Allegro: Enhancing online shopping with trusted data
As Poland’s leading e-commerce platform, Allegro faced challenges with duplicate listings and inconsistent product data, making it harder for shoppers to find what they needed. By integrating GS1 GTINs and Verified by GS1, Allegro is improving searchability, streamlining product listings, and enhancing the overall shopping experience.
As Allegro expanded, managing duplicate listings and ensuring accurate product information became increasingly complex. Without a standardised approach, shoppers encountered multiple listings for the same product, leading to confusion and inefficiencies.
To tackle these challenges, Allegro implemented GS1 GTINs to uniquely identify products and integrated Verified by GS1 to authenticate product data. This verification process ensures that only genuine GTINs are used, helping Allegro eliminate duplicates, maintain data integrity, and create a more seamless shopping experience for both buyers and sellers.
By leveraging GS1 standards, Allegro continues to enhance its marketplace, making product discovery more efficient while supporting sellers with a streamlined listing process.
Deutsche Bahn (DB) + OHB: Standardized Product labelling
Questions such as "What do I have to mark and in what way?", "Where exactly does the code go?", "What exactly are GS1 standards?" or "Who will assure me that I am doing it correctly in the end?" are just some of the questions that companies are confronted with in the beginning of the project. This was no different for OHB Teledata GmbH. Here too, the company was faced with the decision of whether to tackle the issue internally and with an uncertain outcome or seek external help. In the end, they chose the support of the oneIDentity+ experts to successfully implement the project in an efficient and timely manner. This is the project report.
Schaeffler + Swiss Federal Railways (SBB): Significant progress with the digital...
The basis for the new life cycle management of bearing data is a data matrix code (DMC) on the axlebox bearings that allows data on the bearing history – from production to operation and maintenance – to be retrieved and shared between various companies worldwide.
This creates a lot of benefits:
Enhancing safer travel with predictive maintenance in transportation
Managing railways requires handling vast amounts of data from multiple operators—often in real time—creating operational complexity and risk. To address this challenge, SBB introduced a specialized EPCIS repository powered by the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG).
Already in production since 2021, this EPCIS repository—actively used by SBB and its partners—has demonstrated clear improvements in safety and sustainability. It enables seamless train tracking across the EU by querying a network of railway GS1 EPCIS repositories, supports advanced analytics for predictive maintenance of train wheels using IoT data, and facilitates the tracking of welding and maintenance events across the Swiss Federal Railways network with input from over 10 welding partners. Additionally, it enables event tracking for Forged Tongues, further enhancing operational reliability.
