Transport and Logistics
Delivering a super-efficient end to end supply chain.
Globally standardising logistics labelling enables a smoother journey, end to end visibility and a better customer experience.
An efficient transport and logistics sector is critical to our country's economy
As a manufacturer, retailer or logistics service provider, you need to know exactly where your shipments are at any time, where they have come from and when and where they are due to arrive. It is here where GS1's transport and logistics solutions drive real value.

Identifying, capturing and sharing information about the movement of shipments not only enhances the visibility of it throughout the supply chain but creates a connected, highly efficient, sustainable and collaborative logistics environment globally.

Scan4Transport – driving digital capability in logistics
Scan4Transport (S4T) is the global standard for encoding transport data into a logistics label. The standard supports companies across the transport process including first mile, sortation and last mile activities and enables them to keep pace with the growing needs of their customers.
Having a single logistics label for use worldwide for all transport modes has many benefits:
- Operators can share common logistics information quickly and efficiently for both first and last mile processes
- Enhanced supply chain visibility throughout the transport journey
- Enhanced sortation opportunities because of the rich information that can be encoded into the logistics label
All this leads to smoother processes and a better customer experience.

SSCC
Serial Shipping Container Code
Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC)
The simplicity of one logistics label.
