One of the directions of digital transformation of retail is the introduction into the practice of retail companies of state information systems, such as USAIS, Mercury, online cash registers and labeling by means of identification. A large expert discussion "State infrastructure projects: Product traceability" will be devoted to the discussion of related issues at the Russian Retail Week 2018. The event will be held on June 6 and will bring together leading specialists of retail chains and manufacturers of goods, independent experts and heads of government authorities of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, Ministry of Economic Development, Rosselkhoznadzor, Federal Tax Service, Rosalkogolregulirovaniya and others.

Innovations of 2018 in the development of State infrastructure projects

From July 1, 2018, online sales registers should find application in the work of organizations and sole proprietors that provide services to the public with the involvement of employees. And from the beginning of 2019, in accordance with the provisions of Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated 21.03.2017 No. MMV-7-20/229@, the use of the fiscal data format (FFD) in version 1.0 will not be allowed.

The product labeling system is also actively developing The Government of the Russian Federation provides for the introduction of a system of marking goods with control (identification) marks until 2024. This process began with the marking of RFID- tags of fur products and showed excellent results. On April 28, 2018, a new Government Decree was issued approving the list of individual goods subject to mandatory labeling by means of identification, which included a number of product categories, such as shoes, tobacco, medicines and some others.

An almost three-year transition period is coming to an end, which allowed, at the choice of the manufacturer of animal products, to issue veterinary accompanying documents (VSD) on paper or in electronic form. From July 1, 2018, all market participants must connect to the GIS "Mercury" and switch to the registration of exclusively electronic veterinary accompanying documents (EVSD). 

Also, from July 1, 2018, a new stage of development of the USAIS to version 3.0 begins, when the movement of all alcoholic beverages from the manufacturer to the buyer will be carried out on the basis of pomarochny accounting. The innovation assumes that each excise stamp will correspond to a specific bottle, and not impersonally relate to the released batch. If the new requirements are not met, alcohol retailers may lose their alcohol license. 

New stages of GIS implementation are always accompanied by significant changes in the business processes of manufacturers and retailers. The discussion of all issues related to this transformation will be devoted to the expert discussion "State infrastructure projects: traceability of products". Experts, representatives of regional authorities, specialists and top managers of retail chains and manufacturers of goods for retail are invited to participate in its work.
