The connection between GS1 US and VICS focuses on processes, procedures, and guidelines that use GS1 Standards. For example, VICS helped drive adoption of the U.P.C. barcode in the apparel industry, in addition to guiding the industry in the adoption of best practices for Floor Ready Merchandise, Collaborative, Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR), Logistics, and other important initiatives.

Both the VICS Item Level RFID Initiative and the GS1 US Item Level Readiness Program are designed to provide the education, training, tools, and community support that apparel and general merchandise retailers – and brands – need to implement Electronic Product Code (EPC) item level tagging into day-to-day operations.

VICS currently has 143 members; 68 percent of which also belong to GS1 US, which serves over 200,000 companies as part of the global GS1 organization.
