GS1 is the organisation behind global standards for product identification and data sharing, known for the barcode. A GTIN uniquely identifies an item, a GLN a location or company. GS1 data pools supply product data, EAN codes and allergens to retail and food.
Identifying products and locations uniquely
GS1 manages the standards that unambiguously identify products and companies all over the world. A GTIN (Global Trade Item Number, the numbers behind the EAN barcode) uniquely identifies an item. A GLN (Global Location Number) does the same for a location, warehouse or company.
Because everyone uses the same numbers, supplier, retailer and carrier know for certain that they are talking about the same item or location. That is the basis underneath EDI and e-commerce.
GS1 data pools
Via GS1 data pools, such as GS1 Data Source in food, suppliers share rich product data: descriptions, dimensions, allergens and images. We connect that data directly to your ERP or PIM, so that your product information is correct without manual work.
