Migros Group is now building its 'Logistics Data Marketplace' with the Norwegian platform technology provider Kezzler. The retail cooperative consistently follows the GS1 industry standard EPICS 2.0 for the data format, as the retail group also wants to make selected data accessible to external suppliers and logistics service providers via the platform.
