fcB2B Standard Shipping Label

Posted by Lewis Davis on April 20th, 2022 | Categories:?Standards

Provide a definition of a standard shipping label for the flooring industry. The standard label allows users to identify product being received by scanning the label and comparing to the Advance Shipping Notice (ASN). This will benefit the retailer by helping automate the receiving process leading to more accurate receiving. Multiple labels have been defined to address both roll goods and pallets. The label uses the GS1 128 format which is widely used within the supply chain by large retailers looking to have a consistent format for receiving and put away. This label is provided to the flooring industry for anyone looking for a standard shipping label.

Why fcB2B Certification?

Posted by Lewis Davis on April 19th, 2022 | Categories:?Standards

Why should the fcB2B provide certification? Without some type of validation process the B2B documents that are being passed between suppliers, distributors and retailers will continue to be inconsistent. Certification has been attempted multiple times in the fcB2B groups existence. In the past there wasn’t an independent entity to perform the certification. There also wasn’t a defined process for how certification happened.
