Delayed updates, fragmented documentation, and repeated communication between teams can affect planning, stock availability, and day-to-day decision-making.

Key solution areas include:

  • RFID and smart tagging solutions for improved inventory accuracy 
  • Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) systems for retail loss prevention 
  • Advanced security technologies to support safer store environments 
  • Inventory visibility and tracking solutions to enable smarter operations 

GS1 Australia to Highlight Next Generation Barcode Readiness at Retail Show Australia 2026

Retail is moving beyond the traditional barcode.


Next Generation Barcodes are designed to connect a single scan with richer product information, creating new opportunities across traceability, inventory visibility, waste reduction, product data and customer experience.


For retailers, the shift is not only about adopting a new barcode format. It also raises practical questions around POS readiness, existing systems, product data and supply chain integration.


At Retail Show Australia 2026, GS1 Australia will join the Future Store Zone as an official Partner, helping retailers understand what preparation for this transition could look like across their operations.

Visitors can meet the GS1 Australia team at FS5 to explore how Next Generation Barcodes may affect current systems and what businesses should be considering as they plan ahead.
