Impact Analysis

Efficient ZES compliance requires optimized route planning and verifiable proof of delivery (PoD). GS1 standards like GLN (Global Location Number) identify the exact pick-up and delivery locations, while EPCIS allows companies to capture and share event data (e.g., vehicle used, time of delivery) to prove compliance and optimize last-mile logistics.

Recommended Actions

  • •Ensure all delivery and pick-up locations (GLNs) are accurately mapped and linked to ZES requirements.
  • •Implement EPCIS to track vehicle movements and emissions status for deliveries within ZES areas.
  • •Review logistics data processes to integrate vehicle identification (license plate/VIN) with delivery event data for compliance reporting.
  • •Utilize GS1 standards to streamline data exchange with logistics partners regarding vehicle type and route planning.
