Products & Solutions

GS1 manages a global system that allows companies all around the world to globally and uniquely identify their physical things like trade items (for products & services), assets, logistic units, shipments, and physical locations and logical things like a corporation or a service relationship between provider and recipient. When this powerful identification system is combined with GS1 BarCodes, EPC tags, eCom business messages, the connection is made between these physical or logical things and the information the supply chain needs about them. With the connection made, one world of global commerce comes into view.

Global data and application standards for bar codes that use the globally recognised GS1 Identification Keys to automatically identify things such as trade items, locations, logistic units, and assets.

Global standards for electronic business messaging that allow rapid, efficient and accurate automatic electronic transmission of agreed business data between trading partners. Based on two components: GS1 EANCOM and GS1 XML.

The Global Data Synchronisation Network™ (GDSN™) is an automated, standards-based, global environment that enables secure and continuous data synchronisation , allowing all partners to have consistent item data in their systems at the same time. Global Product Classification (GPC) is a key component of GDSN , enabling effective category management.

A new global standards system that combines RFID (radio frequency identification) technology, existing communications network infastructure and the Electronic Product Code (a number for uniquely identifying an item) to enable immediate and automatic identification and tracking of an item through the whole supply chain globally, resulting in improved efficiency and visibility of the supply chain.

GS1 also offers solutions integrating a number of GS1 products. Traceability is a robust solution for tracking and tracing items through the food supply chain. Patient Safety ensures prevention of medical errors and counterfeiting through the healthcare supply chain.
