Bar Code Graphics recognized as a B2B company with a proven track record of helping companies grow.

CHICAGO, Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, announced its third annual Power Partner Awards. The 2024 prestigious list honors B2B organizations across the country that have proven track records supporting entrepreneurs and helping startups grow. This year’s list recognizes Bar Code Graphics among 359 companies in marketing and advertising, business services, legal, logistics, public relations, and productivity, as well as other critical areas of business.

“This recognition validates our unique value proposition and commitment to our partners.” said Andrew Verb, President of Bar Code Graphics.

Every company on the Inc. Power Partner award list received top marks from clients for being instrumental in helping leadership navigate the dynamic world of startups. “This is our definitive listing of vendors and suppliers who have demonstrated excellence in serving small- and midsize customers,” says Inc. editor in chief Mike Hofman. “As part of the vetting process, our team of editors, researchers and reporters gathered information on companies’ products and services, assessed their reputation as captured in online comments and forums, and collected customer testimonials to ensure that the sales pitch matches the actual client experience. We’re happy to be the conduit for that positive word of mouth.”

Bar Code Graphics specializes in standardized barcode identification, so accurate and compliant data can be efficiently bridged from physical products and shipments to digitized supply chain ecosystems. Their specialized focus on niche segments within the barcode industry, where adherence to standards is paramount, facilitates benefits for both retailers, marketplaces and suppliers.

Over 125,000 manufacturers, publishers, and retailers have relied on Bar Code Graphics for assistance managing their product data, creating their barcodes and administering supply chain compliance. By prioritizing client education and personal customer support, they have integrated specialized consulting services with their high resolution digital barcode generation and barcode print quality testing services. Their GS1 Barcode Support programs provide comprehensive assistance to thousands of companies, with assigned consultants managing GTIN assignments and personally reviewing all entered product data to insure accurate data is being conveyed to clients’ supply chain partners.

“This recognition validates our unique value proposition and commitment to our client partners.” said Andrew Verb, President of Bar Code Graphics. “Our strategy for providing customer service is fundamentally different from that of the standards organizations and supply chain companies, who see it as an expense. Contrarily, we view direct interaction with clients as a chance to verify barcode compliance, advance knowledge, and foster loyalty.”

As consumers increasingly seek more information about the products they purchase, the need for accurate product identification and brand-controlled content has become essential. The GTIN.cloud management portal leverages AI to ensure data structure compliance, with each product entry reviewed by a consultant before it goes live. This meticulous approach provides consumers with confidence in the products they buy and the accompanying information.
