SWOT - WEAKNESSES
FSO
STRENGTH
OPPORTUNITIES
WEAKNESSES
The code has a
limitation
(6-digits)
Mainly used in Europe
Independent
organisation founded by
a few members only
Not all activities are
covered by the
concept
Gender only for textile
and some other limited
product groups
Translation sometimes
not good enough
The key is only used by
certain retailers, some
major retailer missing
Not category drive
Multi-Sport & 2x
Leisure activities are
much to broad
Suppliers sometimes
feel forced to provide
the code
Multisport is the
basket for everything
Not detailed enough
More training to show
the user the benefit
Awareness: executive
management & users
Colors, material and
sizes not covered
Hardly any new retailers
or brands have started
using the key
No key advantages for
the suppliers/brands
THREATS
= KKS
Key
Killer
Factor
FEDAS Standardisation Organisation
SWOT - OPPORTUNITY
FSO
STRENGTH
OPPORTUNITIES
WEAKNESSES
FEDAS to be used by
everyone within our
industry
Adding additional
business like service,
rental
Link to standard code
information like HS,
recycling info, inco term
2000,…..
Focus on a more global
positioning
Make market reports
available
Extend the structure to
grant more granularity
Motivate WFSGI to
promote and host the PCK
Improve the data standard
integrity within Product Main
Group (focus on silhouette) &
Product Sub-Group (focus on
Gender-Age)
Extend the key to be
feasible also for
specialised shops
Offer report functionality
Improve code standard integrity
around Compete, Train,
Teamsport, Replica, Fan &
Fashion/Leisure Styles
Adding category to each
sport (activity)
Stronger involvement of
the industry to cover
better our need
ERP integration,
cooperation with ERP
providers
Clear code for color,
gender and sizes range
Maintain
EN/CE norm info
THREATS
= KFS
Key
Success
Factor
Motivate more
suppliers/brands to use
the code
Create advantages for the
suppliers/brands
(e.g. feedback market
figures)

STRENGTH
OPPORTUNITIES
WEAKNESSES
SWOT - THREATS
Other upcoming standards,
lunched by global retailers
such as Amazon, Taobao, Ali
Baba Group etc.
Danger of adding
unnecessary codes to
the new concept
Cost and effort of
changing is too high
Lack of interest
Some company will
stick to the old version
Switching to GPC
(global Prod Code) of
GS1
THREATS
= KKS
Key
Killer
Factor
A new version can be
too complicate
Chaos if we permit the
use of both versions
Benefits of new FEDAS
PCK are not substantial
enough to motivate
users to make change

Futsal (Select Sport DK)
Indoor soccer (for details please consult the enclosed brochure).
It seems that for the time being no special equipment exists
(must be confirmed), but if this activities is needed, it would be
sufficient to allocate it to an own main group under the activity
88 “Various games & sports”.
