What is the GS1 Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN)?
Global data synchronization takes the process of data synchronization and its associated benefits further by ensuring it is in full compliance with global standards that have been developed for various industries by GS1. This means the inefficiencies and increased costs inherent in proprietary systems are avoided. Instead, all companies using the GDSN only enter their data once and can send this data to multiple users, nationally and globally The GS1 Global Data Synchronization Network or GDSN is an automated, standards-based global environment that enables secure and continuous data synchronization, allowing all trading partners to have consistent item data in their systems at the same time. GS1 GDSN ensures that data exchanged between trading partners is accurate and compliant with universally supported GS1 standards. GS1 GDSN is active today with thousands of retailers and suppliers worldwide reaping the benefits of live GS1 GDSN implementations.
