DataMatrix labeling in Kazakhstan: how businesses can operate without fines
If you sell beer or other labeled goods, you need cash register for labeled goods and an accounting system that understands code statuses. SYNTERRA — retail software with DataMatrix support: scanning at the checkout, code control, inventory tracking and data transfer via OFD. For ESF and SNT, we support NKT/NTIN according to RK requirements from January 1, 2026.

Mandatory DataMatrix labeling in the Republic of Kazakhstan
From February 1, requirements for mandatory digital labeling of beer products using DataMatrix codes were introduced in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The labeling is aimed at full control over the circulation of goods — from the manufacturer to the final sale at the cash register.
For the business, this means mandatory labeling of beer products in Kazakhstan and the need for ready-made trading software: cash register + accounting + correct data transfer.

accounting system and inventory control
data transfer through OFD and government systems
Using unprepared software or manual accounting leads to errors, fines, and sales blockage.
What is DataMatrix and why a regular cash register is not enough
DataMatrix is a unique labeling code that is assigned to each unit of goods. Unlike a regular barcode, DataMatrix is unique for each bottle or keg, tracked by government systems, and does not allow the same code to be resold.
A regular cash register without an accounting system does not track code statuses, does not maintain inventory, and does not protect the business from staff errors. Therefore, the business needs a solution where the cash register and accounting work together: accounting program for labeling + POS.
