The Tunisian company of Coding
GS1 Tunisia (previously Tunicode)
puts itself at the tuning fork regarding
the evolution of the means of communication.
It launches its own Newsletter in order
to put, directly and quickly, technical
information related to the sector of modern
commerce and logistics, at the disposal
of its members.
This initiative returns within the framework
of the new orientations decided by the board
of directors which would like that GS1 Tunisia
develops new added value services for better
meeting operators' expectations of the sector
and the members of the coding system .
From now on, GS1Tunisia has become a center
of expertise in order to accompany companies
in their levelling programs and in their
actions of setting in conformity with the
requirements of the modern commerce, as
well on the local market as on the external
ones.
The requirements of the modern commerce
relate in particular to (1) the identification
and marking by bar code (2) the pallet label
according to EAN 128 standard (3) the application
of the traceability, in particular for the
agro foodstuff (4) the automated exchange
of the data and commercial documents or
more generally the E-com.
We hope that this first issue of our Newsletter
meets our members' expectations and the
concerned economic operators. We remain
careful about your remarks and suggestions.

Stakes of coding standards
|
The identification of the country of origin,
the company and the product based on a system
of marking and traceability by bar codes (EAN8,
EAN13, EAN14, EAN128, GLN), makes it possible
to simplify the commercial procedures and
communication between the various national
and international trade partners. The globalisation
and the requirement of competitiveness of
our products, in particular on the external
markets, imply the adhesion of the Tunisian
economic operators to this system and this,
by already retaining the bar code as the product's
international indentity card . |
|
|
|
|
|
The code of the consumer unit is
single and is used for the identification
of the product. This code can be read
by the checkout scanner of the of
the retail sale store or by optical
reading devices used during inventories.
The shapes of bar codes used to codify
the Consumer Units are mainly the
EAN 13 and the EAN 8.
|
|
|
|
| The logistic
units defined by the supplier of the
product are also subject to coding rules,
these units are regroupings of consumer
units. The codes on the logistic units
are intended to identify and manage
flows of input/output of the goods on
the level of the warehouse. In the case
of foodstuff, information of quality
on the labels often makes it possible
to avoid a wasting of goods due to going
beyond the deadlines of consumption.
Standards EAN used to codify the Logistic
Units are: the ITF14 and the EAN128.
 |
|
|
|
| The Forwarding
Units are regroupings of consumer units
and/or Logistic Units . These regroupings
have a physical reality (pallet, box-pallet,
paperboard, box.) and can be also used
for the provisioning, the routing and
the storage of the goods. The international
standard of coding of these Forwarding
Units is Serial Shipping Container Codes:
“SSCC”. A standard Forwarding
Unit is characterized by the following
data: co-ordinates of the shipper and
the recipient, numbers of contained
consumer units , nature of the pallet,
the weight, dimensions, palletization…

of technologies, takes part to reinforce
the competitiveness of the Tunisian
products on the world market through
the international standardization of
the products coding and the popularization
of the culture of the traceability of

products intended for export, in particular
in the sector of the foodstuffs, obeys
a lawful requirement of the European
Union. |

also upstream of universities (ENIT,
ENSI, IHEC…), within the framework
of the joint co-operation projects with
the academic world, by putting in place
training modules and proposing training
offers on highly valuable subjects :
the traceability, RFID/EPC, the electronic
catalogue, Tunicommerce… |

TUNICOMMERCE Platform |
| One of the missions of
GS1 Tunisia consists of accompanying
the companies in the implementation
by standardized solutions which contribute
to the improvement of the performances
and the effectiveness of each speaker
throughout the chain of provisioning.
GS1 Tunisia will place soon at the
disposal of the companies a platform
of traceability and commercial transactions
TUNICOMMERCE which consists of a neutral,
inter company (B2B) place of market
. This mutualized platform of electronic
exchange has the role, on the one hand
to bring together between the suppliers
(industrial) and the purchasers (Customers/large
scale distribution) and on the other
hand, the dematerialization and the
automation of a part or totality of
flows of information and transactions:
prospection, definition of the needs
(electronic catalogues ), order, process
of purchase, invoicing....More

The
SMS service |
| It is
a service offered for general public
as well as for professionals, making
it possible to place at the disposal
the information on (the country of origin
and essential information subjective
to the product) starting from a request
sent by SMS to the platform of GS1 Tunisia.
It is enough to send an SMS containing
the numerical sequence of the bar code
to number 95991009.
