vareinformasjon

Vareinformasjon refers to the detailed data and characteristics of a product or service that is provided to facilitate informed decision-making. In business operations, this involves collecting and accumulating comprehensive data about each item, which is then used to enhance the existing functionality of products or services, improve their performance, control consumption, and meet sorting requirements.

The collection and processing of vareinformasjon often occur manually or automatically, through barcodes or RFID tags. Retailers, for example, collect vareinformasjon about inventory using a mishmash of methods. Electronic labels and further miniaturization of labels enable automatic reading and entry, obviating the need for manual data collection.

Companies acquire, update, and utilize vareinformasjon as a critical business factor. Accurate vareinformasjon is essential in making decisions regarding purchases, smart management of infrastructure, and the development of new products or services. For this purpose, the vareinformasjon systems are fully integrated in the management systems and operational technologies, improving cooperation and facilitating better decision support and critical decision-making.

The term vareinformasjon is primarily used in Scandinavian countries, particularly in Norway. While not a widely used term in international business, its application is expanding due to the growing demand for efficient management and precise market analysis.
