GS1 - The global language of business
EDI
eCom Standards for EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)
Business is global now. That means you, and your suppliers, and your logistics
firm, and your accounting department, and everyone else involved in your
business deals, need to be able to communicate efficiently with your clients
in China. And the ones in France, Brazil, Indian and South Korea, too.
No matter what languages you can speak, you’ll also need a way of
swiftly and smoothly sharing business information across the entire supply
chain.
And why not do it without quite so many piles and piles of paper! Offices
today can be buried in paper, Purchases orders, Despatch orders, Shipping
manifests, Delivery slips, Receipts, Invoices, Payments statements, Paper
to verify, Paper to type into the computer system, Paper to file away, and
every piece of it a waste of time, efforty money and CO2.
Luckily, GS1 can provide a better way.
GS1 eCom standards provide clear guidelines for creating electronic
versions of all these sorts of business documents. Our standards
enable trading partners to smoothly exchange information electronically.
No matter what their internal hardware or software systems. No matter what
language they speak at home.
With such standards, partners in a supply chain can work together to respond
more rapidly to consumers' demands. Fewer mistakes are made from poor keying
or bad handwriting. Not quite so much paper is wasted. And no one has to
master a dozen foreign languages to succeed internationally
