Safe and Efficient, Accelerated Internationalization Growth

“GS1 Singapore and Attunemen share similar DNA traits – we are both standards and quality-driven, and these traits underscore our quality expectations and services. Attunemen has several in-house technologies and processes that ensure the quality of our work and help reduce cost for our customers (such as through translation recycling), nevertheless, we are increasingly focused on automation and technology integration to accelerate turnaround and reduce the need for human intervention. Partnering with GS1 Singapore makes great sense as their content development services & solutions are highly complementary with our translation services. The combined offering will greatly benefit both our customers by reducing time and cost, while ensuring standards compliance. We are also looking to co-launch a new platform that will allow customers with sizeable on-going needs to use our combined services easily and quickly through self-service. Our next step is to share the benefits of our unique, and integrated content development/translation/management services with our customers.”, said Kelvin Chan, General Manager of Attunemen and MediqTrans.

“Life Sciences organisations especially medical devices and product manufacturers, can benefit greatly from this partnership, especially if they are invested into expanding their business via the digital economy and need creative solutions & help to scale their global marketing efforts in the most cost-effective way possible.”, added Kelvin Chan.

The DNA Hub is part of GS1 Singapore’s efforts to support industry transformation for digitalisation so as to better serve business needs beyond barcode issuance for unique identification. This is key to supporting Online searches, Track and Trace; Anti-counterfeiting applications and is foundational as businesses embark on ecommerce as an important channel for growth.
