Electronic commerce, EDI and bar coding are technologies

the right choices when there seem to be so many? IBCA offers
the tools and knowledge that manufacturers need to hop on
the information superhighway.

Electronic
Data Base Distribution. Suppliers who assign U.P.C.
numbers to their products may submit an electronic copy
of their inventory file to be logged into the IBCA/INSIGHT
data base. We will verify file format, add files to the
data base and distribute files, in standard format, via
the Internet. The advantage to the manufacturer is that
whenever he/she receives requests from customers for a
copy of the file, he/she can just direct them to the
IBCA web site. In addition, the customer can go to one
convenient source to obtain listings for one or more
suppliers. Currently the data base contains over 500,000
items. Click here to view the current list of files.
-
Label Review.
Send us samples of your labels for review. We will
verify compliance with your industry guidelines,
including: label layout; symbologies used; bar code
scannability; human readable data; and overall print
quality.
