Retrieve EPC codes

Electronic product codes (EPC) are globally unique identifiers assigned to specific products, allowing items to be distinguished at the individual level. These identifiers support accurate inventory management by enabling faster cycle counts, streamlined adjustments, and more precise stock control.

After EPCs are obtained from GS1, they are encoded onto RFID tags, which are then applied to products and used throughout the inventory process.
