OMG Bubble tea goes for OMG data quality with My Data Capture
In today’s fast-paced market, efficiently managing product information is crucial. For OMG Bubble Tea, a fast-growing company from Lithuania, expanding into major European retailers presented new challenges. In this case, to meet the requirements for selling at Colruyt Group, they needed to provide a GS1 GDSN-compliant product sheet. We spoke with Linas, Regional Manager and Export Manager at OMG Bubble Tea, to discuss how the company navigated this process.
About OMG Bubble Tea
Founded in 2022, OMG Bubble Tea wasted no time shaking up the bubble tea game, expanding into 25 European countries.
"The main idea was simple – give people ready-to-drink bubble tea without the hassle of waiting in line,” says Linas. In Belgium, you can already find OMG Bubble Tea in Carrefour, and soon Colruyt will be joining the list.
The Journey to GS1: meeting retailer requirements
In August, OMG Bubble Tea connected with GS1 Belgium & Luxembourg to prepare for sales with Colruyt Group.
"We already had our GTINs through GS1 Lithuania, but Colruyt Group required us to create a GDSN standardised product sheet and to publish it on My Product Manager, something that is not yet available in Lithuania," Linas recalls. “Before this, OMG Bubble Tea didn’t deal with standardized product sheets. “We sold directly to our retailers and just never needed it before,” Linas adds.
Why My Data Capture was the perfect solution
Rather than navigating My Product Manager themselves, OMG Bubble Tea chose My Data Capture. " The idea behind My Product Manager is brilliant, but we didn’t want to spend hours learning how to use it.”
“We decided to let the pros handle the data input while we focused on growing our business," Linas explains.
"GS1 Belgilux took care of all data entry in My Product Manager. Once this was in order, they guided us in publishing the product sheets (for which the supplier is ultimately responsible). The process went smoothly this way," he adds.
An OMG service
Linas praises GS1’s support throughout the process: "Jonathan, our GS1 contact, was an amazing help. Everything was clear, professional, and we never had to wait long for a response," Linas shares.
Thanks to My Data Capture, all the data is compliant with GS1 GDSN standards, passes every validation, and is readily available for data recipients.
Advice for other companies
For companies in the FMCG sector, Linas has some advice:
"Don’t waste your time trying to do everything yourself. Let the professionals handle it!"
By choosing My Data Capture, OMG Bubble Tea could keep its focus on growth while GS1 ensured their product info met global standards. "GS1 Belgilux made it a breeze for us, and I’d highly recommend their services to other companies," Linas wraps up.
