    In this search and with this objective, between May and October of this year, the Municipality of Turrialba will continue working to achieve its development objectives, for this reason it joined forces with organizations such as GS1 Costa Rica and CINPE-UNA; that seek to provide experience and knowledge to add efficiency and standardization to municipalities such as Turrialba, which require progress accompanied by neutral experts who support them in their path of innovation and continuous improvement.

    “As we have stated, the first stage was established with municipal workers and GS1 officials, to address issues that have to do with asset management, which is necessary to better manage the resources of public services,” explained Fernando León, Mayor of theTown.
