Market access in Russia

Arvato Systems' product serialization solutions make it possible: the Swiss company Emmi can now track its own products worldwide along the entire value chain and at the same time secure its business in the strategically important Russian market in the long term. Since summer 2021, dairy products must comply with complex traceability and serialization regulations for import into Russia. A regulation that either already applies or will soon apply to numerous other consumer products. Emmi currently exports more than 100 different products to Russia.

These products, which are distributed in Russia via an exclusive importer, come from various automated production facilities within Switzerland. The newly introduced serialization solution from Arvato Systems fits seamlessly into these complex production and logistics processes. The complete solution implemented with Arvato Systems works on the basis of a customized SaaS (Software as a Service) setup. During production, for example, each wheel of cheese is labeled with a data matrix code that makes it unique. This code meets all the requirements for export to Russia.
