Very often in warehouse management, it is essential to professionally pack your shipments to ensure that transportation and the delivery of goods are handled correctly by logistics providers and carriers.
Pallets must have a logistics number called an SSCC with a standardized label. Likewise, the packages placed on the pallets must be numbered and may also require a package identification complying with the globally used SSCC standard. Silicon ioi offers pallet and package management fully compliant with the SSCC standard.
Serial Shipping Container Code
The SSCC standard is extremely important in the transportation industry.
It is a globally unique identifier for pallets and packages, standardized by logistics providers according to the worldwide GS1 standard.
If you wish to use an SSCC identifier, you must reserve one or more number ranges from the global GS1 organization. Separate number ranges are available for pallets, packaging, and internal use.

With Silicon ioi, you have two options:
- Simple mode, focused on shipping and package definition.
You can manage pallets and packages during the shipping process. This allows you to accurately identify the package structure for each shipment and generate a packing slip showing the contents of every pallet and every package. You can also print labels for the different packages to be shipped, including pallet and package identification according to the SSCC standard.
This simple mode is included in your standard trading package. Training time should be planned for warehouse operators, as well as adjustments to the packing reports and label layouts. - If you are a logistics professional and want to manage packaged items and pallets, receive pallets, move pallets and packages, and ship pallets and packages directly, then choose the ioi Logistics module. In this more advanced scenario, using Silicon ioi mobile applications dedicated to warehouse management with pallets and packages is essential. Logistics operators can manage pallets and packages even without knowing their contents.
These features require a logistics license as well as a carefully planned implementation to ensure efficient and seamless warehouse operations.
For completeness:
- We provide an integrated solution to control industrial label printers while supporting EAN-128, Code39, and QR Code barcodes.
- Pallet and package identification is also available during goods receipt. Package content information is generally supplied through an EDI connection to maximize efficiency. This enables you to use the SSCC coding provided by your suppliers or logistics centers.
