ShopSavvy supports DataBar
Lots of folks have asked whether or not ShopSavvy will support the new DataBar barcode standard for fresh food, jewelry and go-it-yourself hardware products. The easy answer is that we do and will continue to do so. These new codes include additional data including serial numbers, lot numbers and expiration dates. The standard will go into effect by 2010 with a target date of 2014 for all fresh products. Here is what they look like:
Errr, what do you mean by saying that you “do and will continue to do [support DataBar]” ?
Do you mean that ShopSavvy can already read it, because i am unable to make SS read DB – or do you merely mean that you support the idea “deep in your heart” and maybe some day in the future write code to read it?
DataBar is already in use in places, no waiting for 2010-14.

Ah, we support it, but until we get a retailer to sync it to data we can’t do much with it. Just like a 2D barcode – if it is linked to something related to shopping we will show the results, otherwise we ignore it.
