GS1 standards unify companies by providing a system where products and other assets are identified, recorded, and the information shared globally.
A GS1 standard is a system that connects a product with all its vital data, allowing trackability, workflow efficiency, and sharing of information via electronic methods. They use barcodes to save crucial information on the product or item to ensure they can easily single them out. GS1 codes are different throughout the supply chain, as they solely depend on the information affixed directly to them.
Businesses and companies of all kinds can take advantage of GS1 data pool services.
Various industries take advantage of the GS1 database. It primarily focuses on the retail industry and marketplaces, servicing the consumer packaged goods, fresh foods, grocery, apparel, and general merchandise industries. Other industries that have embraced the GS1 data hub include healthcare, tech, foodservice and transport & logistics.
Verified by GS1 is a solution that allows companies and data recipients to confirm a product’s data quality and its identity by searching it in the GS1 registry platform.
