GS1 Germany presented the ECR Award for the 22nd time at the ECR Days in Bonn. The industry award recognises exemplary cross-company collaboration that contributes to optimising value creation and increasing customer benefits.
Markant received the Collaboration Excellence Award together with Büntning, Dachser, Nestlé, Procter & Gamble and Rossmann for their collaboration on the end-to-end automation of the order-to-cash process – resulting in the digital case file (DVA). In presenting the award, GS1 emphasises that this connects industry and retail in a completely new way in terms of real-time data, machine-readable complaints, workflow integration and transparency in the receipt of goods.
The digital case file is an open, cloud-based system for automating the complaints process. This not only saves paper delivery notes, but also up to 100 minutes per complaint. By the end of 2025, around one million deliveries are expected to have been processed via the DVA.
The Sustainability Excellence Award went to more than 40 companies and 150 experts from the Data for Sustainability programme – including Markant. The focus of this collaboration is the creation of a best practice standard for the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
The Markant Group is delighted to be involved in two successful projects and is grateful for the immense appreciation of GS1 Germany.
