Get Access To Accurate & Reliable Product Information Through A Simple Mobile Scan Using The Smart Consumer Mobile App

With technology made available to everyone with ease, just one click can help people gather information about anything & everything. From gathering news from around the world to translating different languages, and getting to know about new product ranges, to purchasing them, everything is just a click away.

Since we live in a digitally connected world, more than 80 percent of people who own mobile devices search for products and services online. Among those 80 percent, 27 percent are looking for smartphone devices that are connected to the products or services they wish to buy.

But with a lot of information available offline and online, there is only one question that pops up in our mind. Is the information we are consuming about products reliable and complete?

We all know that barcodes play an integral role in establishing product identity and verifying product claims. In addition to being used in a variety of B2B operations, barcodes are also used by customers to verify the products and gain more information on them. This becomes possible with the introduction of numerous mobile scanning apps, which enable customers to access more product details and also validate the promises made on the product label.

One such trusted scanning app is the Smart Consumer Mobile App that empowers consumers to easily access reliable product information at their fingertips.

When we go to the grocery store to buy food products, usually we only check for manufacturing and expiry dates before purchase and sometimes it is difficult to read the information on the pack because it is too small to read or written in such a way.

Through this app, consumers can verify the company/product information given on the label and can easily connect with the brand owner by just scanning the barcode of the product starting with ‘890’.
By scanning the barcode on any Indian product, the Smart Consumer mobile app empowers consumers with its digital product information, such as product’s name, date of manufacture, MRP, net content, manufacturer details and consumer care details, regulatory information like FSSAI/ISI/BEE license number and its validity, etc.

This app also helps its consumers to have additional product information, such as food ingredients, consistency, life, calories, recipes and much more, which is inaccessible in the product’s description.
Smart Consumer App can also be used by consumers to share product feedback and complaints against manufacturers and allow brand owners to connect with consumers directly by sharing relevant, accurate and reliable information with them.

So, don’t just wait, become smart consumers by downloading Smart Consumer App from your Android and iOS smartphones and start scanning products with ‘890’ barcodes.

TRACEABILITY - WHAT, WHY AND HOW

With technological advancement and cut-throat competition in the market, gaining consumer confidence and maintaining real-time product visibility in the supply chain is difficult. Product traceability becomes an important business requirement in today’s context, primarily, because the consumers are increasingly getting conscious of what products they are buying and consuming, and hence would like to validate products through traceability. Besides, there were various trade and consumer safety related reasons that have led to the realization of critical need of a strong and effective traceability solution in supply chain management. For instance, back in early 2006-07, there was a large-scale concern about Samsung mobile phones getting blasted due to battery issues. This caused the manufacturer to identify the problem, stop production and recall all mobile sets already in the market. Traceability in such situations provides an effective system to easily recall products .
