Universal Product Code

But to touch on one of the things that we recently updated was more wholesale centric type of features.

So things like being able to just upload a catalog into 3PMercury and it goes and basically UPC scraped.

So it takes all of those UPCs.

scans the Amazon catalog to see what ASINs match up to those UPCs and also what it does is since you are uploading that for your supplier what it does is now keeps records of your supplier case packs so essentially when you uh work a lead inside of 3p mercury for that supplier it uh since you've given it the like for instance the skew the upc the maybe case sizes so if it ham if it's sold in a case of 12 or 24 what it helps you with inside of the lead is when you purchase those leads and you let's just say you want to buy 13 asins 13 asin quantities right for one asin right and it knows that the case pack is 12 it's going to say you're going to have to buy two case packs So it helps you put together these orders a lot faster, generates those POs with one click for your supplier, and then on top of that, it does all of the heavy legwork of analyzing your UPC file or whatever.

But I do want to touch on a more broader concept, is that 3P Mercury When it comes to sourcing, we call it sourcing, but there are actually like technically four components that is inside of sourcing that I want to break out for those, you know, to help understand this a little bit better.

Whether you're doing RA, OA, or wholesale, we kind of follow the same process.

I said, every website, every website on planet Earth is able to be found.

Because we're not doing the traditional website scrape type of things that everybody's doing.

Number one, what's one mistake founders make before pitching to retail buyers?

Not being retail ready in the sense that they might not have a UPC code.

They might not have the correct legal labels.

They might not know what the FDA laws are for labels.

We do this in many different ways through training, practical guidance, or by ensuring that the code of conduct keeps pace with changes in the professional practice.

Yeah, and the UPC, the Unified Patent Court, is a good example of that.

Yes, that's absolutely true.

We changed the code of conduct some time ago, and the code of conduct now also applies for our members when they represent clients before the Unified Patent Court.

For example, in the last years, we succeeded in introducing a provision on file retention into the Code of Conduct.

And we succeeded in updating the provision on file transfers.

And we also revised the recommendation on the use of professional titles for UPC representatives as this title seemed more adequate and more commonly understood in the profession.

The European patent profession is remarkably diverse.

But let's play this video.

And then to all the med heads, if you have any questions, not so much about the logistics and the UPC codes, I'll have you go to FDA.org for that or USDA.

If you have questions about the infections and how they work, I'll take some questions.

But before we do that, Shador, real quickly, who was the first person in the Labor Day chat?

It's not all blueberries, okay? We're not even talking about fresh blueberries.

So if you go to your local farmer's market, even if you go to your grocery store and you get fresh blueberries, then at least not now, to my knowledge, we don't have recalls.

These are specifically certain lot numbers and UPC codes of frozen blueberries.

So there are some Publix frozen blueberries that are in both their frozen green wise berry mix, as well as their frozen green wise, just straight blueberry mix.

But we should be getting some pre-orders for the next English set, at least, for us.

Delta Rain and those elusive UPCs that everyone seems to have, except for... us yeah yeah but yeah the Walmart the Walmart system that they just adopted and a lot of people in the discord actually hit on I think prismatic ETBs were released via that new lottery drawing and there was something else I don't remember what it was

it was first partner series three okay I think that's the only two that I remember off the top of my head.

Maybe there was a Destin thing at one point.

I should have messaged you on the side.

And then that's really it for comments.

I mean, outside of just, someone actually said in the video that I put about the stolen product that I, one of my shorts that I posted on YouTube, he wrote, they are at most dollar, this is for the UPCs, Well, he said they are at most Dollar Generals in central Illinois.

If anyone is listening that's from central Illinois, please let me know for the past few weeks.

And one thing I'm building out right now is a Monday board because all of our communication is through text.

So she'll text me, here's a new UPC code.

I need you to enter it into the POS system.

Here's the price I think it should be.

How did you convince her to say yes? One thing you said, she will ask you to input in the POS system.

Why can she not do that herself?

You know what, that was something I was thinking of today because she got a text saying I didn't put in UPC codes that I was supposed to yesterday and reminding me that I needed to do it.

The other manager never set her up into our POS system besides just her cashier login.

So this new product, what it allows you to do is it allows you to prove all your social accounts, right? Including your Spotify and your Apple and your YouTube.

And then it allows you to aggregate your metadata around it, including all your UPC or ISRC codes.

If you're an author, your ISBN codes, like all that stuff.

And it allows you to pull your metadata in and prove it with cryptography.
