    I am the creator of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.closient.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.closient.com&#x2F; - a GS1 Digital Link Resolver (still building it, be gentle).

    I have been deep into this space for a fair bit of time now. The real power is in Recalls and Return Fraud. There a ton of other nice things that this will empower of course. AMA - I will do my best to answer.

    For some other stuff to read about how they can help have a poke at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.closient.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.closient.com&#x2F;

    Not advertising - just trying to get the word out on 2D codes and RFID and what they provide consumers.

    For those saying &quot;Why not something else?&quot; - it comes down to adoption - QR was just the more popular winner. While the register&#x2F;till is where most of the scanning is happening the QR is just a normal URL and consumer can scan them.

      Interesting, but your website looks completely AI-slopped.

        I agree. My focus has been on getting the product functional and compliant with the standards.

        Not denying what it is.

        Any suggestions on how to unslup it are always welcome.
