GS1 Global Product Classification

Manage your product information with our GS1 Global Product Classification-ready solution.

Maintaining a consistent product catalog across business lines, channels and IT applications has became critical for manufacturers and retailers. For many years, companies had to rely on complex and costly product information management software or their own implementation in ERP or custom systems. With standards such as GS1 Global Product Classification, the pressure to have high quality product information is even more important.

GS1 / Global Product Classification-ready

To ensure products are classified correctly and uniformly, GDSN uses GS1 Global Product Classification (GPC), a system that gives buyers and sellers a common language for grouping products in the same way, everywhere in the world. This improves the Global Data Synchronization Network's data accuracy and integrity, speeds up the supply chain's ability to react to consumer needs, and contributes to breaking down language barriers. It also facilitates the reporting process across product silos.

As a partner of GS1, we provide a full access to the GPC hierarchy. This allows easy linking of your product data to the GPC brick codes with automatic inheritance of GPC code attributes.
