Retail and foodservice

A unified retail and foodservice sector stands together in using GS1 standards for barcode labelling of products and shipments.

However, our standards can be used for much more than that. Discover how your company can efficiently exchange accurate product master data and images with your trading partners – and increase sales through our services.

Get control of your master data

Complete and accurate product data is essential to get products onto the shelves – in stores and online.

We help you succeed with our services: GS1Trade Sync, GS1Trade Exact, and GS1Trade Image. Watch how in the video here.

How can GS1 standards and services be combined?


GTIN and GLN provide the unique identification that, in combination with data sharing and validation services – GS1Trade Sync, GS1Trade Exact, and GS1Trade Image – ensure that your products move smoothly through the supply chain with accurate master data, images, and a unique product number attached.

By adding our EDI service, GS1Trade Transact, we enable easy digital order receipt and invoice dispatch to both public and private trading partners.

Identification
GS1 identification numbers such as GLN, UDI-DI, SSCC, EAN, GS1-128, GS1 DataMatrix, IFT, and EPC/RFID are unique, global identifiers for products, pallets, shipments, and locations throughout the entire supply chain.
Data sharing
Exchange of mandatory product master data and images, with all data gathered in one place for use by trading partners.
EDI
User-friendly receipt of orders and dispatch of documents to private and public business partners, either integrated into your own financial system or as an online solution.
Data quality
Quality control of master data on physical products for use in data sharing. Product creation and product images in global standards and quality for planograms, webshops, and marketing.

Questions and answers

Can I combine your services as I wish?

In principle, yes. However, we recommend starting with GS1Trade Sync and then adding the services that create the most value for your business.

Please note that several GS1 services require you to have either a GLN or GTIN subscription.

Where can I find your pricing?

Is GS1Trade Sync required?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

In some cases, yes - but not if you only need GTINs and/or GLNs.

GS1Trade Sync is the foundation of many GS1 services, but you can still use services such as GS1Trade Transact and GS1Trade Activate without subscribing to GS1Trade Sync.

What is the difference between a standard and a service?

GS1 standards are the global rules and specifications that ensure products, locations, and data can be identified and exchanged consistently across the supply chain.

GS1 services are solutions that help you apply these standards in practice - for example, by creating, managing, validating, and sharing your product master data.
