GS1 - The global language of business
GDSN
Global Data Synchronisation
Every company in the world has databases filled with information about
the products they make, sell, or buy. These databases act very much like
catalogues that customers can use to place orders and manage their supply
chain. Difficulties happen when one company needs to change any of the information
in their database or add a new item to it: suddenly their “catalogue”
isn’t up to date anymore and the information is no longer reliable.
This has become even more important in recent years: errors in invoices
and inefficiencies in a globalised supply chain reduce business profitability
and effectiveness.
The GS1 Global Data Synchronisation Network or GDSN® enables companies
who do business with each other to always have the same information in their
systems. Any changes made by one company are automatically and
immediately available to all of the other companies who do business with
them.
Accurate, detailed and up-to-date product information helps both companies
and consumers. Brand owners can get new products out to the market faster
and more smoothly. Retailers have less administrative work and fewer mistakes
in orders and shipments. And supermarket shoppers will be able to buy the
products they want, instead of seeing an empty shelf.
GS1’s Global Data Synchronisation Network enables supply chain
partners to continuously synchronise information improving efficiency in
their supply chains, and provide better service to the consumer.
